I know that this probably won’t be the first blog you see featuring Jubilee cakes and it certainly won’t be the last. I think last year’s Royal Wedding and street parties has got people in …
A few years ago I made an alternative Simnel Cake that wasn’t really traditional apart from the inclusion of dried fruit and marzipan. This year after making baked bean tin Christmas Cake I decided to …
These are the type of cakes I love but rarely get to make, hence why I’m such a keen member of Clandestine Cake Club. You can’t complain about getting the opportunity to bake a big …
Through my business I run cake decorating classes for kids but me being me I’m not afraid of doing something different. To me cake decorating isn’t just for girls and doesn’t have to be pretty …
Reuben is a gorgeous little chap who was born back in November. As tradition states I give new mums cakes. Both Maggie’s & Rose’s mums got bite-sized cakes so it was only fair I did the same …
I know that this probably won’t be the first blog you see featuring Jubilee cakes and it certainly won’t be the last. I think last year’s Royal Wedding and street parties has got people in the ceremonial baking mood. After Mr Whippy Cakes I wanted to have another go at patriotic stripy buttercream and have …

As with any national celebration it always brings out the best and often naffest commemorative ware, sometimes with the most tenuous link to the event. I very much believe it’s pointless bemoaning stuff like this and trying to fight it. If you can’t beat them join them. I make no apologies that in the next …

Just like Rachel Khoo and her Parisian window box of herbs I’ve been growing herbs in the garden for a good few years. I love using herbs in cooking, but fresh herbs can be quite expensive to buy so by growing them it means we are saving money and I have my own little patch …

Biscuits are wonderful from the spicy speculoo to the melt-in-the-mouth Cherry Bakewell biscuit. I’ll also never say no to gaudy pink wafer. For many making biscuits was one of the first things they baked as a child. In my classes children love making biscuits. I think it’s the tactile nature of them or the fact …

As a student living in catered halls of residence a staple part of my kit was a toasted sandwich maker. Value bread and plastic cheese, voila hot lunch without having to leave my room. Ah those were the days when I could eat a cheese toastie, packet of Wotsits, Fuse bar and can of coke for …

Through both my business and blog I get to meet some great people and recently I’ve begun to spot a trend. Most of these people turn out to be science (principally Biology) graduates. Seems like us science geeks are quite an entrepreneurial bunch. I met James, who runs Buffalo Brownies, while we were both running our stalls …
