The Sourdough adventure begins….
Woo! It was my birthday yesterday, and as such I got a whole lot of love from my friends, and some exciting gifts, including a recipe book, cheese grater, Jane Austen knitting magazines, a Kindle, and this bad boy: I have been wanting to do more bread making for a while, and as a Microbiologist, […]
Mrs M’s Birthday Treats: take 3 – Ginger Wookies
Up until about a week ago, I had never seen Star Wars. I know. Mr M bought me these: …so as part of my birthday stuff for work i decided to make some Wookies. Cue attempts to sound like Chewbacca……and utter failure! Each time I take things into work I try to do some vegan […]
Mrs M’s Birthday Treats: take 2 – Saffron Cake
About a month ago, my friend James brought in some Saffron cakes to work. He loves them, and on a trip back home to Plymouth had come over all overenthusiastic and bought 3, as they don’t generally sell them outside of Devon and Cornwall. He then realised that perhaps 3 was too many, and had […]
Number 100.
I realised something this morning… but more of that later. Another thing I realised is that it’s almost my birthday, and I still haven’t used one of my birthday presents from last year! Look at it… taunting me by still being in it’s wrapper! At first I was freaked out about having to grease and […]
Mrs M’s Birthday Treats: take 1 – Chocolate and Raspberry Butterfly Cakes.
It’s my birthday next week, and as is customary, I must provide cakes for everyone at work…. However, currently I work across 3 sites… 3 lots of people…. 3 lots of cake. For the first lot of cakes, which I took into work with me today, I made vegan gingerbread men (post to follow), vegan […]
Strawberry, Almond, and Lemon Muffins
It’s Mr M’s birthday tomorrow, as is customary in both his workplace and mine, when it’s your birthday…. you bring cakes. Mr M wrote me a list, Bakewells, Chocolate cake, Millionaire’s Shortbread… But I thought I might experiment a bit too…. I had some Strawberries to use up, and Mr M had opened up some […]
A birthday cake for the Birthday Boy!
Mr M is a LEGO fan. In the May the 4th sale, he treated himself to an Ultimate Collectors Edition Imperial Super Star Destroyer…. Mr M and Brother M hard at work. So, to go with his iPad case, I figured I may as well continue on the theme. I took this piece off the […]
Baking with Herman: take 7 – Banoffee Herman.
This post was a bit delayed I’m afraid, this week has been super hectic. It is also going to be the last Herman post for a while, I’ve ran out of inspiration temporarily, and want the freedom to explore making other things. I have enjoyed playing with the Herman recipe, and it has given me […]
Jubilee Party Time!
Phew! What a busy day it was! Most of the preparation was done over the weekend, we made Millionaire’s Shortbread, Coconut Macaroons, Bakewell Tarts, Balmoral Tarts (not that great, bit odd, not sure I’ll make them again), Tea Loaf cake, Parsley Pinwheels, Potato salad…. Oh and this: Union Flag-tastic. Altogether, I reckon, a spread fit […]
The CraftBaketacular: day 6 making the “In the Night Garden” cake.
Ok, it was time to put the plans into action. Time for putting together the cake! As mentioned in the Haahoo post… I can’t make figures. Thankfully I found these, just the right size for a cake, brightly coloured, and of course can be played with after the event too! The request was for a […]
