Baby is obsessed by baking and the only spanner in the works, is that I’m on on the Cambridge plan and can’t eat CAKES! However, we were invited to a friend’s house for a playdate earlier in the week, which gave us a fab opportunity to get our bake on. Baby’s favourite is chocolate cake, so chocolate it was. I …
Baby and I both love baking, so a few days ago we made these yummy chocolate brownies. They were so quick and easy to make, definitely one to do when you haven’t got much time. Being on the Cambridge diet, there were none for me, but Baby and the neighbours enjoyed them! The recipe uses the all in …
I love baking and Baby does too, so last week we made these really quick and east no-bake cookie dough truffles. Baby really enjoyed helping to make them and she can testify that they were very tasty too! Easy no-bake Cookie Dough Truffles Makes 20 small truffles Ingredients 75g butter, softened 110g brown sugar 1 1/2 tsp vanilla 125g …
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #CollectiveBias Wimbledon, one of the most well loved tournaments in the tennis calendar starts today. For me, Wimbledon is typically British and conjures up images of grass courts, sunny days, not to mention the strawberries and cream. I have never been a tennis player, but …
I love baking and don’t need much excuse to don my apron and get started in the kitchen. With a friend’s party on the horizon, I have offered to make some cakes for the children. Baby and I spent some time searching for fun cupcake recipes and here is what we found. Baby picked the melted snowmen, the Santa …
I am a big fan of the Great British Bake Off, in fact two years ago I applied to be on the show. I didn’t get through, Mary’s loss! So I jumped at the chance to take part in the Kaleidoscope Blogger Bake Off. We were given a lovely selection of kitchen ware from the gorgeous Katie Alice range and told to create …
A sad fact of life is that most of us have been touched by cancer, we have either lost someone we love or we know someone who has. Desperately sad and obviously everyone wishes it didn’t happen, but the truth is it does every day. Our family has been more than touched by cancer, we have been devastated time and …
Baby and I were challenged by Persil to make one of their Cook With The Kids recipes. There were sweet and savoury recipes to choose from, but as soon as we saw the Ice Cream Cupcakes, we knew it had to be them! Here is what you will need. Ingredients For the cupcakes 150g self-raising flour 150 softened butter 125g caster …
I LOVE baking, so when I was asked to Bake Something Funny for Money, I was more than happy to agree. Red Nose Day is on Friday 13th March and I am sure we all know about the causes it supports, but did you know just how amazing it is? Over the last 14 Red Nose Days £700,000 has been raised! …
I love baking for people and I have some friends that live too far away for this to be possible. So when I first saw the idea (probably on pinterest!) of baking mixes in jars, I really wanted to put some together. As Christmas is a time of family, food and presents, what a great time to give them a …
At home we always use free range eggs and so we were happy to become part of the Happy Egg Company‘s Blogger Network. We were sent some egg vouchers and a fab recipe to try them out on. Looks like Mr Hubby’s work colleagues are going to be well fed again! Here is how we got on! I did notice that …
We were recently challenged by the lovely people at Salter to make some Gingerbread men. To help us get our bake on they kindly sent us some kitchen equipment from their Heston Blumenthal range. Here is our recipe, which was slightly adapted from one of my old baking books. Baby enjoyed whisking! I loved the high tech scales, I have never seen any like …
This is one of my favourite cakes. O.K, it is quite rustic, but it does look quite special even though it lacks perfect piping. The bonus to this cake is it is not difficult. I make my own Lemon Curd, but you can buy a jar to make it easier. The result is maybe the best cake you’ll ever have, …
This is better than any you can buy in the shops and it is reasonably quick. It’s just the chilling between the layers that takes a bit of time. Shortbread 50g golden caster sugar 150g softened butter 175g plain flour 25g rice flour Caramel 175g butter 175g golden caster sugar 4 tbsp golden syrup 397 ml condensed milk Topping 300g …
This is one of my favourite bakes. I can never believe how little flour goes into it and how amazingly light it is. Also it is very easy! What more could you want?! Little butter to grease 75g plain flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 4 medium eggs 150g caster sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 75g ground almonds …
Some friends came round to visit Baby and I on Monday, so it was a great excuse to bake some cakes! I love carrot cake, but I have never actually made it. I always think it will be such a pain, grating all the carrots, but I had a basic recipe, so decided to give it a go. I did …
Oh rain, rain go away! I hate to state the obvious, but I wish the rain would stop. It is really impacting on us now. I do realise there are people who have been very badly affected by this appalling weather, so I know we are lucky, but with a baby in a pram it is limiting our outdoors time. …
I am a keen baker and was recently sent some flavoured icing sugar and cocoa powder from the lovely people at Sugar and Crumbs. Sugar and Crumbs is a family run business that offers a range of icing sugars, cocoa and sugar paste, in great natural flavours. They have 24 icing sugars, 5 cocoa powders and 15 different sugar pastes. …
I regularly read Katie’s Blog (Mummy Daddy Me) and have been inspired to document our Ordinary Moments, as Katie does. These Ordinary Moments are the everyday, special low key moments, that I want to be etched into my consciousness forever. Today was such an ordinary day, but I was just struck by how lovely it has been. Monday’s are normally …
On Sunday My Hubby, Baby and I headed to Hungerford. I had entered a cake in their bake off competition (it was my first time 😉 ), as it was something on my 2013 Bucket List. I love the idea of baking competitions and have never had the time to do it before, but now I am on maternity leave …
