Pastry Wrapped Pears & Earl Grey Custard Tart
Halfway through a hectic week getting my boys back to school, Bake Off last night was a very welcome chance for a sit down, feet up and enjoy the baking!
The programme is hugely inspiring everyone to get in the kitchen and bake so if you fancy a custard tart with a twist or fancy a shot at tangling pastry and pears then these recipes with a #StorkTwist might just help you out!
Raspberry Ripple Cake
Fancy a slice of Raspberry Ripple Cake filled with raspberry ripple cheesecake filling?
Oh yes indeed, especially now you know about my Flora Buttery experiment. Don’t worry though if you can’t get hold of Flora Buttery where you are the recipe will work with regular butter instead.
Baking with Flora Buttery
Lets talk margarine and spreads – are you in the butter camp or do you swear by a spread or margarine?
Hands up, I’m not a huge fan of the latter. Depending on the brand I can taste it in baking.
Chocolate & Salted Caramel Bundt Cake
See this cake? I blame you lot….entirely!
I asked you your favourite flavour combinations over on Facebook and this came up time and time again. It had mind altering effects and before I knew it you had brainwashed me and I was baking you this cake.
The Ones to Treat Yourself!
Here are the ones that I would be tempted to make and hide – the less people know you’ve made them the better otherwise they’re gone in no time at all!
Vanilla Slices – yes please! My Nanna taught me to make these when I was 12, boy am I glad she did.
