Happy New Year!

When I re-started this blog I promised myself I wouldn’t put pressure on blogging or apologise for the length of time between each post, but really, I am sorry it’s been so long since my last post! Life with a 15 month old has been pretty hectic there is barely any time to sit down…… Continue reading Happy New Year!

Christmas Cake

For the last few years I always say I would bake a Christmas cake but for one reason or another I left it too late or never got round to making it. This year with Mabel being a bit older I really want to start some Christmas traditions with her, and not forgetting my husband loves…… Continue reading Christmas Cake

Hello 2015 {Updated}

I’m looking forward to a brand new start this year. 2014 was spent mainly being unwell. I tried to play it down on here but well its not been easy. It didn’t leave me much time for what I love doing dance, making and blogging. I received my annual report from WordPress a couple of days ago and…… Continue reading Hello 2015 {Updated}

Anzac Biscuits

I have very early memories of these biscuits, my Grandma used to make them for me as child and they were one of my favourites. Sadly I was never able to get a copy of the recipe before she passed, and I have spent many years trying to recreate them with not a lot of success.…… Continue reading Anzac Biscuits

Malteser Custard Creams

What’s better than a Custard Cream? A Custard Cream that tastes like Maltesers ! I came across a recipe for malted custard creams and knew I had to adapt it to make it chocolatey. And although biscuits can be a little bit faffy to make at times, its so worth it once your sat with a…… Continue reading Malteser Custard Creams

Cranberry Rock Cakes

I’m pretty sure one of the first things I baked as a kid was rock cakes oh how I loved the experience. The great thing with rock cakes are they are so quick and simple to make, perfect for when you fancy something home-baked but don’t want to spend a long time in the kitchen.…… Continue reading Cranberry Rock Cakes
