Ah yes, the week of my birthday, where, once again, friends and family gather to eat their own body weight in cake. There is a definite theme to all my birthday presents and the respective celebrations at which they are received – cake, cake, and more CAKE! Take for example this amazing 3d patisserie card…

Blackcurrant Crumble Mini Muffins
At the moment I’m happy revelling in fresh produce from the garden. Not mine, I hasten to admit; we’re still living in a rented house, and I a vowed a couple of moves back not to spend ages weeding gardens and planting nice things just to move out before they’re ready. Rant over. Last week…
The Sound of Music Lemon Cake Pops – with Handy Hints!
This weekend just gone was largely centred around (another!) rather amazing theme party. This time – Musicals and Theatre. I have another bake to share with you but as time is tight I had to get the shorter one up first! I’d been itching to try out the new cake pop stand that Secret Santa…
Christmas Cupcake and Cake Pop Course – April Delights, Nottingham
Last Sunday I spent a truly delightful afternoon over at April Delights in Bestwood (a few miles north of Nottingham city centre) taking part in a cupcake and cake pop decorating class. I’d paid for the class about 6 months ago through groupon – the price of £23 seemed like a bargain for 4 hours…
Flash Bang! Firework Pinwheel Cookie Pops
Happy bonfire night! Remember, remember the 5th of November… I’m happy to say we got the whole bonfire and fireworks thing out the way on Friday night, leaving me to enjoy a Monday evening curled up on the sofa, munching happily on these pretty cookie pops I made over the weekend. Originally I was going…
Super Strawberry Cake Pops
Did you guess what I made such a mess of last week? Sticky summer strawberries! I had some red sponge cake left in the freezer from my union jack battenburg, saved especially for making cake pops. The recipe – if you could call it that – for cake pops is just cake and buttercream. Super…
Photo Friday
With the exception of my patriotic battenburg, this week has been pretty quiet baking-wise. I’m not quite sure what else has made it so busy – but my suitcase from Hong Kong still lies half unpacked in the middle of the bedroom floor… Sticking to my promise of weekly photo updates – this week I…
Cake-Pop-Aloola
I don’t really think this one needs much introduction; after my previous dalliance with cake pops, it was pretty clear I was to continue my quest into teeny balls of cake! These were actually made a while back – before I’d been able to source some proper Wilton candy melts and lollipop sticks on my shopping…
While The Cat’s Away…
Rob is in Scotland today & tomorrow doing a couple of gigs, and with him gone I did what any girl naturally would with a free weekend… shop! This is just what I bought baking wise, I won’t show the rest – (half in hope that I can sneak it into my wardrobe without Rob…
Cake Pops: An Experiment
Up until last week, I’d only ever had one cake pop. I can remember it well. It was bought into our office by a supplier, attractively wrapped in cellophane, a milk chocolate pop, and just asking to be eaten. I sunk my teeth through the crisp chocolate only to be absolutely horrified. A cake I…
