When I think of oranges I don’t think of them being red, just orange so blood orange are unusual to me. I don’t remember trying blood orange well not that I know of, apparently they are known to be much sweeter then normal oranges but what I’m most fascinates me about them is…

Choux Doughnuts
A long time ago I made profiteroles and I fancied making them again but this time as a big ring. I remember when I made the profiteroles rolls and they didn’t work the first time but had another go and they worked, I couldn’t remember which recipe I used. With any baking that…
Nutella Crunchie cheesecake
I have this addiction to cornflakes and crunchy nut cornflakes, they are so moreish. I love how they are so crispy, yet so light! They have the right amount of crunch and I’m known to snack on them right from the cereal box, like a fat pig, I have no shame! Yes I’m…
Tiramisu truffle balls

Spinach, Feta and Mascarpone Quiche
I haven’t made quiche in a while, I’m not good at making pastry but I cheated, yes I cheated! I brought shop brought short crust, I didn’t want to spend a long time in the kitchen as I was planning to make paella for dinner that evening and no, I wasn’t going to…
Garlic Bread Muffins

Coconut Cups
I made these cups for diwali treats, they are prettier (or maybe more rustic looking ) then your usual Bounty bars. They are lovely tasting cups with the gooey, rich, sweet coconut filling and crisp outer chocolate. These were a bit time consuming to make so just remember to be patient, oh and…
Eggless Chocolate Layered Mousse Cake
I have been meaning to make chocolate mousse cake for such a long time. I’ve always thought it was such a elegant cake/dessert and one of those cake that you would buy in a fancy cake shop. I’m actually not the best at making mousse I always seem to get it wrong, I’ve…
Lemon Blueberry Poke Cake
I have seen many of these ‘Poke’ cake recipes but most of them use condensed milk to fill the poked holes in. I have a feeling this will be too sweet but one day I still want to try it. The poke cake was fun to make as I liked creating the holes…
Vegan Spiced Plum Cake
I was really excited about this cake, the photos looked so appetising. I don’t make much plum cakes and I just really liked the sound of plums in a cake, also the addition of almond flour was another plus point for me I thought it would be a bit like a bakewell in…
