• Scandelicious Baking- An Update on the August Cooking The Books Challenge.

  

  It’s been a few weeks since I updated my blog. There’s been so much going on.  Once the school holidays are over I’m back into work mode and there is barely time to get the jobs around the house done.  Then again, I haven’t managed to get anywhere near my computer.  So I thought I’d better […]

• Rum Babas from The Great British Bake Off -Showstopper Bakes.

  Last year when the Great British Bake Off was on I was tempted by the Rum Babas that the contestants were asked to make for their Technical Challenge in the very first week.
