I haven’t disappeared! Hello lovely readers. I realise I start a lot of my posts with an apology for not posting regularly and I can only apologise again. I have had a busy few months with lots of ups and downs. The last time I posted was just before my dear grandmother passed away. I…

Chocolate Orange Profiteroles
It’s that time of year again. A time for reflection and a time to sit back and enjoy ourselves with our loved ones. But it’s also an incredibly busy and somewhat stressful time too, let’s be honest! I truly do love Christmas. I love the decorations, the movies, and of course the food. I also…
My Daughter’s 3rd Birthday Cake
My daughter turned 3 a couple of weeks ago (where on earth did those 3 years go?) and I was determined to make her a cake, despite the fact I was drowning in work and social activities. For those of you who saw my cake last year, you will know that I love baking but…
Diwali Biscuits
Happy Diwali to all that are celebrating this year 🙂 Making biscuits for Diwali is one of our family traditions. Whilst it may not be something you associate with Diwali, it’s something we always made alongside all the spicy snacks and sweet treats. My Mum and I would make biscuits every year and hand them…
Lemon Meringue Pie
It’s British Pie Week and I am here for it. Is there anything more comforting than a pie? There is something very special about pulling a hand made pie out of the oven, whether sweet or savoury, it’s simply joyous. I love a savoury pie, from the classic chicken and mushroom or my recent vegetarian…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Happy Halloween everyone! Now although this is not exactly a spooky Halloween post, it’s inspired by the flavours that everyone is enjoying at the moment. Isn’t Autumn just beautiful? Look at these gorgeous leaves we found around our house. I just love the colours. What is Pumpkin Spice? I started to see pumpkin spice everywhere…
Birthday Cake!
Did somebody say cake? It was my daughters 2nd birthday yesterday. Two years have flown past. I know everybody says they grow up quick but gosh I didn’t realise it was this quick. My little one is now the boss of the house. From the moment we wake up it’s all go, hopping from one…
Banana and Chocolate Chip Muffins
I love to bake but sometimes I think my waistline could do without it. There’s nothing wrong with a little cake, but if I can make it a little lighter I will. I’m not a huge fan of over complicated recipes that ask for strange ingredients to make it healthier. Also I’m a little bored…
Coconut, Raspberry and Hazelnut Brownies
I absolutely love to bake. There’s something very special about mixing a few ingredients, popping it in the oven and seeing it transform into something warm and delicious. I used to bake a lot but recently struggle to find the time to do so. I have been attending lots of weddings and have been eating…
Gingerbread Stars
It’s Christmas! I love this time of year because for me it means lots of yummy food, seeing friends and family and ending the year on a high. I love to bake at this time of year (or any time of year to be fair) and this weekend was gingerbread time. After making a huge…
