A year off of blogging!

Hello lovely readers,

So I have been somewhat slack on the blogging front for over a year now, looking back my last post was the epic Malteaser Christmas cake from 2015. Lets just say that life got a little busy in 2016, and I am sure 2017 is going to be equally as manic, but in the past week or so the urge to write has come on strong.

So what did I get up to in my year off? Well, mostly I spent 2016 'adulting' and doing a few of the big exciting life things - firstly we got a puppy! Beautiful Molly, a standard long haired Daschund is now 13 months old, reasonably well trained (unless she is in one of her more stubborn moods) and my little angel. That happened in March 2016, which was also the month we put an offer in on our first home. Fast forward 7 weeks and all the paper work had been signed, money exchanged and keys in our hands. Big life moment. I now have a beautiful new home with a great kitchen for baking and lots of lovely neighbours who I can tempt with cake. Baking had taken a bit of a back seat for the remainder of the year however, as life update number three is that in July I found out we were expecting our first baby. In May we decided the time was right, and shockingly in our first month of 'trying' it happened! This was a fair surprise, but a joyful one at that. Pregnancy has been tough, I have had pretty much every symptom in the book and now I sit at 32 weeks just wanting to meet the little one.

I have decided that whilst I love baking, I am going to use this blog as a bit of a life story to look back on in years to come and hopefully celebrate my successes and laugh at the challenges I know are heading my way. I am sure baking will still heavily feature, although more baby friendly recipes with less sugar may be on the menu.

Lets see what life has to offer in 2017 (17 is my lucky number so hoping it will be a great one!) Xx

Millionaires Shortbread

Shortbread. Caramel. Chocolate. On their own each component of this bake is delicious, and combined gives an opulent rich tea time treat. Again this is another of the family favourites, and my granddad used to bake these regularly so are one of the bakes from my childhood.  This bank holiday weekend I am packing my bags and going to a road trip, all the way to Loch Ness, so these will be providing the sugar highs when I am many hours and miles into the drive. Ingredients: For the shortbread: 125g softened butter 55g caster sugar 180g flour For the caramel: 150g butter 379g tin of condensed milk 100g golden syrup For the topping: 200g milk chocolate Method: Firstly we need to make our shortbread. Preheat the oven to 190C/ 170C fan assisted. I  have used a regular size loaf tin to make my shortbread, and this recipe creates some left overs. Line your tin and put to one side. In a bowl mix together the butter and sugar until they form a soft paste, the...

Giant Ferrero Rocher cake

Hello friends.  A few weeks ago my lovely friend Liz posted a link to me of a lady who had created an awesome giant Ferrero Rocher cake (this is her blog filled with fantastic bakes - http://www.sugarhero.com/) , and then the challenge was born. Liz and her husband Matt had their first child 6 months ago and today marked his Dedication day, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to attempt the bake (and it had the up side of having lots of people there to eat the cake!).  This was really fun to make, but I did it slowly over a week or so and whilst it looks like a Rocher inside it doesn't have a giant hazelnut  and creamy filling, but instead layers of chocolate cake and hazelnut  mousse. The biggest tip I have for you, if you want to try this special bake, is make sure you have some form of cake release in your chocolate sphere moulds. The trickiest part of this creation I found was tempting the delicate shells away from the plastic mo...

Bourbon Chocolate Brownies

There seems to be a bit of a trend at the moment for brownies with all kinds of sweets and biscuits added to the top to give an extra dimension to these absolute classic bakes. Doing the rounds on Instagram which caught my eye were Bourbon brownies, in particular Frances Quinn's version (Former GBBO winner). Her food imagination and photography is always beautiful and well worth checking out. I have used my own brownie recipe which combines cocoa and melted dark chocolate topped with neat rows of Bourbons, making a brownie which perfectly compliments a good cup of tea. Time to get dunking! Ingredients: 220g butter 180g caster sugar 150g light muscovado sugar 50g cocoa powder 50g dark chocolate (70%) 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 eggs 120g plain flour 1 packet of Bourbons - I used 13 ontop of my batter, but you can add more or less depending on how you want your brownies to look. Method: Preheat your oven to 180C/ 160C fan assisted and line a brownie tin. In ...
