Making panettone in the middle of October felt a bit strange but it was a necessity to be prepared to host this month’s Fresh From The Oven. Panettone is a traditional Italian Christmas bake, a bready, eggy, buttery, fruity dome usually sold in a pretty cardboard box. My Florentine housemates introduced me to it [Read on...] 
December 1st is World AIDS Day and the UK’s leading HIV charity dedicated to transforming society’s response to HIV, the National AIDS Trust asked me to spread the message amongst keen home bakers about their fundraiser, Bake Aware. I put together these sparkly red ribbon cookies… they remind me of Dorothy’s shoes in the [Read on...]

I have a new lens for my camera. This possibly not the most obvious way to introduce you to it but I am still getting to “know” it and experimenting taking pictures of my latest cake decorating booty seems a good plan! Dr Oetker Shimmer Sugar First up, various Dr Oetker products; this canister [Read on...] 
Orange, yellow, brown leaves crunching under foot, mist in the air, the smell of bonfire smoke and the fizz bang of fireworks. There’s no mistaking autumn has arrived, even if we’ve just had the mildest October in memory. [Read on...] 
We’ve had our dry run for BBC Children in Need 2011! Actually our trick or treaters enjoyed these last week so we’ll have to make some more in time for November 18. [Read on...] 
This is a blast from the past for me; I baked this tart two years ago and somehow it slipped under the radar never managing to be published when quinces were in season for two years in a row. I am pleased to put this right today! [Read on...] 
and in particular the little pies on the cover. Using a 12 hole muffin tin they’re the dimensions of little pork pies and it amazes me it’s never occurred to me before to use the same tin for pies. [Read on...] 
The more evil a pumpkin the better so far as I’m concerned. Outrageously for a blog with the word “cupcake” in the title, unless I’m mistaken, these are the first cupcakes to feature on here in eleven months. I’m fairly ambivalent about cupcakes these days and have agonised with changing the name of the [Read on...] 
Ted and I have spent a lot of time in the kitchen during half term – albeit at the expense of a hideously overflowing in-box that’s going to have to wait until next week. Baking with children I must admit I am enjoying that he’s getting to the age where he can sort of [Read on...] 
Note to self; I must, must, must stock up on pumpkin puree whilst it’s in season. It amazes me something in cans should be “in season” but pumpkin puree is non existent in most supermarkets for ten and a half months of the year and costs a fortune on Amazon. Libby’s is the best [Read on...] 
It’s alright, I have not, incase you were wondering, fallen off the edge of a cliff. I have as those you on Twitter will have gathered, been in the final stages of writing a book! It will be published next summer and I’ll give you all the wonderful details about it in due course. [Read on...]

Since I was making these after a [Read on...]

Now crumble isn’t rocket science but when you’re only four, it’s nice to have a dish that you feel like you’ve made all by yourself. [Read on...] 
Back home I’m more reliant on my local Turkish supermarket but I can never cut into a fresh fig without remembering this moment. [Read on...]

Having missed the first episode of The Great British Bake Off last week, I have been catching up on iPlayer this afternoon and doing some digging around to see who the new Great British Bake Off contestants are. A regular prime time TV appearance in a reality show can be a once in a [Read on...]

Consider today a precursor to my long promised Morphy Richards’ bread maker review to be published tomorrow. I’ve missed many of my favourite blog events lately.
