Benefits

In an attempt to keep the kids happy and quiet I’ve found we spend at least an hour a day in the kitchen. If its not baking its another form of messy play or splashing about with the sink.

At best baking with kids is a stimulating and diverting screen free activity which encourages sensory development and aids knowledge of cause and effect, increases curiosity and is an all round brilliant way to enhance cognitive skills.

At worst its a really messy way to enjoy something yummy- so its win win

For my Mother's Day present this year my husband asked our friend (and old housemate) Liam @pencilcraftsman to draw a picture of me and the girls. It arrived this week and I couldn't love it more! This is 100% the best gift I've ever been given! He's captured the 3 of us perfectly, although Luna is now a bit nostalgic for her 2 front teeth 🤣 Thank you so much Liam and my lovely husband ❤❤❤❤

Small Batch Butterfly Cakes 🧁🦋🦋🦋 Do you ever want to make just a couple of cupcakes? Despite saying I was 'caked out' after all the birthday cakes last week we did quite miss having fresh baked treats in the house 🤣 My 3 year old and I decided to make a tiny batch of cupcakes. Literally just 4, which we then made into butterfly cakes because we also missed buttercream 🤣 Recipe and messy method in my stories and highlights now 🤗

October is a busy birthday month in my family so much so that I've had 4 birthday cakes to make this past week! For a hobby baker it's been a bit of an undertaking, working into the evenings and getting the kids involved as usual but I do absolutely love it. It's a Paw Patrol cake for my nephew, triple white chocolate cake for husband (recipe from @livforcake ) Bueno Chelsea Football cake for my other nephew and a Ben and Holly cake for my besties little boy. I may be a bit caked out now! On a side note it has been one of the reasons I haven't got the babka bun recipe written up yet 🤦🏼‍♀️ So sorry if your waiting on it, it's now at the top of my to do list!

Spiced Chocolate Orange Babka Buns 🍊🍫🍞 Another Week, another #gbbotwitterbakealong and my absolute weakness is fresh bread, especially sweet enriched doughs like these spiced chocolate orange babkas! These feel quite Christmasy in flavour. Layers of chocolate dough and orange spiced dough with with plenty of mixed spice in the chocolate filling and were glazed with a sticky orange juice reduction which I simmered with mulled wine spice! I accidentally ate 3 before they'd completely cooled but oven fresh bread is hard to resist 🤷🏼‍♀️ As much as I miss the kids when they're in school and nursery, it was quite nice to bake these solo this week! You could certainly take these on with older kids who would love twisting and knotting the dough though 😀 In the process of writing up the recipe but if your extra keen to try please drop me a message 😀 EDIT now on the blog

Demi-gorgonzola Tart 🙃🙃🙃 Any Stranger Things fans about? I absolutely love it so when I found a random Stranger Things themed cookbook in my local library I had to check it out! This recipe really tickled me so I've tried my best to recreate it 🤣 Unfortunately the kids are a bit young for the show so thos reference fully went over their heads. We made plenty of cheese and basil savouries to keep the little hands busy. Just roll out a sheet of puff pastry ( or make your own with the recipe on the blog) cut whatever shapes you fancy and sprinkle with plenty of cheese and basil before baking. 15 minutes at 150°C or until the pastry is puffy and the cheese golden 😍
