We’ve found a recipe which is utterly indulgent, very easy and aesthetically adorable. When baking this recipe, we recommend you put on a Christmas movie or your favourite festive soundtrack, have a hot cocoa ready and waiting for you post bake and an abundance of fairy lights on. Just to ramp up the festive spirit for all the Christmassy feels.

Just make sure you make enough so you don’t have a half empty tree by Christmas Eve!

We baked, we put up bunting, we drank (a lot) of Pimms and most importantly we donated. Here are some tips from our bakers, pictures of the big day and a little bit about how Breast Cancer Care is changing lives…

Lent is finally over! Well done to everyone who has abstained from treats for 40 days! What could be better than Carrot Cupcakes? Lately the prettiest baking products have come into stock, including this bohemian cake stand. Pretty baking equipment is the best inspiration to bake all day long, and Easter was the perfect excuse to get in the kitchen! Here’s a simple recipe for you:
