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

Pasteils de nata - custard tarts

Pastry week on the Great British Bake Off saw Paull Hollywood set custard tarts as the technical challenge and I thought I would give them a go, seeing as I have never attempted them before! I own Paul's cookbook which has the recipe in, and it can also be found on the GBBO website. These two recipes vary slightly - in the book Paul doesn't make the rough puff pastry but uses shop bought (which I would normally do.) This being a Bake Off challenge though I decided to use the recipe they followed in the tent. The result - delicious buttery pastry filled with golden creamy custard. I ate 3 in one sitting! The tarts are quite fiddly and leaving the pastry to cool between rolling is essential to get the decent lamination and signature swirl on the bottom, so you will need to set aside a good couple of hours in total. As a side note, I found that I had a lot of left over custard - either I didn't make my tarts big enough or the recipe is rather generous with the por...

After Eight minis by Fantasy Cakes

Father Christmas clearly knows me well, as under the tree I had a new cake recipe book waiting; Fantasy Cakes by Angela Romeo and it is such a treat for the eyes to browse, and stomach for the wonderful cakes you could bake. It is a very clever book in that it has the standard cake recipes at the start which are used throughout the book. These so far have been so simple to throw together, which is very handy as I can leave the baby playing for 10 minutes to whip the cake up. You can order the book here , and I highly recommend it if you want to try some beautiful centre pieces or show stoppers. The first cake I tried is the After Eight minis, great as all the family were round to gobble up the end result.  This After Eight recipe took a while to assemble and create the individual elements however they can all be done in advance and individually rather than sitting down for a good couple of hours stretch. I had to alter the recipe slightly as I ran out of self raising fl...

BBC Good Food Caramel Brownies

Another get together with friends has prompted some more baking (whilst the baby is sleeping) and the salted caramel cover recipe from a BBC Good Food issue from a while back caught my eye. I have been storing this recipe waiting for a good excuse to bake it, and I can say (after scoffing a few), these brownies do not disappoint and will be made again. Brownies are very easy to make, the one stumbling point I often find is the temperature of the oven and the time they are baked for - as ovens vary vastly this is quite hard to write into a recipe, but I have a fan assisted fairly new over which bakes quite hot. They key for baking the brownies is checking after the stated time, and they should still be a little liquid in the middle if you want moist squishy squares. Leaving them to cool completely in the tin is also an essential, as if they are cut too early they may still be too liquid. Time to make batter - around 15 minutes Baking time - 35 minutes depending on your oven I...
