I made this absolutely yummy pear and frangipane tart a little while ago. I’m not usually a fan of fruit-based puddings, but this was wonderfully sweet, with just the right amount of sharpness. It was the ideal Autumn/ Winter sweet treat. I froze some of mine to make it last longer. Prep time: 30 mins… Continue reading Pear and Frangipane Tart

Cosy Winter Afternoons With Cake
Happy New Year! I hope you’ve all been enjoying the time between Christmas and the end of 2020, and eating your body weight in sweet treats.

Supporting the Homeless with Mince Pies
These almond frangipane mince pies were a real treat. Delightfully festive, with a twist on a traditional favourite, they taste great with a glass of mulled wine (or mulled wine tea). However, what makes them extra- special is that the ingredients were supplied by vegan bakery Poster Bakes, in partnership with homelessness charity The Connection… Continue reading Supporting the Homeless with Mince Pies

Sweet Treats And Sunny Days
It’s lockdown in November and I think we’re all in need of a little bit of comfort. Throwback to sunny days when we could visit coffee shops and eat cake- this picture of a raspberry and cream cake I tried in September has definitely brightened up my day. The Loft, Shefford, Bedfordshire
Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the ideal dessert- the Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake! Perfect for finishing off a meal (or starting one tbh), the Lotus biscuits have a crunchy, caramelised taste which goes well with a creamy cheesecake. And I love cheesecake! The Three Windmills, Newbury
Soft-baked Pretzels
Okay not going to lie, I’ve never really given much thought to pretzels. I predominantly thought they were a savoury snack. So when I received my latest baking box from BakedIn, I was intrigued to find that this month’s bake was going to be soft-baked pretzels. Not only that, but these were sweet, covered in… Continue reading Soft-baked Pretzels
A Most Perfect Rocky Road
I haven’t had a baked treat from outside the home in so long. I loved this- crunchy, rich and ever so chocolatey! Frosts Garden Centre, Woburn Sands
Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies
Have you ever tried Whoopie Pies? I hadn’t either, before yesterday. And now I wonder where they’ve been all my life! As part of a bank holiday weekend project, I made these carrot cake whoopie pies to enjoy. They were so much fun to make- essentially, they’re two biscuits sandwiched together and filled with buttercream… Continue reading Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies
Simply scrumptious scones
I absolutely love afternoon tea (as anyone who follows this blog will know). And what is no afternoon tea complete without? Scones! Now, I feel that scones are one of those foods that everyone has their own recipe for- however there seems to be a huge amount of variations online. Therefore, you need to try… Continue reading Simply scrumptious scones
