Almond Slice

May 8, 2017 By Amy 4 Comments

A sure sign of a recipe being a winner is when half of it is gone before I even manage to get photos! I knew the other half would like Almond Slice, given his love for Mr Kipling Bakewell Slices I hadn’t anticipated making two batches of them within a few days.

Melting Moments

Another day and another classic recipe. When it comes to baking, it’s easy to get swept up in the many recipes of the internet but I’m slowly learning that often, these recipes aren’t all that they’re cracked up to be. Melting Moments biscuits however are a recipe that I promise you’ll love!

Kinder Egg Brownies

April 11, 2017 By Amy 4 Comments

They’re a literal obsession in our house. Requested every day after nursery as a ‘special treat’, the number one choice of Easter Egg this year and even the most-viewed videos on Youtube. I just can’t seem to escape Kinder Eggs! So instead of resenting the amount of money I spend on these little surprise eggs and cursing the number of toys I stand on over the course of a day, I decided to make the most of their alluring taste and turn them into Kinder Egg Brownies!

Easter Rice Crispy Squares

When it comes to Easter Baking there’s few things that can beat a Hot Cross Bun but in their ease to make, tray bakes are a good competitor. Last year we shared our Maltesers Slice recipe with a Easter twist and this year we’ve done it again with these Easter themed Rice Crispy Squares.

Banana Loaf

February 13, 2017 By Amy 7 Comments

Whenever the kids ask me, “what’s your favourite fruit, Mummy?” the answer will always be, bananas! I’ve always been a fan of bananas, in fact anything banana – banana sweeties, banana puddings, banana hair products; in fact I currently have a banana shower gel stood in my shower. So it’s really no surprise that one of my favourite bakes from Granny is her Banana Loaf.Read More

Raspberry Cupcakes

It’s getting to that point in winter when I’m over the cold weather and craving some warmer sunshine. Unfortunately we live in Scotland and with a forecast of snow later today, those days are a long way off yet! Thankfully though we can always count on cupcakes to brighten up our days and these Raspberry Cupcakes from the lovely Kirsty at Winnettes are the perfect summery treat to chase off the snow-induced winter-blues!

Walnut Biscuits

I’ve mentioned Granny’s little book of recipes before; filled to the brim with all her classic recipes – from shortbread, to pancakes, it houses all Granny’s biggest crowd pleasers. Walnut Biscuits are no exception. Lovely little biscuits with a nice wee bit of history behind them.
