Easter Hols have started here so we’re down by the coast for a few days. Spring is in the air and we’re trying to spend as much time outdoors as possible.

Tiramisu Cake
It’s Mother’s Day next Sunday so this weekend I invented a cake based on my Mum, Mother-in-Law and Wife’s favourite dessert: tiramisu. Follow the recipe below to make the mum in your life know how appreciated she is.
Birthday Larks
Death by chocolate, dancing dogs and chainsaw fun on tonight’s blog. It was my birthday this week so I was on the receiving end of a cake for a change. I’ve been really spoilt by my family and also had a fab weekend lumberjacking thanks to the team at STIHL.
Spring Cleaning
I do a lot of food demos all over the country but one this week got me thinking much more than usual and sparked off a bit of an early spring clean for me.
Chin Up, There’s Always Cake
No matter what your politics, this has been an extraordinary week. I’ve been taking comfort in some of life’s more simple pleasures this week: family, food, fresh air and music.
How to Pipe Royal Icing
This week’s cake took a few hours and a steady hand but hopefully some of the tips I’ll share on today’s blog will help you try piping like this yourselves.

Happy New Year
First blog of the year and it’s a resolution-free zone. Time for a quick look back and look forward though. I’ll feel ready for 2017 once the hangover subsides…
Feeling Festive
My final baking projects of the year are done and dusted and I’m really looking forward to Christmas now. The only bakes left to make are the ones that my family and I are going to enjoy over the next week or so. If you want to give the gingerbread house above a go, this week’s blog has everything you need to know.
My Christmas Kitchen
I’m pretty much going to be baking non-stop between now and Christmas. This week has included a real highlight for me.
