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??

Santa Claus is (or are?!) Coming to Town
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!
Simple Things
No blog from me last week as I was taking it easy after the London Zoo Stampede. Working my socks off at the moment so trying to make the most of the downtime when I can get it. Looking for an extra pair of hands too if you know someone who’ll fit the bill…
Have Your Cake And Eat It
I love London Marathon day – massive congratulations to all my mates who ran today. It’s 12 years since I ran the London Marathon myself so today it’s time to put my money where my mouth is. Thankfully there’s a good few bakers up for it next year too.
Wild Week
It’s no exaggeration to say that I had one of the best days of my life this week. Still pinching myself just thinking about it. And of course there was also cake this week (there’s always cake).
Vegan Carrot Cake
If you’ve got a plant-based person in your life, I’m here with the perfect treat for them – a delicious, vegan carrot cake recipe on the blog this week.
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.
You Shall Go To The Ball!
I was lucky enough to go to the ChildLine 30th Anniversary Ball this week. It was a Bake Off themed event and best of all, all of this year’s Great British Bake Off stars were there too!
Cake Week
My kitchen’s been like a cake factory this week. Not bad timing for the first week of The Great British Bake Off to start again.
A Week With A Twist
I’ve had a very busy week catching up with a lot of good friends. Hugely proud of Martha too, as she launched her first (of many I’m sure) recipe book, Twist.
