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 »

Ginger Spice Cupcakes

We all love the delicious wintery smell & taste of ginger in our house. So I thought I’d have a bash at making a light gingery cupcake. So easy to make and they taste scrummy.

Spicy Wine Soaked Fruit Cake

Although we will eat it, no-one at my house is that keen on the heavy rich fruit cake you have at Christmas time. We’ll all happily tuck into a lighter version, so I thought I’d add a bit of a wintery feel by using a mulled wine soak to the fruit. It’s not as moist … Continue reading »
