My baking’s gone back to basics and I’m enjoying it more than ever. On this week’s blog I’m sharing a few backing hacks as well as plenty more DIY advice.

Dad Life
I’ve been working on my own house recently, which has given me the opportunity to spend much more time with the kids. This week our youngest was a bit poorly so it’s been a quiet week spent mostly on a sofa under a sleeping toddler – not all bad!
Building Skills
It’s three years ago today that my Great British Bake Off Final aired to an audience of 14 million viewers. I don’t think I’ll ever get my head around that. A good time to reflect on what’s changed since then. Such a lot of exciting opportunities and this week, my new building column launched too.
The Times They Are A-Changin’
All change in our gaff this week as I’m starting on an exciting new house project. With the weather, the conkers and the back-to-school mayhem, autumn’s come with a bang!
That’s Amore!
Back today from the most incredible fortnight in Italy. Just in time for the new series of Bake Off too.
Countryfile Live
We’ve been camping in the beautiful grounds of Blenheim Palace this week, enjoying the Countryfile Live festival and having loads of outdoor fun. Absolutely exhausted now but it was totally worth it…
Rainbow Cake Recipe
It’s been the Pride in London celebrations this weekend, so a great excuse to make a rainbow coloured cake. Everything you need to know to make a lemon funfetti cake like this for yourself is on this week’s blog.
Happy Father’s Day
I’ve been spoilt this Father’s Day, though I’ve spent most of it without my kids. We’ve been enjoying the sunshine all over the West Country this weekend. It’s such a beautiful part of the world.
Beach Buddies
Just back from a wonderful weekend by the sea with this awesome gang. So grateful to the Bake Off experience for bringing friends like these into my life.
Brownie Points
I’ve been earning some Dad and Uncle Brownie Points this week, with a little help from Wicked Uncle too. There’s also a super easy chocolate brownie recipe for you on the blog this week.
