I was given a lovely baking book by my colleagues for a previous birthday - 'Modern Baking' by Donna Hay. My colleagues obviously know me very well and my love for baking! I wanted to bake something from it, and believe me, it was a very hard decision as there are endless amazing recipes in … Continue reading Chocolate Swirl Loaf Cake

It was one of my friends birthday recently and, as a fellow chocolate lover, I decided to make her this delicious chocolate fudge cake. It was actually my first time attempting this recipe which I found in my favourite baking book by Jane Hornby... 'What to Bake & How to Bake It'. If you haven't … Continue reading Chocolate Fudge Cake

Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year for baking. There are so many recipes you can adapt to give them a spooky twist!

Last year I baked along with The Great British Bake Off and really enjoyed it. Not only did I get to taste lots of delicious treats, but I learnt a whole range of new skills in the process.

They get stuck to the tin, or they crack, or sometimes the icing just isn't right and it goes quite lumpy. But, I've finally found a recipe … Continue reading Carrot and pecan cake

This is a spring bake inspired by the warmer weather we've been having recently (ignoring the rain!). Without being biased, I think raspberry and white chocolate is possibly one of the best flavour combinations there is. The sharpness of the raspberry perfectly compliments the sweetness of the white chocolate. And here, it's all presented in … Continue reading Raspberry and white chocolate muffins

Before I made these, I was really craving something sweet, but didn't want to be slaving away in the kitchen for hours. These are so quick to make, but so delicious at the same time. And the addition of oats makes them feel semi healthy,... OK, maybe minus the chocolate chunks, but you get the … Continue reading Oaty Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Easter is just round the corner and what better way to start it off than with these little treats. They're one of my favourite things about Easter, and the best part is, they're so simple to make.
