My it’s been a long hard Winter! But at last things are starting to look brighter and the first signs of spring are hitting at the same time as an early Easter. It’s such a joy to see the spring flowers burst through and the first real warm sunshine of the year. It seems like…

Caramel Muffins
When I last visited the supermarket (how is it that a simple trip to the supermarket is now the most exciting part of the week), I spied a sign for a delicious looking caramel muffin in the coffee shop window. Now a caramel muffin sounds like a great idea, why haven’t i thought of that…
Homemade chocolate cookie selection box
Those pretty selection boxes of chocolates or cookies always look so tempting. I think they’re often a little disappointing but they always look like you want to dive in and choose some sweet delight. Since my mission is always to recreate those delicacies that are not available if you’re avoiding certain foods and so a…
Chocolate and Candy Cane Biscuits
I’ve seen a lot of tempting bakes using candy canes this winter. There’s something about the eye catching red and white stripes that really sand out and make these bakes look all the more tempting. I initially had visions of rolling chocolate truffles in crushed up candy canes but sadly the canes were a bit…

How about a delicious crumbly shortbread finger topped with rich smooth biscoff spread and then coated in rich dark chocolate?
Perfect Vanilla and Chocolate Cake
I have a particular nostalgic fondness for vanilla sponge with chocolate buttercream. It may be an unusual combination but it’s one my mum used to make for birthday cakes; I particularly remember a wonderful hedgehog cake decorated with mini chocolate flakes! I do urge you to give it a go, it may be unconventional but…
