I have a huge cake for this week's #BakeoftheWeek from me. Last week was my first major week since re-opening my cake business, Aardvark Cakes. There was slight trepidation - Could I remember how to make cakes? Had I slowed down a lot? ...
Coffee & White Chocolate Bundt Cake
This cake is so versatile - You can up the amount of coffee and even up the amount of cocoa to make it more of a Mocha cake. Just amend the amount of flour you use - i.e. Use 1 tbsp more cocoa, take 1 tbsp flour out. Its a really easy to ...
Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal
I was ultra organised this month and decided ages ago what my recipe would be for the Secret Recipe Club. I was intrigued by this Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal and desperate to try it out. I've talked before about my love for Organic Jumbo oats but ...
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 ...
Reduced Sugar Carrot Cake Cookies
I'm starting a one woman mission to reduce my sugar intake this week. I'll be honest, its not gone too well - I keep forgetting and eating Rainbow Drops. I did remember in time though, when I came to bake this week's #Bakeoftheweek and ...

Spicy Cocoa Mixed Nuts
We are doing a fair bit of travelling this week - Even more than usual. As expected I cannot go anywhere without a bag full of snacks to nibble - I'm even worse when I'm not driving, which happily Mr C is. We are dropping Miss M off in ...
Valentine’s Raspberry Coconut Ice Pops
There's still time to make these even on Valentine's Day itself. They set quicker than other recipes I've made in the past for coconut ice - The ultra sweet snack that is usually found in square pieces. If you don't have time to make the ...
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 ...
Our Date at the First Dates Restaurant
We are addicted to watching First Dates on Channel 4 at the moment. Its a really easy to watch programme with plenty of laughs and aaah moments. Shortly before Christmas when Millie went down to London for England trials, we found ourselves ...
