Recipe here I made this cake out of the blue after seeing an advert for it on facebook. It is brilliant, especially when you don't have all the usual ingredients in the house or if you have allergies you need to think about. This cake has no butter, eggs or milk.
Recipe here We didn't have any snacks in the house and John wanted some biscuits so I decided to make these from what we had in the cupboard and they are really nice. The peanut-butter buttercream part of the recipe makes a lot of filling, probably too much for the number of biscuits the shortbread… Continue reading Chocolate peanut butter shortbread sandwiches.

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
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

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
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.
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
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
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.
