Bread week is always one of my favourites on bake off, I love seeing what the bakers make and getting inspired to bake or invent something new. I really wanted to make a monkey bread too, but ran out of time so settled for the glazed ring donuts. Click here to see how we got on.

Woo hoo, GBBO is back! I’m not sure if I was more excited or if the girls were. Over the summer they sneaked down one night after bedtime and saw Rich and I watching the Bake Off the Professionals, not surprisingly they loved it and started watching it, they then discovered there’s a junior GBBO too. They can’t get enough of it all! We are all looking forward to the new series and trying plenty of new recipes again. So here’s our first technical challenge.

On Sunday we finally got around to having Chloe’s Baptism, 2.5 years later than planned due to covid etc. But it was worth the wait, we had a wonderful weekend with family and Godparents. I wanted to make a really special cake and loved the cake I made for my niece Alice, so I decided to make something similar. Click here to see some more photos of this magical cake.

I was asked to create a cake for one of the Mum’s from Chloe’s old pre-school for her new baby daughters Christening. She had several ideas but was undecided on exactly what she wanted. So I designed a cake based on a few separate ideas that hopefully ticked all the boxes! Click here to see more pics of this gorgeous girly cake.

I nearly always end up giving people cupcakes or homemade goodies as presents. I quite often make a big batch of cupcakes and freeze them if I know I have things coming up where I might need to take a gift. Then I will make 6 or 12 decorations specifically for the event/friend. I love creating personal decorations. Click here to see some more pics of these cute little elephant cupcakes.
