What’s the collective noun for a group of Father Christmases / Santa Clauses / St Nicholases, as we met about 2,000 of them this morning?! A merriment perhaps? This week couldn’t have felt more festive if it tried!
Christmas cake
Rainbow Bright
As usually happens in the run up to Christmas, baking has taken over building work. I don’t mind at all as kitchens are nice and warm and I’ve been having lots of fun too.
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.
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!
Farewell 2015
What a year! Thanks for following my recipes and blog updates this year. Here’s what I’ve been up to for the past few weeks and my run-down of 2015…
Ain’t No Party Like A Bake Off Party!
A bit bleary-eyed today after a fantastic Christmas dinner with my baker buddies last night.
A Pointless Dream Fulfilled
It’s been a busy couple of weeks since my last blog post. One of my post-GBBO highlights has been appearing on my favourite gameshow, Pointless, which aired last night. It was such a laugh watching it back yesterday. If you haven’t seen it yet, catch it on iPlayer as there are spoilers below!
