Easter Chocolate Chelsea Buns Recipe

Today I’ve got for you another chocolate overload recipe. My Nanny (not the posh type but the grandmother type) and Mum have passed on a key life skill for any young girl growing up in the savvy modern world. To…

Hot Cross Bun Chocolate Truffles Recipe

Warning there is definitely a chocolate theme to this weeks posts with the lead up to Easter. Of course, there is never a time when it will not be improved with a hint of chocolate but Spring seems like a…

Cocoa Nib and Vanilla Bread Recipe

It’s not that often that you will catch me saying that it would be nice to have a subtle chocolate flavour in anything baked. Madness I know! With Easter coming up I wanted a chocolate hit but nothing too overpowering…

S’mores Filled Croissants Recipe

I am so sorry. Sorry to refinement. Send my condolences to tradition. So long to etiquette.  As you won’t find any in this recipe. When deciding to flavour a basic base recipe whether it be a sponge cake, cupcake, macaron or pastries, the…

Guinness Cake Recipe

In January this year, I visited Ireland for the first time with my brother. We drank some whiskey, we ate lots and we drank some Guinness. Then we drank some more. We even visited the Guinness factory to sample a…

Baked Doughnuts Recipe

Back in September I got my apron on and held a bake sale at work for Macmillan Cancer Support, where I used some of Funkin‘s delicious Passion Fruit purée that I had bought on Amazon to experiment with. I ended up…

Malteser and Toblerone Chocolate Cake Recipe

You’ve never seen a pack of Malteser’s vanish before your very eyes at the cinema than when you are sat next to my dad. He would manage to get through a whole bag before the film had even begun. It’s…

Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Sorry for the delay since my last post, I’ve been crazy busy and was away last weekend in Paris, as you do. Coming up soon will be a guest post from my bro and my scampering report from Paris. Now…

Toffee Popcorn & Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Hope everyone had a great Bank Holiday! Hope you had a good one. I had a great time chilling with friends, catching up with family and visiting the amazing Wookey Hole Caves yesterday. There was even a witch and dinosaurs,…

Peanut Butter, Smoked Bacon and Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

It has been said many times on this blog that I am not refined.  I don’t make delicately decorated cookies or fairy cakes. I make Filthy Oreo Pancakes, Buffalo Chicken Wings and Peanut Butter and Nutella Brownies. So we reached an…

Coconut and Dark Chocolate Madeleines Recipe

Normally when it comes to baking, I can be a bit slapdash. I’m not the most gentle or precise baker. I like things like crumbles, that you can get properly stuck into. But some recipes deserve some respect. Last time,…

Nutella and Peanut Butter Brownies Recipe

We all have them. Those days when you think, why didn’t I just pull my duvet over my head and stay there? I’m lucky that it doesn’t happen that often as I try to be a positive person but sometimes…

Margarita Truffles Recipe

Friday was apparently Margarita Day – I personally don’t need a national holiday to have an excuse to drink tequila. I love it and it loves me (sometimes not so much….)  Not only is Margarita Day a reason to celebrate but on…

Double Stuff Oreo Pancakes Recipe

I blame my local shop for this monster’s creation. Who runs out of Nutella on Pancake Day??? Seriously not even one lone jar to be lovingly taken home to my wonderful flatmates, who would make sure the Nutella was well…
