It always puts a smile on my face when I see Christmas themed snacks and desserts and this is where my Christmas Tree Meringues have come from. I’m not particularly great at the decoration side of baking but still wanted that smile factor. This is something all of us can make whatever your skill level. […]

Cheese and Marmite Muffins
November 11, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Christmas, Indulgent, Muffin
I’ve recently become a MARMITE SPECIAL ADVISOR (yep, real thing!). Which basically means I love Marmite so much and want to tell the world about it. The Marmite company (or I like to think of them more like family) have become aware of this and sent me some, guess what, Marmite, hence my new creation […]
Halloween Marble Loaf
October 10, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bread, Halloween, Indulgent, Loaf
Halloween is fast approaching so I thought a little colourful baking was in order, so here’s my Halloween Marble Loaf. I’ve always loved how satisfied I feel after cutting a slice of marble cake. Like you’ve done something really magical while baking, when actually it’s blooming easy and pretty fail safe. I know it looks […]
Coffee & Chocolate Mini Loaves
September 9, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Indulgent, Loaf, Traybake
My boyfriend’s Dad, Ian, is a coffee fiend…and I don’t think he would mind me saying that. So trips back to see his parents in Milton Keynes often inspire some baking. Therefore these, Coffee & Chocolate Mini Loaves, are for Ian. The man who helps with my blog, assists me in anything technical and plies […]
Mini Victoria Sponge Cakes
February 2, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Cupcake, Dessert, Indulgent, Valentines
It’s still feeling summer-y and it’s also my Grandad’s birthday. My Grandad is notoriously picky when it comes to food, he likes simple flavours and nothing too far from the ‘ordinary’. My vegan/gluten/nut free coconut and lime energy balls would not be up his street, but who doesn’t like a classic Victoria sponge? To be […]
Lemon & Lime Olive Oil Mini Muffins
July 7, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cupcake, Free From, Indulgent, Muffin
These Lemon & Lime Olive Oil Mini Muffins also come with a little lemon and lime drizzle – to make them extra special. This is a re-vamped version of an older post (actually one of my first!). I really fancied baking something, but with the weather so warm, I was a little confused with what […]
Rum Soaked Sultana Scones
November 11, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Christmas, Dessert, Indulgent
I asked my Dad what he would like me to bake in the lead up to Christmas and he promptly answered SCONES. I’ve made scones before (Wholemeal Christmas Spice Scones – Mini Strawberry Scones) but he said he wanted the classic fluffy sultana scone with a twist. I thought alcohol was the answer to this […]
Rocky Road (with all the bad stuff)
June 6, 2015 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Dessert, Indulgent, Traybake
I’m off to my friend, Will’s, BBQ and I refuse to go empty handed but I also don’t have much time. These rocky road bars are simple, quick and a massive crowd pleaser. Will is a chocolate fiend, if he’s having a chocolate treat he is having a CHOCOLATE treat. There’s no time for nuts […]
Toffee Crisp Cookies
June 6, 2015 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Cookies, Indulgent
Yep. You read that right. Toffee Crisp Cookies. Hell yeah. These crispy joys of deliciousness came into existence as part of a family treat. We are all headed to a little country cottage for my mums 60th, she loves my wholemeal and peanut butter cookies (click here for the recipe) so I made a ton […]
Blackberry & Yogurt Spelt Cake with a White Choc Drizzle
May 5, 2015 by bright-admin - in Cake, Dessert, Indulgent
Yet another birthday got me baking, this time my Dad. This Blackberry & Yogurt Spelt Cake with a White Choc Drizzle isn’t necessarily the first thing one might think of for a birthday, but my Dad always likes something a little different. He’s not one for a big chocolate mess or a creamy vanilla bomb, […]
Jaffa Muffins
April 4, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cupcake, Indulgent, Muffin
One of my favourite childhood treats were Jaffa Cakes. I say childhood treat, my adulthood enjoys them too. So, I thought I’d do a variation and make some Jaffa muffins. It was also my brothers birthday last week and I didn’t have a moment to bake something for the day, so these are also know […]
Maple Syrup Carrot Cake
April 4, 2015 by bright-admin - in Cake, Indulgent
It was my brother’s girlfriend, Angela’s, birthday and I wanted to make her a cake. I know Carrot Cake is her fave and I thought, what with Easter coming up, it might be quite apt. Not one for being too traditional, I wanted to put a little bit of a spin on it. So was […]
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cake
March 3, 2015 by bright-admin - in Cake, Indulgent
My little brother, Tom, recently moved into a new flat. Instead of the traditional plant pot, I thought I’d bake him a house warming gift. When I suggested this to him, without a moments hesitation he said ‘I’d like a Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cake’. This, coming from my bother who takes at least a […]
Blondies With Hot Fudge Sauce (For Bravo)
January 1, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Brownie, Cake, Indulgent, Traybake
I caved. I’ve been so good this January, but I wanted a treat and, I say, if you’re gonna go bad, go really bad. So here are my (really bad but really good) Blondies With Hot Fudge Sauce. In honesty, I added the hot fudge sauce because I had lots of fudge left over from […]
Classic Christmas Cupcakes
December 12, 2014 by bright-admin - in Christmas, Cupcake, Indulgent, Muffin
I bought REALLY cute Christmas cupcake cases, so I had to use them. There really is no other reason for this post. So my classic Christmas cupcake was born. I always think cupcakes are such great little gifts and always look nice when displayed too. A little Christmas Eve treat for the family?? Enjoy! Ingredients […]
