How to make your own 3 Tier Chocolate Wedding Cake
This time last year I was going through a pretty busy, stressful time…buying our first house, helping to organise a Festival for 2500-3000 people with work AND bridesmaid duties for my little sisters wedding.

Rose Chocolate Cupcakes
I’ve baked a few batches of cakes recently without too much research into the recipe. And on each occasion I have been disappointed (icing that tastes of butter…no one needs to eat this!).

Easy Lemon Meringue Cupcake Recipe
Easy lemon meringue cupcakes – ideal for beginners! It’s been another long week, but not quite as long as last week felt. I went to visit my nan in hospital at the weekend and it was lovely to see her little smile when she saw me. She seemed much more positive which rubbed off [...]

Doing some general recipe research I came across bubblegum flavoured cupcakes. These really intrigued me so I just had to try them. The flavour sounded so different and appealed to the inner child in me. So I searched the internet to find the bubblegum flavouring. When this arrived in the post I knew what it [...]
