I have a soft spot for cakes containing vegetables. I’m always intrigued by how they offer such different textures & subtle notes of flavour without being ostentatious. I’m anti fruit cake. I have no objections to cakes which contain fruit as a base ingredient, or which have fruit as a filling or garnish, but the […]

I’ve harped on about kanelbulle since I first met Alex, yet none have ever materialize. In part this was because I already have 2 posts about cinnamon buns in varying guises & I was struggle with how to get away with a 3rd. Alex once asked me if he would ever end up being mentioned […]

I’m late, I’m so late in posting this that I even debated writing this at all. Yet here I am so hopefully Dom will forgive me. The last couple of weeks have been a bit crazy, things are changing at a speed I find hard to comprehend. The company I work for are opening a […]

To say I love cinnamon buns is an understatement! I don’t care what you call them, they’re all good. I only really bake sweet treats which I can post about, I’d written a post about Kanebulle (The traditional Swedish version) back when the blog began, life has been devoid of such homemade delights ever since.

This month Chocolette challenged us to pair chocolate with chilli. How fitting that this week is both Chocolate Week & National Curry Week, it’s also London Cocktail Week but that’s a whole other story. I battled with what to make this month: Chilli Chocolate Fudge Cake with Lime Water Icing, Chocolate, Orange & Chilli Cake, Chilli […]

This month sees the start of The Pink Whisk Challenge, each month bakers will be given a different seasonal ingredient to use as they see fit. October’s challenge is sponsored by Pink Lady Apples, rather unsurprising the ingredient is apples. There’s a juicer, a tote bag, some homemade lemon curd & a Pink Whisk apron […]
