While this week’s been a bit crazy for me, there are 12 other people it’s been a whole lot crazier for. I can’t wait for the new series of Bake Off to start this Wednesday – on your marks, get set, BAKE!

B.I.Y. On Tour
No blog from me last week as I’ve been flat out with work but I’ve got a fun few weeks ahead. Come and catch up with me in person if you get a chance!
Richard Burr, Author
So I’m officially a published author! The first copy of my book, B.I.Y. Bake It Yourself, arrived this week and it looks fantastic.
Father’s Day? Father’s Week!
I’ve had a fantastic week this week getting to do some really cool things and ending in a great Father’s Day.
Sugar Rush
A great week ending in my daughter’s 6th birthday party. My kids’ birthday cakes are one of the main reasons I got into baking in the first place. This one was particularly sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
On Yer Bike!
When you get accepted as a contestant on the Great British Bake Off, there’s a very interesting part of the contract. It warns “you will gain weight”! I have to say that with the amount of baking I’ve done over the past 18 months, it’s inevitable that it takes its toll a bit but I’ve got quite an active week ahead to start making up for it.
Anzac Biscuit Recipe
It’s Anzac Day today so have a go at this easy biscuit recipe. If you can restrain yourself from eating them in one sitting, they keep pretty well. They were historically sent to soldiers on the front line and it’s the Anzac Day centenary this year.
Easter Holidays
No blog from me last week as I was captured by pirates. Thankfully I was well treated and back on dry land now to get stuck in to lots of different things.
Lime & Coconut Cake Recipe
I’m on holiday this week so a quick blog post with my recipe for lime and coconut cake – delish!
Bakers Gonna Bake, Bake, Bake…
Just a quick blog post today as up to my elbows in flour for the last few days of shooting my book, B.I.Y. – Bake It Yourself. I promise I’ll add a good Mother’s Day recipe to my blog later in the week though.
