We don’t have Thanksgiving in the UK, but if we did, I reckon it might feel a bit like this week. It’s been an opportunity to look back on the year, spend time with good friends and say thank you.
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.
My final baking projects of the year are done and dusted and I’m really looking forward to Christmas now.

If you want to give the gingerbread house above a go, this week’s blog has everything you need to know.
It’s two years this week since I started blogging so to celebrate I’m sharing a fantastic egg-free chocolate cake recipe with you. I’ve spent all week baking and still have loads more to do for an event on Wednesday but currently stuffed full of trifle and lazing on the sofa.
I was lucky enough to go to the ChildLine 30th Anniversary Ball this week. It was a Bake Off themed event and best of all, all of this year’s Great British Bake Off stars were there too!
This year marks 100 years since the birth of Roald Dahl. And today marks seven years since the birth of our eldest daughter. So this weekend we put the two together and had a good old fashioned knees up!
Settling down with a cup of tea this evening after another busy weekend. I made this mandala cake for a 7th birthday party today and I think it’s my most popular cake yet (certainly on my Instagram!) Some tips on how to make your own on this week’s blog.
We’ve been celebrating our daughter’s 4th birthday today so just a quick blog update as I’m all partied out!
