Baking delicious tray bakes, mini bakes and party cakes in my home in Cheshire
(29)

“Boys loved the Eton Mess cakes and I’ve just consumed the lemon meringue one - delish ❤️”

Feedback from my cake testers!

The meringue kisses were fun to make and very easy.

To make your own you need 50g of sugar per egg white, whisk the egg whites with a small pinch of salt until you have stiff peaks, then add the sugar and whisk until it has dissolved. Pipe onto a baking tray with baking parchment. You can be creative with your shapes. Put into a cool oven, around 110 in a fan oven and cook for 20 mins. Turn the oven off and leave the meringues in the oven whilst it cools.

Feeling hungry? Fancy something sweet? I’m looking for testers so if you are passing The Drive in Holmes Chapel and fancy sampling my new recipes let me know and I’ll save you one!

Lemon meringue cake and Eton mess cake. I’m really happy with them.

I have had so much fun making these this morning and think they are beautiful. A miniature loaf, simple sponge topped with piped buttercream using a variety of icing tips.

These would make fabulous favours any a wedding, party bag at a birthday party, a gift to make someone smile or just a treat for you!

You can choose your cake flavour and icing colour.

They are £5 each

Please let me know if you would like to order.

Edit: they’ve all gone After completing my orders for today I have some spares: two 18cm banana loaves with cream cheese frosting at £12 each, four individual banana loaves at £3.50 each and two 18cm chocolate cakes at £9 each available today. Please let know if you would like to have one. Thanks 🧁

Yesterday I made a birthday cake for a young man and the brief was ‘chocolate’. It contained 6 bars of chocolate! A chocolate sponge, a white chocolate buttercream, a chocolate ganache drip and milk chocolate buttercream swirls. It was almost a ‘death by chocolate’ cake.

Chocolate and biscoff was the clear winner in the poll. This week I learned something about biscoff which might help you win a pub quiz one day!

Biscoff is a type of biscuit known as speculoos. A speculoos is from Belgium and made with wheat, candy sugar from sugar beet, fat and cinnamon.

This is probably too much information but the word speculoos is derived from the Latin word speculum meaning mirror. The biscuit is a mirror image of the mould in which it is made.

Did anyone else know this?

Thank you for all the new follows.

I’m sure there is a less clunky way to find the winners of my prize draw. I used an online spinning wheel using numbers 1-36 which represents the order in which you all commented on my post. The winning numbers were 2,17 and 26!

🎉🥳👏🥂🍾Congratulations to Patricia Ann Gordon, Keely Taylor and Fiona Wellman

You’ve won two carrot cakes and two chocolate biscoff cakes for you to share with the friends you tagged.

Please message me to arrange collection

My beautiful niece loved having a mini birthday cake to take home after my daughter’s party. Mini bakes that match the birthday cake and make a lovely change (or addition) to a party cake or even wedding favours.

Deliciouly moist banana and walnut mini loaves. Hopefully not causing anyone flashbacks to covid lockdowns! All this recipe testing isn’t good for my waist! Testing carrot and lemon drizzle today. Photos soon.

Banana and walnut bread with a vanilla frosting. Absolutely delicious! It’s also gluten free but don’t let that put you off!

Mini cinnamon rolls ready to go in the oven

18/08/2024

I’m a little bit in love with my cinnamon rolls! The photo is just before they went in the oven. The dough is so light and has the perfect amount of seeetness. The only problem is stopping my husband eating them all!

14/08/2024

It’s my daughter’s birthday tomorrow and I’ve just finished her birthday cake. I’ve made matching mini loaves for her friends to take home (which leaves the big cake for us!)

I still have a few seats for my fundraiser Supper Club. Enjoy a delicious meal in a relaxed environment knowing that you are helping The Toy Appeal provide a sack of presents to over 10,000 children.

10/11/2023

No Supper Club this weekend so I’ve baked. I love homemade scone with jam and cream. I’m a jam first, then the clotted cream. Which way do you do it?

There are a few place round the table on 25th November. Menu in the comments.

A night off cooking! In Manchester to see ‘I should be so lucky’ with friends and my daughter Katie. It’s fabulously nostalgic and fun.

08/11/2023

Do something a little different on New Year’s Eve. Enjoy delicious home cooked food in the comfort of a home- and there’s no washing up.

Just a few seats left!

07/11/2023

Can anyone help me solve a mystery?

These two lovely platters have been left in my porch and I have no idea where they have come from or even if they are for me!

Very happy to have them!

Big thanks to Rhian Davitt-Jones for inviting me to cater for her party alongside the hog roast from Ibbotsons butchers. It was a fabulous party and my celeriac, Crown Prince and butternut squash chilli served with nachos, guacamole and salsa was really enjoyed.

Message me if you would like me to cater for your event or you would like to come to one of my supper clubs.

01/11/2023
