Myself and my boy held a coffee morning to raise some cash for MacMillan Cancer Care – I baked lots of BakingBright goodies but had a few Vegan guests and wanted to make something a little different. This Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Spelt Loaf went down an absolute treat! It was actually the most popular […]

In this heat, I am weary of putting the oven on for too long. In fact, I don’t want to be doing anything in the kitchen for too long, but still want some sort of summery breakfast/dessert to look forward to. So these 15 minute Chia Pots are perfect for a delicious, simple, and QUICK […]

Sitting on my balcony in the May sunshine brought only one thing to mind – what bake would I like to stuff my face with right now? Strawberry Cream Cheese Muffins were the answer. Many people are put off with baking at all in the heat, but these aren’t in the oven for long and […]

These Vegan Cranberry & Pecan Upside Down Cakes are not only for the Vegan crowd. I wanted to make something that I could serve at a dinner party (or any party for that matter) and no one would know whether it was vegan/healthy/indulgent/whatever – a crowd pleaser, something that would go down well with everyone, […]

Everyone loves cheesecake, right? At least everyone I know loves cheesecake. I’m surrounded by cheesecake fiends. However, I’m not a fan of the MASSIVE calorie/sugar/fat content. I needed something that resembled a cheesecake that I could have half of and not feel toooo guilty. Nothing in the shops was inspiring me, so I made my […]

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 […]

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, […]

My Gluten Free Raspberry Swirl Tray Bake has been made for all those incredible and wonderful people who are doing a bake sale for RED NOSE DAY, which is on the 13th March. I wanted to make something that was simple, yet a little different, but, most importantly, totally scrumptious so people will come back […]

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. […]

Happy National Baking Day! I will be very disappointed if you don’t bake SOMETHING today, so as the sun is out in full force, I thought something fruity and summery was in order. Now, this loaf doesn’t taste like the cakey loafs I usually make, as this is made with yogurt instead of butter. It’s […]

Raspberries were on offer. Do I need any other reason to bake an everyday raspberry cake? Well, that and I was having a very civilised tea and cake afternoon with some EastEnd friends and thought I’d try out a new cake recipe. I’m always a little wary about trying cakes out on people at a […]
