Don’t get me wrong, I love baking. But there is a lot of scope for things to go wrong when you have to precisely measure things and involve an oven. I’m definitely a ‘chuck things into a bowl and hope for the best’ kinda gal, so this rocky road recipe is right up my street. …
The recipe is a Mary Berry one- the official queen of baking- so you know it’s going to be good. One of the first cook books I ever used was one of hers; she is the best for those traditional recipes (both sweet and savoury!). Recently, I’ve used this to create a lemon and raspberry …
Drip icing isn’t something new, but it seems to be having a real moment recently. I follow quite a few baking-related Instagram accounts, and many use the drip icing technique to decorate their masterpieces. I love baking, but as it’s only me and Stewart in our household I never really bake big cakes; as much …
It feels like forever since I posted a recipe here, and as I’ve been cooking baked goods a lot recently I thought it was time to share a new recipe that turned out to be a hit. Since my boyfriend started his new job as a police officer, I’ve baked a few things for him …
It definitely is true that your tastes change as you get older. When I was younger, I hated any cakes or bakes that involved bananas; I turned my nose up and banana muffins and banoffee pie was my idea of a nightmare pud. Fast-forward a bit and I can’t get enough of the stuff! Perhaps …
You can probably tell from a lot of the recent baking posts that I’m quite into healthy recipes at the moment! Although my quest to lose a little bit of weight has ended, my baking habits have remained changed. Baking with lashings of butter and sugar is traditional, comforting and delicious, but it’s not to …
I recently tried baking with protein powder again, after giving it a break having not found a recipe that was a real stand-out favourite in my household. It’s so difficult! Perhaps it’s the whey protein that we have, but there’s something about it that completely changes the consistency and texture of the bake, and not …
Strict dieting and restricting your calories is tough, but when you have a sweet tooth and love snacking things get even tougher! I found this recipe on Amy’s Healthy Baking and, after a couple of tries, seem to have it perfected. 108 calories per brownie and they’re not full of ‘crap’… they’re the perfect little …
For a while now, I’ve been experimenting with differing recipes using protein powder. I absolutely adore baking (as you might have guessed), but with a gym-obsessed boyfriend with a sweet-tooth who moans about the amount of sugar and fat I’m tempting him with, I decided to try and find alternative ‘healthier’ recipes. Switching up ingredients …
I have always posted a lot of recipes on this site; most of them sharing my love for baking. Cakes, brownies, biscuits and desserts…they all reflect my sweet-tooth! Apart from a couple of Slimming World recipes, I have never shared any savoury snacks on my blog. Well, this is about to change! This cheesy bacon …
