Baking… baking… baking
So we returned from our weekend away, beautiful sunshine, fabulous family times…. and I have most of this week off! Score! Mr M was however in cake debt with work, whenever it is your birthday… you must bring cake. These days he doesn’t feel that he can just bring a bag of doughnuts like he […]
Mocha Tarts
Man this week has been a busy one! So busy in fact that I have had no time to write this little post about something I made for last weekend! (The cushion post I scheduled a while back, but didn’t want to post it until after we had given them away!) It was Mr M’s […]
Ginger and Chocolate Chunk Brownies
Ok, I admit it. This is a bit of a cheat, and just a variation of the Chocolate Cherry Brownies I made the other week. But, a) they were awesome, b) I didn’t have any dried cherries, and c)….. we were having a bake sale at work again and I fancied making them again. Oh […]
Chocolate Cherry Brownies
Sometimes you crave chocolate. Or something more specific. Chocolate Brownies. I have tried a few recipes over the years, Ben and Jerry’s, random ones involving the use of golden syrup cake, I actually even have quite the soft spot for those Green’s box mixes (shhhh though, it’s a secret!) This one however, is the best. […]
Ginger and Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
Putting vegetables in cake makes it healthy right? Even though it has chocolate in it too? That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Much like every other time I bake… I added a little something extra when making these cakes…….. Ginger! Ginger and Chocolate Chip Cupcakes Recipe – adapted from Red Velvet Chocolate Heartache […]
Chocolate and Lime Meringue Pie
I re-discovered my jar of Sherbert Lemons this week. I bought them from the Warner Bros Studio Tour in May(!) and they have been sat in the spare room, forgotten and abandoned. Thankfully, the poor weather means they didn’t get too sticky, and so I have now almost finished them off! But they got me […]
Hobnob day: Chocolate and Ginger, Cinnamon and Raisin, and Seedy Vegan.
It’s International Homemade Hobnob Celebration day! I spent the majority of the morning in bed reading my Kindle. The benefit (and indeed, the drawback) of the Kindle, is that when you finish one book in a series… you can just download the next one… until you run out of books of course. Eventually however, I […]
“Rolo” Cupcakes
I could be going to see Jon Richardson tonight. Instead, as I couldn’t swap off work, I am watching old episodes of Doctor Who and writing this. I had the inspiration for making these when I finally tidied up my bits and pieces from my trip to London with my Mum, and found my free […]
Chocolate and Caramel Chelsea Buns
So I made these Chelsea Buns a few weeks ago…. They were good, but I think my technique needed a little work, I didn’t prove them long enough before baking, and they didn’t quite increase in size as much as I would have liked. – Note this may also be solved with the sugar issue (see […]
Chocolate and Salted Caramel Pizza
Earlier this week I saw a link to this recipe on Facebook. Ummmm… yum? I had, a long while ago, contemplated to myself about making a dessert pizza, but never taken the plunge. Time was ripe…. and no better time in fact, than Friday evening after a long week at work, to indulge yourself in […]
