Salt-dough
BBC Good Food Guide This is a brilliant recipe and so easy. You have to be reasonably quick when you're using the dough though as it dries quickly and becomes brittle and difficult to work with. We incorporated it into several of our themes and used it mainly to stamp different objects such as our… Continue reading Salt-dough
Fork Biscuits
Recipe here These are one of the simplest things to bake, and they are delicious too! We used these as our go-to snack when we didn't have any biscuits in the house and couldn't get to a shop due to shielding (2020). One time we used our under the sea animals to press the biscuits… Continue reading Fork Biscuits
Oat and Raisin Cookies
Recipe here This was a good recipe, but the outcome was slightly disappointing. The cookies taste nice, but they are very very sticky. They are also very crumbly which makes eating them a sticky messy venture, but they are a nice treat. I think if I was to make these again I would have a… Continue reading Oat and Raisin Cookies
Chocolate and Orange Marble Cakes with a Nutella centre and Mint and Chocolate Marble Cakes with a White Chocolate centre.
Recipe here These cakes turned out so well! The recipe is intended for a loaf cake, however, we adapted it to make our "Tiger" cakes during our Jungle themed week. I added some orange food colouring and orange essence to the vanilla cake batter to add to the "Tiger" look which was great fun. I… Continue reading Chocolate and Orange Marble Cakes with a Nutella centre and Mint and Chocolate Marble Cakes with a White Chocolate centre.
Hot Cross Buns
Recipe here John really wanted some Hot Cross Buns for Easter day, but we couldn't get out to the shops due to shielding (2020) so I decided to make them. This was the first time I had ever attempted making these and I am quite proud of how they turned out. I added a little… Continue reading Hot Cross Buns
White Chocolate and Raspberry Muffins
Recipe here This is what happens when you can't get to the shops for snacks and the healthy fruit you bought your toddler is going to go off as he has decided they aren't up to scratch. This was a good recipe to use up our extra ingredients and make a tasty snack at the… Continue reading White Chocolate and Raspberry Muffins
Shortbread
Recipe here In our house we love shortbread, however, baking it is not as easy as it looks. This recipe was great and easy to follow, but my shaping skills leave something to be desired. Flat shortbread still tastes great though.
Tiffin
Recipe here This has been my favourite traybake that I've made in a long time. The recipe was easy and simple to follow and when left to set in the fridge overnight it cut into lovely even pieces.
Rocky Road
Recipe here This was a great, simple recipe. I decided to keep it simple and only add raisins and marshmallows to my rocky road, mostly because that was all we had in the house and I couldn't go to the shops due to shielding (2020), but sometimes simpler is better. I didn't dust the slices… Continue reading Rocky Road
