On the fifth day of Christmas, Jena’s Tiny Kitchen gave to you Florentines, Coconut Macaroons, Peppermint Pinwheels, Rice Krispie Treats and Snickerdoodle cookies. I’d seen florentines in a multitude of Christmas cookbooks, and never even tried one prior to this recipe. This is a mostly Jamie Oliver recipe, with a few tweaks from Nigella, a…

The Twelve Cookies of Christmas: Macaroons
On the fourth day of Christmas, Jena’s Tiny Kitchen gave to you, Coconut Macaroons, Peppermint Pinwheels, Rice Krispie Treats and Snickerdoodle cookies. I went to one of my best friend’s houses to make this recipe, because I wanted a change of scene, and she had a Madeline tray with my name on it. I realised…
The Twelve Cookies of Christmas: Rice Krispie Treats
On the second day of Christmas, Jena’s Tiny Kitchen gave to you, Rice Krispie Treats and Snickerdoodle cookies…. You get where I am going with this, right? By the twelfth day, this will be a full blown song for you. These Rice Krispie treats are INSANE. I’ve made them four times now, and they do…
The Twelve Cookies of Christmas: Brown Butter Snickerdoodles
On the first day of Christmas, Jena’s Tiny Kitchen gave to you Snickerdoodle cookies. I have no idea why these cookies are called Snickerdoodles. They don’t have anything to do with a Snickers bar, nor do they contain anything that remotely reminds you of a Snickers bar. But the name is fun to say, and…
Orange Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
My final GBBO-inspired bake comes in the form of a chocolate cake. While the bakers had to make a chocolate layer cake, I opted out of the layers in order to bring this delicious, moist, secretly vegan chocolate cake. This cake came about after someone asked me if I could make a dairy free cake…
White Chocolate Pistachio Tartlets
So, Bake Off is over, but I still have two GBBO-inspired bakes to share on the blog. Life is always hectic in November, and this year hasn’t been any different. But, I did get there in the end. I’ve done both bakes, and will post the Finale-inspired bake in the next few days. But for…
Fig & Honey Cake
I’m still working on a million and one recipes to use my Heilala Vanilla Extracts in, and I also received my copy of the e-recipe book created by Cloudy Kitchen. They 10 recipes that Erin has whipped up all look delicious, I just haven’t got round to making any of them yet. It’s been a…
Chocolate Chip Challah Rolls
Prior to this moment, I’ve never made or eaten challah. However, I follow Mandy on Instagram, and her challah always look amazing. For those who don’t know (because I didn’t), challah is a special bread in Jewish cuisine that is eaten on special occasions and holidays. Now I’m telling you this because it feeds well…
Vanilla Latte Meringue Layer Cake
Week 6 of the Great British Bake Off saw Dessert Week – which meant a step away from traditional cakes, and a look at more luxurious techniques and styles. The signature challenge was a meringue layer cake, the technical was verrines (layered panna cotta type things) and the showstopper was a dessert bombe. I opted…
Pink Champagne Layer Cake
It was 1920s week on the Great British Bake Off, which meant custard tarts for their signature bake, beignet souffles for the technical and prohibition cakes for the showstopper challenge. And for the first time so far, I went for the showstopper challenge. Now, I must confess, my cake does not look anywhere near as…
No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake
Sometimes I make something, and everyone who tries it loves it. This cheesecake was one of those. I took it to the office for our monthly birthday party day, on the same day that I took the Chocolate Raspberry Doughnuts, and it was devoured. I figured, given that it was so popular – and it…
Baked Chocolate Raspberry Doughnuts
This week, during Great British Bake Off’s Dairy Week, the contestants had to make a cake using cultured dairy (buttermilk, sour cream, yoghurt, etc) for their Signature Bake. While the contestants all made their cakes in Bundt tins, I did not. I made doughnuts. Baked doughnuts are much more cake-like than the fried varieties, so…
