So Macarons…not Macaroons(they’re the coconut ones!) Those colourful French miniature crisp and chewy little dainty delights that everyone goes crazy about. Scary right? Well scary for me! I’ve wanted to make them for a while now but I’ve been scared and I’ve always thought that they would be very difficult to make. They…

Simply Oreo Truffles
I wanted to make truffles for my Afternoon Tea as some of the ones I’ve been to give you them. I’ve made them the week before and found these are by far the easiest truffles I’ve made with the least amount of ingredients. They also have the advantage of not being too too messy…
Lemon and Poppy Seed Muffins
I loved the fact these muffins had a glazed lemon on top (well it started off at the bottom) of each muffin. They looked super nice in the original recipe. However mine didn’t exactly turn out like the original one :(. This took a bit longer to make then normal muffins as you have…
Pistachio Cheesecake
I am a real fan of nuts and pistachios are one on my favs but as they are quite pricey they are mainly a treat when baking. These didn’t use as much nuts as I expected only 80g and little extra for the brittle. I love the taste of pistachios, they give off…
My ‘Go To’ Cheese Scones
I have made savoury scones in previous posts. The spicy cheese wholemeal scones and moist greek yoghurt scones. These scones are the latest ones I’ve tried and I used this recipe for my Afternoon Tea as I really liked them, they worked out well. They are quite simple to make and are moist in…
Coconut Sunshine Cake Balls
Baking with coconut isn’t something I usually do. I do like coconut but it’s not particularly something I usually make. This wasn’t really my choice but my dads, he wanted to try this cake out. It contained coconut cream which is something I’ve never used before but I imagined it being this thick…
Soft Carrot Cake Cookies
I have made some carrot cake cookies a while ago, these were eggless and yummy! however, I seen these ones made with egg and I just had to make them. I know that the egg will definitely give it that moist and softness. As you know I love my carrot cake and anything…
Panforte Squares
Panforte Squares are an italian Christmas fruit cake, originating from Siena Italy, it’s traditionally served after a meal with coffee or dessert wine. It’s filled with nuts, dried fruit and has the taste of Christmas. It’s sticky, rich, nutty and taste sooooo amazing and I love it. It’s really addictive. It’s quite simple to make and…
My first Christmas Cake
10/11/14 This is a first for me, I have never made a Christmas Cake even though I have plenty in my time. This was the year for me to make one. I think I’ve been nervous to attempt it, there are so many good ones around and I’m one of these people that like to try…
Mincemeat Scones
Instead of the ever so popular mince pies, I wanted to make something different. I have made two variations before the Mincemeat crumble bars and Mincemeat cookies. I wanted to try something else. I was fancying some scones and thought why don’t I combine the two and I found a recipe for them. I got…
