Learn how I decorated my latest cake creation
An easy recipe for a classic Bakewell tart
Can’t believe its already Halloween again, where has the last year gone? After last years brain cake went down so well I thought I’d try something again this year and set my heart on a jack o’lantern themed cake. I did have to buy a lot of new equipment in […]
This Halloween I thought I’d challenge myself and bake something creepy but new, so when I came across How To Cake It’s brain cake recipe I had to give it a go. Here’s the metric adapted recipe I used to make my cake.

This Easter I thought I’d try something different, it ended up being that good I baked it twice. If you got a load of Easter eggs feel free to add them as you wish to this recipe, theres so many ways you could make this your own.
Sorry for being a little quiet lately, its been so busy at work but I’m back with one of my new favourite recipes.

What better recipe to start of my baking blog with than one of my favourite go to Sunday afternoon bakes from former Great British Bake Off winner John Whaite. Perfect anytime of the year this classic taste combination never tasted so good.
