I've been wanting to bake 'Poke' cupcakes for ages. I'm not convinced that they are that different from when I've baked extra flavour cupcakes before and let sauce seep in though. Basically, you bake a cupcake as normal and as soon as it ...

Cheese & Bacon Scones
Like most people, we love Bank Holidays in our house. 2 rare days off together (Mr C works every Saturday) mean some precious time spent at home. If I am in the mood for baking and fancy a savoury snack, savoury scones are ...
Walnut and Coffee Battenburg
I'm not for a minute going to suggest that this was an easy cake to assemble. I think that's blatantly obvious from the pictures (taken in the dark, trying to disguise the many lumps and bumps). What I can say about this Coffee & Walnut ...
Passion Fruit & White Chocolate Profiteroles
Choux pastry is a marvel - I love how it comes together in a pan in a huge stodgy ball but by the time it comes out of the oven its light and airy. The profiteroles pictured are the second lot I made yesterday (and pictured in the dark so ...
Hazelnut Ficelle

Caramel & Pecan Fudge

Mini Marzipan Birds’ Nests Tutorial
Even I think these are cute! Tiny mouthfuls of marzipan with a mini egg all disguised as Birds' Nests. For people that are rather fond of grammar, I've had massive arguments with myself about where the apostrophe goes! I've was set the ...
Raspberry, Almond & White Chocolate Loaf Cake – Bake of the Week
Of course, no picnic is complete without a slab of cake so on Saturday morning I got out the Loaf tin and made a Raspberry, White Chocolate and Almond Loaf. I believe you must do rustic for a true picnic so there was no decoration and just ...
Caramel Coconut Traybake
This one took me completely by surprise by how popular it was. I say was because it is long gone. This was definitely one of those 'messing around' recipes that just seemed to work. It started as needing something to give the kids the next ...
Oaty Cookies – Bake of the Week
These are perfect to bake with toddlers. They don't use too many ingredients, not too complicated and they are robust enough that even a toddler can mess around with them and they still turn out. I've never found it easy baking with ...
