At long last I’ve had a chance to bake again. There’s nothing like a few months off to get you craving some kitchen time again, or is that just me??
Snow Day!
An unexpected and rare snow day in London today so the kids and I had the chance to build their first ever snowman. After four years of them singing along to ‘Frozen’, it was about time! It’s been another festive week for us.
Friendship & Remembrance
Remembrance Sunday is always taken seriously in our house. A time to reflect on our own families’ histories and how much we have to be grateful for. It’s also been a week of catching-up with my awesome Bake Off buddies and travelling thousands of years back in time.
Brownie Points
I’ve been earning some Dad and Uncle Brownie Points this week, with a little help from Wicked Uncle too. There’s also a super easy chocolate brownie recipe for you on the blog this week.
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cake
It was National Chocolate Cake Day on Friday so I made this little beauty. I thought it had been a while since I’d posted a recipe so I’m sharing it on this week’s blog.
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…
Life on the Open Road
We’re reluctantly back home today after a fantastic week campervanning through France. It seems I’ve got some incredible Team GB Olympic highlights to catch up on and I’m looking forward to the next series of Bake Off kicking off on Wednesday.
Happy Cake
Settling down with a cup of tea this evening after another busy weekend. I made this mandala cake for a 7th birthday party today and I think it’s my most popular cake yet (certainly on my Instagram!) Some tips on how to make your own on this week’s blog.
How To Make Rainbow Bagels
I was baking with my daughter’s Rainbow troupe this week so what could be better to make than these rainbow bagels? Here’s how to make some of your own.
