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
Vegan Banoffee Crunch Pie
Every so often I like to mix things up with a vegan recipe. Partly because we have vegan friends and family and partly because I like a challenge. The kids love a banoffee pie and the addition of Indie Bay rock salt pretzel bites take this vegan banoffee pie to the next level. Sweet short crust pastry, rich toffee sauce, fresh banana and a coconut … Continue reading Vegan Banoffee Crunch Pie
Creme Egg Doughnuts
Is it me or has Easter been a looooong time coming this year? I feel like I’ve been secretly hoarding chocolate eggs for months and it is in the top 10 most difficult things ever to not binge-eat them when the kids are in bed. We’ve previously made skinny doughnuts but these are definitely not so skinny… soft baked doughnuts topped with chocolate, icing and … Continue reading Creme Egg Doughnuts
