Christmas Rocky Road is probably the easiest Christmas themed treat there is going. It’s utterly indulgent and perfect for the chocolate lover. I wanted something that was going to be quick & easy to make, look Christmassay and made me feel naughty eating it. I reckon this Christmas Rocky Road covers all those bases. But […]

Christmas Baking – Christmas Pudding Chocolate Shortbread
December 12, 2014 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Christmas, Cookies, Indulgent
The Christmas baking has begun. I’ve delved in and decided it’s time to get ready, practice, prepare and list all the Christmas Baking that’s to be done over the festive period. I won’t lie, I’ve been thinking up Christmas Baking ideas since the summer, but I’m only just making them, and I couldn’t be happier. […]
Mini Strawberry Scones
November 11, 2014 by bright-admin - in Bites, Indulgent
Scones. A classic, sometimes overlooked (?!) staple beaut of a treat. Making these ‘mini strawberry scones’ means I can have one and not feel guilty. Or (more likely) I can have two and not feel THAT guilty. I’ve popped dried strawberries in them instead of raisins/sultanas just because I thought it would go well with […]
Traditional Bonfire Night Parkin (Wholemeal)
November 11, 2014 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Halloween, Indulgent, Traybake
Traditional Bonfire Night Parkin is a customary bake from Lancashire to celebrate/commiserate (however you want to look at it) Guy Fawkes’ failed attempt at blowing up the houses of parliament – Guy Fawkes was from Lancashire. It’s traditionally eaten on the 5th Nov while watching fireworks. Also, to me, this is the very beginning of […]
Valentine’s Day Cupcakes
February 2, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Cupcake, Dessert, Indulgent, Muffin, Valentines
Say all that mushy stuff and give into consumerism with these Valentine’s Day Cupcakes. Valentine’s day is looming AND one of my best friends had her engagement party last weekend, so I thought it fitting to bake some Valentine’s day cupcakes OR, as I’ve been calling them, “love cakes”. These simple vanilla cupcakes always – […]
Posh Nosh – Apple, Caramel & Chocolate Bark
October 10, 2014 by bright-admin - in Bites, Halloween, Indulgent, Traybake
I thought it was time for a bit of a sophisticated Halloween treat. This looks massively posh, but is so blooming easy to make and will be sure to impress (when actually you’ve hardly done anything….) Apple & Caramel scream autumn/Halloween to me, so if you have a bit of the caramel left over why […]
Halloween Baking Ideas – Spooky Spider Cupcakes
October 10, 2014 by bright-admin - in Cupcake, Halloween, Indulgent, Muffin
Halloween is just around the corner & it’s time to wrack your brain for some Halloween Baking Ideas again… Lots of people I know have recently given birth, have small children or seem to be looking after someone else’s child. CHILDREN CHILDREN CHILDREN. It got me thinking (dear God, not about having one) but about […]
Mocha & White Chocolate Cupcakes (Stuffed With Coffee Cream)
October 10, 2014 by bright-admin - in Cupcake, Indulgent, Muffin
Ohhh Mocha Cupcakes… For AGES I’ve been wanting to put coffee in one of my recipes. I am not a traditional coffee drinker. I’ve never liked it, but I’ve always wanted to. So for the past year or so I’ve been trying to wean myself on it. Stupid really, but I’d like to feel more grown […]
Dark Chocolate & Mint Cookies
September 9, 2014 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Cookies, Indulgent
Dark chocolate and mint. My absolute favourite flavour combination, so much so that I reckon that’s the bulk of my birthday and Christmas presents right there. No one can go wrong. I’ve been wanting to post something with this combination since day one, but usually the choc mint I keep in my fridge never lasts […]
Stupidly Moist Banana & Toblerone Muffins
September 9, 2014 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cupcake, Dessert, Indulgent, Muffin
It’s the end of the summer holiday season and that staple present your dad/sister/cousin/boyfriend brings you back from that exotic destinatation? A Toblerone. Someone was only remembered at the airport on the way home. I jest. (Well, I half jest, as this is often true) BUT let’s look at this positively. Toblerones are well under […]
Henry’s Naughty Peanut Butter & Jelly Cupcakes
July 7, 2014 by bright-admin - in Cupcake, Indulgent, Muffin
Henry- My lovely friend and fellow cast member of “Dracula” celebrated his birthday this week. This boy is OBSESSED with peanut butter. HE HAS HIS OWN BLOG ABOUT IT. (Which is actually rather brilliant & funny: @worldofpb) So I had to make a peanut-butter-something for him. Obvs. Also, a side note, I’ve called these “cupcakes” […]
Nutella Fudge Bites (Treat Day)
June 6, 2014 by bright-admin - in Bites, Indulgent
Ok, there are 3 parts to this post and I feel like I would be cheating you if I didn’t tell you them upfront. 1) I needed a quick ‘impressive’ recipe for a little cocktail party I was holding at my flat. As I didn’t have much time, I suppose I could have just not […]
Dirty & Gooey Chocolate Brownie
May 5, 2014 by bright-admin - in Brownie, Indulgent, Traybake
I had a challenge. My brother’s girlfriend (Mari) was turning 30, so I obviously offered to bake a cake. If you make it to 30, I am willing to TRY and bake anything that your heart desires. I may live to regret saying that. So Mari said she didn’t mind what it was, just something […]
It was my dad’s birthday and I said I’d bake him anything he wanted, anything at all, this was the result. He actually just said ‘Banana and Walnut’. For a moment I thought of bringing over a bowl of chopped bananas and walnut pieces, then quickly realised that that was only funny in my head […]
Peanut Butter & Choc Chip Cookies (with honey roasted peanuts)
July 7, 2014 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Cookies, Indulgent
I had two cravings. Firstly, a honey roasted nut craving. Unusual? Maybe. Pregnant? Definitely not. Secondly, a baking withdrawal ‘craving’. (Ok, not strictly a ‘craving’ but you see where I’m going here….) Unusual? No. Fixable? Most definitely. So these cookies were the outcome. A little cookie note, the longer you leave these babies in the […]
