I've made quite a few Chocolate Drip Cakes now but have to admit I didn't find them that easy at the start. I don't give up without a fight (and a bit of language) though so thought I would share the tips I've learnt to make a simple rustic ...
bake of the week
Marzipan Melting Moments
The ultimate crowd pleaser and super quick recipe to make - Melting Moments made with a twist using Almond flavour rather than vanilla. I use 3 types of almond flavour in these biscuits/cookies which are brilliant if you are looking for ...
Everton Football Birthday Cake
I really thought I had shared this cake but seems I forgot. Football cakes are so versatile - I really do love making them and setting myself the challenge of each one being that little bit different. An Everton football cake is always ...
Football Cake for Girls
Tara is 8! How has that happened so quickly? I swear she has only just started school and all of a sudden she has grown so tall and can hold a proper conversation. Her love of football is well known around here - no synchro for this one. ...

Homemade Digestive Mummies
I wanted a biscuit that was not too sweet to go with all the icing on these Mummies - I'm determined that this year, my girls won't feel left out at Halloween but will also manage not to eat as much processed, sugary rubbish. Well, that's ...
Garlic & Coriander Yeast Free Naan Bread #GBBOBakeoftheWeek
Its been a few years since I blogged about my Homemade Naan Bread. I still remember the revelation of how much better homemade Naan is than shop bought though. In line with last night's Great British Bake Off, I've decided to update my ...
