We love nothing more than creating different and unique versions of classic british sweet treats, so when mentally preparing for the start of GBBO which is, of course, kicking off with cake week, we came up with these adorable victoria sponge macarons!! To capture the idea of the victoria sponge in a macaron, we treated the shells […]
We’ve been swept up along with rest of the world in olympic madness, and of course we had to do some Rio themed baking! So we whipped up this batch of mango coconut and lime cupcakes! We knew we wanted something with a tropical flavour but couldn’t settle on just one or two flavours, so […]
We’re making this cake for someone’s birthday, but the fruity flavours make it perfect for any summery celebration! (we really can find any celebratory excuse for cake, such as “it’s a wednesday”). When tasked with making a cake for someone who “isn’t much of a chocolate person” (we still question whether people that say this […]
We love macarons (who doesn’t?!) so when we decided to whip up a batch today we thought we’d go for a summer appropriate fruit flavour! That right there is macaron porn. We feel that blueberries are pretty underrated as a fruit, well maybe more underused than underrated. We wish far more recipes revolved around these […]
We were going to make a classic madeleine today… but we had no lemons. So we were forced to make something a little more exciting, so opted for this delicious but delicate flavour combination. We went for a combination of earl grey tea and freshly picked lavender from the garden, we think these flavours work […]
Yes, we shall be accepting thank you gifts. So this was a slighty out of the box idea we had, stemming from the fact Hollie had an ice cream maker attachment for the kitchen aid and we LOVE doughnuts. But it worked. Like, it reeeally worked. So we have been waiting for about a year […]
To add to our millionaires shortbread collection, we thought we would continue the trend after the creme egg & oreo, with a s’mores inspired creation! Basically what happened was, we were walking around Sainsbury’s buying a few basic ingredients when we stumbled across MASSIVE marshmallows in the American section. Obviously we thought of s’mores and […]
Some of you may have seen the magical ‘Oreo Churros’ flying around the internet, a chocolate churro with that creamy Oreo filling piped through the middle… But we have honestly not seen them anywhere! Maybe they’re a myth? Or a sick joke someone has invented to play with the Oreo lovers mind. Or maybe, more […]
YAY! For the past couple of weeks we have been blessed with that little bit of sun that we have all been waiting for. And considering about 50% of the posts on this site have been fueled by prosecco, it was about time we included it in a recipe… Finally we can sit outside and maybe […]
So it’s been a while… but today the sun was out (and the prosecco was in… the fridge) and we were dying to get back to baking so we whipped up this delicious and super easy tart. Perfect for eating outside in the late evening sunshine. This past month life took over for us, new […]
Behold! The Oreo Millionaires Shortbread, you saw it here first… And it’s quite possibly the greatest invention ever. We aren’t saying we invented it, it may have been done before (we haven’t seen it), but either way it is incredible! And whoever likes oreos and caramel should make it… So thats everyone right? The base […]
So I’m sure you can guess that we are going through an Easter theme with our baking at the moment, because Easter is coming up and why not celebrate with baking and having fun. So this week we had a go at the classic Hot Cross Bun We wanted to make our Hot Cross Buns […]
So today we wanted to do some baking, because we were bored and what else is there to do? Something quick, something good – brownies? But not just ordinary brownies, how about brownies and blondies rippled together? Lets just stick in some caramel to the mix too! So we have used our recipe for Raspberry Blondies plus […]
At a party, everyone loves a little something to nibble on. Being perfectly honest we like a lot of something to nibble on… So we decided to make some cheese straws. These were a really easy recipe to make, meaning they’re great when you’ve got a lot of baking to do! We made 2 different […]
New year new me? Lets start with some carbs. Who doesn’t love sourdough bread? We’ve been wanting to make sourdough since before we started this blog, we just wanted to make sure we did it properly. And boy, was it worth the wait! To make sourdough you will need to begin with a sourdough starter which […]
So we needed to whip up a quick pud for our second Christmas with the girls. We went for a tart au citron (lemon tart) because we didn’t want anything too rich or stodgy. Plus this was super super quick for us to make during our busy day. Everyone loves a traditional tart, especially a […]
This was one of the later additions to our christmas party buffet. We’d planned on making our fig and ginger frangipane tarts from the beginning, but after making quince jelly last week we knew we needed to use it in a bake of ours. So the quince and pear frangipane was born. To begin with, […]
This recipe is perfect for some last minute, cute, homemade pressies for Christmas! It’s so quick and so easy and tastes like a little bite of heaven… honestly. Literally all you need it do, is whip it up the day before and leave to set over night, either in the fridge – or at this time […]
So, for our Christmas party we decided on baking a Christmas cake alternative which was quicker and yummier, we aren’t huge fans of the traditional fruit cake. We chose to do a christmassy twist on our sticky toffee pudding cake using a hint of orange & cinnamon, covered in a brown sugar buttercream. First bake […]
When we say homemade mince pies we mean we actually made the filling too! And it’s much easier than you’d think. Lots of fruit, sugar & a bit of brandy – we added orange, apple and dried cranberries to ours for an extra kick of flavour. Yes okay its super easy and super yummy to […]
As some of you may remember, in the midst of our Glastonbury excitement we made some Ultimate Rice Crispy Treats, so now in the midst of excitement for christmas we’ve gone and made some festive ones, made with white chocolate and different (christmassy) treats inside. These are just as customisable as our regular rice crispy treats […]
Another preserve to add to our christmas gifts! We have loads of quinces knocking about so what better way to use it than make a lovely jelly to go with some cheese, yum. When you make quince jelly you only use the juice you get from boiling your quinces for a couple of hours and […]
Just making biscuits wasn’t enough for us this christmas, so we set ourself an architectural challenge of constructing an adorable gingerbread house! Now making a gingerbread house is super cute and fun but it’s also much more challenging than we originally thought! So we thought we would make it easier for you by including our template […]
To us, mulled anything is the best drink for over the festive period. These teabags can be used for mulling pretty much whatever you fancy… wine, cider, apple juice (boring/child friendly option). They’re also a lovely idea for a homemade gift! There are a few options for what to use to create your teabag. You can buy […]
