Almond & Lemon Crunch Top Biscuits
I love citrus flavoured cakes & biscuits. Here’s a really easy & delicious biscuit I made primarily because I wanted to try my lemon yellow crunch sprinkles I received from Jo at www.justbake.co.uk Check out the discount offer at the bottom of this post!!! They would look & taste equally as fab on cupcakes too! … Continue reading
Rice Crispie Cakes
These are always a welcome sight at home and so easy to make. They are, in my opinion, much nicer then the chocolate ones. But you can be the judge of that……. This is pretty much the original 1970’s Kelloggs recipe I think, apart from the extract & not essence bit! … Continue reading
Biscuit Necklaces (perfect for rainy days)
It was Frey’s birthday this week and she wanted a sleepover with a few of her closest friends. I thought she may like a few things to keep them amused (and stop them texting for a few brief moments!) So I asked if she thought they would enjoy decorating some small biscuits to make a … Continue reading
Coconut Scones
I love scones and I love coconut so what not to like with these! This is based on the fab Delia Smith Scone recipe I always use. I recently made some Lime Curd which I found went perfectly with the scones. I’ll add that recipe to the bottom so you can give that a whirl … Continue reading
Easter Cupcakes

Printable recipe here Ingredients 225g self raising flour 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp mixed spice 1 tsp baking powder 115g soft brown sugar 115g soft butter … Continue reading

An incredibly worthwhile cause, I am thrilled to do something to help. I decided that I wanted to make something along the lines of the old teatime favourite … Continue reading
Jammie Dodgers
We were trying out a few photography techniques recently using some digestives as a prop. Gav said Jammie Dodgers would be good to use, firstly as red is always a plus for him in a photo, but secondly (probably most importantly) he loves them! So I reckoned I should have a go at making … Continue reading
Millionaires Mousse Pud
I just lurve millionaires shortbread. If you’re follower on my Facebook page you’ll know that I have a little stack of them as my profile pic! (Facebook link on the right of the page) I decided to turn that concept into more of a dessert and this is the result. It’s a lovely buttery biscuit … Continue reading
Vanilla Genoise sponge
One of the things I wanted to try out this year was a Genoise Sponge. Heard about them but never had a go. When I did I absolutely loved the texture, so light and moreish. I am now a big fan! This is my recipe for a vanilla flavoured sponge. I had chosen to … Continue reading
Heart Centre Cupcakes
I saw this lovely idea a while back and thought they would be great for Valentines Day. I really should have had a look at how they were made, but thought ‘hey it can’t be that hard’! It was just a little bit time consuming with a bit of planning needed but I was … Continue reading
