Despite baking lots and running a professional cake company I very rarely, if ever, bake anything bread related. I’ve seen recipes that look and sound incredible but as soon as I see the ingredient ‘yeast‘ I freak out and revert back to a good old brownie or chunky cookie – these are the types of things I can bake with my eyes closed!

Well that’s a mouthful of a title isn’t it! There’s no real name for these cookies but I woke up this morning craving the type of cookies you usually only get in American bakeries. When I went to New York last year I had a cookie that was probably the best cookie I’ve ever eaten. Chunky, generously filled, super chocolatey and incredibly melt-in-the-mouth, I’ve never found any like them since. I had a little nosy online to see what recipes I could find, spotted a few that looked good, then tinkered around a little bit and came up with these […] The post Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe appe ..read more

What’s your favourite go-to bake? For me it’s always a brownie. A classic indulgent brownie with a fudgy consistency, chewy corners and a crispy shell-like top. The type of brownie where you bite into it and your life is instantly improved. Now, I don’t want to over-sell this recipe so I’m going to be conservative and simply say, that these are… THE BEST BROWNIES IN THE WORLD. I know, big statement! But if you make them, then you’ll understand. This recipe is designed so it’s purposely easy to follow. It’s versatile and it’s perfect for any chocolate cravings you may […] The post Best Ever Cho ..read more

Because I’ve mentioned Christmas once already this year I’m going ahead and saying it again whilst also sharing this delicious gingerbread recipe just so you can be all prepared and ready to bake your Christmas treats. It is November too, so it’s not so bad, I suppose. I’m definitely not the type to celebrate Christmas early, but when it comes to food, then I’m all in! Especially when it’s the sweet kind. I’m going to bake so much this year and I cannot wait! Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without Gingerbread, right? I always find it funny that I only ever […] The post How to Make Gingerbread ..read more

What’s your idea of comfort food? Mine is pasta and my lifelong love affair with it shows no sign of slowing down. If anything it just gets stronger and stronger. It’s my go-to food when I have to cook, it’s filling and it *can* be healthy too. Travelling around Italy so much is probably part of the reason why I love it even more so. Whilst on my travels I’ve picked up so many tips about the best way to cook it, and what sauces are the easiest to whip up with it. The possibilities are endless!

Red Velvet cupcakes are my ultimate favourite! I have tried many recipes which I have loved but have now tinkered enough with the ingredients that I am confident to share my own. Often people will ask me what does a Red Velvet cupcake taste like and quite honestly, it’s difficult to explain. They’re always super soft and fluffy, they’re quite intense in flavour, they have a hint of chocolate mostly in the aftertaste, and they go perfectly with a swirl of cream cheese buttercream on top. When I first started baking professionally I had a regular customer who would order […] The post The Perfect ..read more

For someone who’s supposed to blog about baking, I’m sometimes a bit crap at keeping up with posting about the things I do bake. In between completing cake orders, working, and family/home type responsibilities it’s sometimes hard to keep up! So, when I do bake for me, it’s often, something very simple but something very satisfying. Like Strawberry Cobbler! It’s a bit of a cliché but I grew up baking with my Grandma and watching my Mum concoct up recipes. They both taught me most of what I know. Or at least they gave me the basic skills to build […] The post A Simple Strawberry Cobbler Recipe ..read more

There are some incredibly talented bakers and cake decorators in a group I run on Facebook called ‘Hello Cuppies Baking Buddies‘ (cheesy name, I know). Wanting to help share their talent was how these Meet the Baker blog posts started last year. Every person/baker has their own story to tell and they also offer some really useful advice too. It’s incredibly inspiring and I love reading about other people’s backgrounds and reasons for doing what they do. Where it all began… Michelle from Brown Bear Bakery kicked off as the first interviewee back in December. Then I had Dani from […] The post Me ..read more
