Over the past three years my kitchen kit has more than doubled in size. If you’ve got a keen baker in your life, this week’s blog is full of great Christmas gift ideas.
Christmas Gift Guide for Bakers

Winter Is Coming
We’ve been in Manchester this weekend for our annual Bake Off Christmas dinner. A long drive back but time for a quick blog update.
Any Excuse to Bake
Feeling hungry? Bake. Feeling down? Bake. Feeling bored? Bake. Feeling excited about Christmas? Bake. Want to cheer someone up? Bake. Want to raise some money for charity? Bake. I’m not saying baking will solve all your problems, but it’s a pretty good place to start!
November Rain
It’s raining, it’s cold, the heating’s on, the winter duvet’s on the bed. Donald Trump might become the most powerful man on the planet in a few days. What better time to hunker down and eat cake. Come on, join me, you know it makes sense!
Autumn Larks & Final Bakes
Just back from a long, Halloweeny weekend in the countryside for half term. It’s been a great week including Candice’s well deserved Bake Off win.
Foughoulish Fougasse Recipe
It’s half term week for us so a great excuse to do some fun baking with the kids. Why not try giving this fougasse recipe a go – perfect for Halloween!
Baking on the Road
A quick blog post tonight as I’m in the middle of another very exciting cake commission so have to get back to it. This week has been all about baking on the road.
Happy 2nd Birthday To My Blog
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.
Bake Off Family
I’ve had three weeks on the trot where I’ve been surrounded by my GBBO family. The Great British Bake Off has given a lot of happiness to millions of people, but to me it’s given me a wonderful bunch of friends too.
Bread-xit
What a week! They say a week is a long time in politics but it’s been even longer in the world of Bake Off. I need a lie down, but first, there’s plenty of news to update you on…
