Another week, another birthday cake! This time, I decided to attempt an ombre cake – chocolate and caramel to be precise. I found the recipe on the BBC Good Food website but modified it slightly for a smaller cake. The ombre effect worked very well and it was an easy recipe to follow.

Just a quick post this week, I made some peach cupcakes for a birthday last week – I was attempting to recreate the Peach Melba cupcakes I made recently, but didn’t have the peach melba icing sugar from last time. I ended up making a vanilla cupcake, with a peach filling, topped with a vanilla frosting. I decorated using some new tools I got at Cake International earlier in the year… read on to see the pretty pictures! Continue reading “Peach Birthday Cupcakes”

Great British Bake Off is back for another series and I couldn’t be happier, I feel as if my life is complete once again (I wish this wasn’t true, haha!) It’s a great show for baking inspiration and seeing all the different flavour combinations the contestants keep up with. This year, I’m going to try and and bake something from each week of the show (setting a big goal there, I only managed one week last year..oops).
First off, we have cake week.. the best week in my opinion (any guesses why?), so I decided to try out the technical bake, Mary’s cherry cake.. Continue reading “Bake Off: Cherry Cake”

This recipe for peach melba cupcakes is extra summery, filled with the sweetness of peach and a hit of raspberry deliciousness all combined in a light, fluffy cupcake. Recipe follows..

The chocolate toothpaste tart recipe is consistently one of the most read posts on my blog, so I thought I’d try the recipe again but with a slight twist. Continue reading “Chocolate Toothpaste Tartlets”
