Lockdown Blondies
Or are they brownies? Well they’re blondies that after 10 weeks of lockdown are now mostly brownies… When the salons open they’ll be full blondies again but for the meantime they’re embracing their delicious chocolatey roots. So like many, I have not had the super productive, glow up version of lockdown that I envisioned back in March. Now that the end is vaguely in sight, … Continue reading Lockdown Blondies
Cheesy Garlic Buns
Yes another bun! I do love bread in all its forms but its definitely on the messiest end of the Baking With Kids scale. If home made focaccia is a 10 and going to the shop and buying a doughnut being a 1 (it’s still a messy business with little ones), then these cheesy garlic buns are a solid 9 on the messy scale. But … Continue reading Cheesy Garlic Buns
Spiced Chocolate Orange Babka Buns
I had never heard of babka before I started baking with kids and my eyes were opened to the amazing variety of different cakes and breads from the talented bakers of Instagram. Each year a lovely community of social media bakers take part in a bakealong that runs in line with The Great British Bake Off. You can recreate a bake from the show or … Continue reading Spiced Chocolate Orange Babka Buns
Pumpkin Bread Rolls
My eldest girl lives for Halloween and all things spooky. So as soon as the pumpkins hit the shops we really have to reel her in. From late September she has been angling to go pumpkin picking and now eight out of ten doodles involves a pumpkin headed scarecrow. Her pumpkin love has spread to her sister who has taken to calling her tangerines ‘mini … Continue reading Pumpkin Bread Rolls
Fondant Fancies
I really wanted to try and embrace the summer holidays with sunny optimism, healthy treats and lots of organised fun like some sort of pinterest ninja mum. But as you can see from these fondant fancies and the air of despair wafting around the South Wales area I have failed (on week 2). We were camping the first week of the hols which helped but … Continue reading Fondant Fancies
Lemon Lemon Lemon Cake
Yes that’s a lot of lemons! My eldest is one of those people who can eat lemons like an apple- no flinching at any sourness, thoroughly enjoying it as if it was as sweet as a grape. I’m not one of these lucky few and take my lemons with a good side of cake. This Lemon Lemon Lemon Cake is so named as it’s a … Continue reading Lemon Lemon Lemon Cake
Maple Butter Pecan Traybake
Possibly my favourite traybake ever! I’m definitely a pecan person. I absolutely love them (especially at Christmas, covered in cinnamon sugar) but the kids don’t particularly rate them quite so highly…until this cake. I have recently discovered Moose Maple butter (a blend of maple syrup, butter and pinch of salt) and I couldn’t wait to try it in cake form: so this Maple Butter Pecan … Continue reading Maple Butter Pecan Traybake
