One of my favourite things about Valentine’s Day is after the purgatory of January, it gives you a bit of an excuse to indulge your sweet tooth. This week I’m sharing lots of Valentine’s bakes to make for someone special or even better, to treat yourself!
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.
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.
I’m pretty much going to be baking non-stop between now and Christmas. This week has included a real highlight for me.
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!
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!
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.
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!
