September Bake It! Club
It’s that time of month again where we get to see your yummy creations! I hope you all enjoyed the apple crumble cupcake recipe – it’s certainly become a favourite in our house and is great for using up the glut of apples at this time of year. If you haven’t got round to baking...
Wedding Cakes
Here are a few photos of a couple of wedding cakes I have made recently. The first was for some good friends of ours, which made me extremely nervous as we were invited to the wedding and I had fears of the cake tasting horrible or collapsing! It was really nice to do something a...

Big Bakeoff winner!
Last month I decided to enter English Mum’s Big Bakeoff with my Summer strawberry cupcakes. I watched, with my mouth watering, as the entries poured in. There were some truly wonderful looking cakes and cupcakes, and some brilliant children’s entries. A few weeks back, whilst I was away caring for my Stepmum, I was delighted...
Baby Shower Giant Cupcake
At the weekend it was my sister’s baby shower. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it as I am suffering from a nasty cold and thought it best not to share my germs! However, I did send Dale, the girls and this giant cupcake. It is a vanilla cupcake decorated with vanilla buttercream and sugar paste decorations....
Who makes your birthday cake?
A while ago I was tagged by the lovely Julie at Ice Maiden Cakes, who posed the question to fellow cake makers “Who makes your birthday cake?” Baking has long been a tradition in our family with my Mum, Grandma and Great Grandma all being fabulous bakers and that is certainly where I got my...

Royal Icing flowers
This is a sponsored post A while a go I received some different types of sugar from Tate & Lyle to try out when I was baking so I’m back with an update. I baked my cakes with the caster sugar and they were just as delicious as usual. If anything I would say that...

Summer strawberry cupcakes
I love all the fruit that is around this time of year and strawberries are my absolute favourite. I’ve wanted to try these cupcakes for a while so when I saw English Mum was hosting a Big Bakeoff, I thought I’d use them as my entry. These are vanilla cupcakes with a fresh strawberry in...
Strawberry scone cake
This is a sponsored post With long sunny days, Wimbledon on the tv and strawberries half price in the supermarkets, what could be better? How about a nice dollop of clotted cream? In our family we love nothing better than than afternoon tea with scones piled high with strawberry jam and clotted cream. So I...
