If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I’m all about a weekend breakfast or brunch, featuring eggs, pancakes, waffles – you name it! I’ve always found it more difficult to come up with weekday breakfasts which I…
Gingerbread Cupcakes
Just before Christmas I made a huge batch of Gingerbread Men using my foolproof recipe linked here. The recipe makes so many biscuits so I thought I’d use them to top a new, Christmassy cupcake. The recipe below makes 12…
Salted Caramel Chocolate Brownies
I never used to like brownies, but as I’ve got older (and started teaching!), it’s become another way of enjoying chocolate in my diet. Especially warmed up with ice cream. Is here a better dessert? I’m not sure there is!…
Halloween Iced Biscuits
It’s the night before Halloween, so I thought I’d share these fun to decorate, melt in the mouth, Halloween biscuits. I don’t usually celebrate Halloween, although this year I’m having a couple of friends over for cocktails (any excuse during…
Gluten Free Marble Cake
Last week, I really fancied making a cake as I don’t often buy gluten free snacks as they’re expensive, and I’d run out of sweet treats! I decided to make a marble cake! I’ve made Chocolate Marble Muffins before, but…
Lemon Meringue Cupcakes
During the past couple of the weeks, when we’ve seen a little more rain and clouds than we are used to, I decided to make the most of the time away from work and bake! I’ve been trying lots of…

Gluten Free Scones
Happy bank holiday! It’s VE day today (and also David Attenborough’s birthday) so I thought I’d share my scone recipe to bake for the occasion. Perfect with jam and clotted cream straight out of the oven with a cup of…
Gluten Free Lemon Tart
The weather lately (despite the odd cloudy day or casual shower) has been beautiful. Despite the pandemic, we have been so fortunate that the sun’s been shining and we’ve had the chance to go out for a walk in the…
Gluten Free Funfetti Cookies
I’ve only recently discovered funfetti – basically fun and confetti involving adding lots of colourful sprinkles in a cake or cookie mixture – and I can’t get enough of them! I used them last week (I think it was last…
Gluten Free Iced Fairy Cakes
As we now have another 3 weeks or so at home, I thought I’d share a bit of a fun bake to make with little ones, or just as a snack for yourself! I love to bake but it seems…
Mini Egg Marshmallow Crispy Cakes
And so here it is, my second recipe for Easter Sunday of 2020, a memorable Easter for unfortunate circumstances. Staying at home definitely isn’t so bad when the weather is this glorious! Here’s my Easter marshmallow crispy cake inspired by…
