Chocolate Sponge Cake
Everything is a phase apparently, in baking trends, fashion and of course parenting- I’m really hoping that’s the case as my 2 and a half year old seems to be in a year-long phase of not sleeping through, spilling drinks for fun and attempting to run into traffic. On those days when it seems like the kids’ ‘pain in the bum’ phase is never ending, … Continue reading Chocolate Sponge Cake
Olive Oil Cake
Im so sorry. It’s been a little while since I’ve written up a recipe for the blog so please accept my apologies, particularly to my email subscribers as the Instagram and Facbook pages have been updated pretty regularly. In order to drum up some level of sympathy I’ve decided to make a list of all the things that have caused my 2 year old to … Continue reading Olive Oil Cake

Almond Butter Cookies
They say that with kids everything is a phase. This wasn’t particularly helpful in the sleepless nights phase (we’re now in the 4th year of this between the 2 kids). Nor what I like to refer to as ‘The Limpet phase’ where the kids just want to sit on your hip and cling to you for months on end making every task a one-handed mission. … Continue reading Almond Butter Cookies
Spiced Orange Millionaires Brownies
Ok so this is the time of year when I want to go full Christmas but have to reign myself in slightly. The only thing stopping me going full Mariah in November is the kids who have already started asking if it’s Christmas eve tomorrow. 6 weeks is a lifetime for toddlers so I have to go against all my will and hold fire on … Continue reading Spiced Orange Millionaires Brownies
Neapolitan Viennese Whirls
Viennese whirls are my all time favourite biscuits. Melt in the mouth buttery pieces of heaven. They are however, a bit of a faff. Our basic biscuits are easily whipped up and stand up well against plenty of toddler man-handling but Viennese whirls are a bit more fiddly. Trust me when I say though that they are worth the effort 100 times over. I’ve messed … Continue reading Neapolitan Viennese Whirls
