I never really appreciated an Apple Pie until recent years. It’s something Granny would make an abundance of each year but being a lover of all things chocolate, I usually prefer to opt for desserts more moreish.Read More
Recently someone asked Granny, “what’s your favourite thing to bake?” and without hesitation, she answered with “Shortbread!” I’ve already shared Granny’s infamous Shortbread recipe but inspired by recent events, I thought it was now time to share another variation of the classic Scottish Shortbread – which incidentally is my favourite kind – Highlander Shortbread!Read More
The famous Victoria Sponge! Is there a more iconic cake? Or one which can divide opinion so fiercely. Not sure what I’m talking about? Let me explain…Read More
There’s nothing like some over-ripe bananas to get me in the mood for baking. The go-to recipe is of course Banana Loaf but having made countless loafs in recent months (including one still lurking in my freezer!) it was time to put the bananas to another use. Cue the Banana Cupcakes!Read More
In the world of baking, there is always something on-trend. For years it was cupcakes, then there was cake-pops, followed by more creative bakes such as the cronut. More recently, it’s been biscuits! But not just any biscuits – iced biscuits that resemble works of art have been taking social media by storm, as we all watch those videos of these little masterpieces coming together. Seeing the final masterpieces could have you thinking they are hard to achieve but the amazing new book, The Biscuiteers Book of Iced Gifts takes you right from baking your biscuits, to turning them into your own little works of art.
