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.

Last weekend I made this yummy eggless vanilla sponge… Continue reading Eggless Sponge Cake
Strawberries and Cream Dream Cake

It was beautifully arranged and the colours made me feel very festive. Looking ahead to a fantastic 2020, full of gorgeous and delicious… Continue reading Christmas Sweet Treats
