I wondered how long it would take, after returning to my cake business, before I got involved with a Peppa Pig themed order. (For any Year 6 teachers that are reading, do you like my Subordinate clause sentence? ;-)) Over the years, I made ...

Chocolate Fudge Mini Bundts
I made these as a treat for the girls yesterday. As I was making them, I realised how long it has been since I made Chocolate Fudge - I'm not sure I remember making it since Tara was born! Safe to say, she loved it - I make mine with dark ...
Creme Egg Brownies
The secret to these is freeze your Creme Eggs. It also stops me eating them before I get chance to bake with them too! After the success of my Creme Egg Cheesecake, I decided this year's Creme Egg bake would be Cadbury's Creme Egg ...
Easy Valentine’s Chocolate Cake
I would appear I'm turning all romantic. I had an urge to bake Mr C a chocolate cake earlier in the week and thought I may as well make it into a Valentine's cake while I was there. I've been having a potter through my cake tins and ...
Helwa Tat-Tork – Maltese Nut Fudge
I've made this recipe before and eaten it lots of times. I'll be honest though, I didn't know what it was really called or its origins. When Expedia Travel asked me to take part in their #ExpediaWorldonaplate campaign and feature the ...
20 Minute Christmas Marzipan Mince Palmiers
The truth is, it will probably take longer to write up this recipe than it did to make it. I know you are probably looking at the photos, thinking how unpretty they are but they are emergency mince pies, remember. Its how they taste and ...
Red Velvet Truffles
Its been too long since Bake of the Week last posted, I know. I have very good reason though, we spent last weekend in London with Millie with synchro. She received an invitation the previous weekend as a result of her performance at ...
Toasted Coconut Cupcakes with Orange Buttercream Frosting
Now aren't you yearning for one of these? One of my favourite flavours of buttercream - light and not to claggy (I think that's a word - you know, when it just sits in your mouth). The zesty citrus breaks through the homely toasted coconut ...

Coconut and Almond Macaroons
I feel a little bit sorry for Macaroons at the moment - They seem to have been overlooked by the ever so pretty Macaron, which are so much more involved to prepare. Macaroons are coconutty, light and quick to make. I like an added flavour ...
