But apparently it’s selfish to only make things I like, so having found this recipe online a while ago, someone at work requested I give it a go….. ———————————————————————————————————————– Chocolate Candy Cookies Recipe – taken from Bakerella.com Ingredients 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour […]
On our return from holidays, when it’s our birthday, or if we’re leaving,….. any other occasion, we are required to bring in tasty treats to work for everyone else. From holidays, generally the idea is to bring in things from the holiday destination, however, sometimes the baggage allowance means that this just isn’t all that […]

My favourite kind of cheesecake is the plain kind, I’m not a massive fan of the ones with the fruity goop on top (although our local cafe puts whole strawberries onto the base and then pours on the top and that’s pretty good.) I was flicking through one of my books and came across this […]
Another post of something old, as it is silly o’clock in the morning in Seattle, but my body clock feels that it is time to wake up. Silly jet lag…. I love fancy dress, getting all dressed up as something fun. And another thing I love, along with baking, is crafting. And when it’s crafting […]
