Red, White & Blue Mini Strawberry Shortcakes #BakeoftheWeek
There's a certain Royal Wedding taking place this Saturday and I thought that my #BakeoftheWeek this week could go a little patriotic! To be honest, having a GB athlete in the house, we quite often get our Union Jacks out so they are never ...
Lemon & Ginger No-Bake Family Cheesecake
Busy family life occasionally leads to no prepared dessert. I know! Bad mother. We always have ice-cream or 'shock horror' bought desserts available but there really is nothing like a homemade cheesecake to soothe the soul. We all need some ...

I've got a tiny bit of advice for you. If you ever get tempted to take a heavy fruit Christmas Cake on a train from one end of the country to the other, think again! This is one well travelled cake - Made as a gift to the family that Millie ...
Mincemeat & Marzipan Wreath #BakeoftheWeek
Please tell me its totally fine to start Christmas baking with a vengeance? I'm loving pottering around the kitchen at the moment. The days are so dark and cold here in Merseyside so my kitchen is a haven with lights & heating on full ...
