The Ones to Treat Yourself!

Posted on August 16, 2013 by The Pink Whisk

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.

Jam Jam Jam Jam!

Posted on October 20, 2010 by The Pink Whisk

A couple of weeks ago Edd (from Bake Off) and I attended a jam making session hosted by Stoves and the WI in London. Jam is something I’ve only started doing properly this year, it always seemed the height of domesticity to me, which is why I never gave it a go!
