Jammy Dodgers
Real Jammy Dodgers – with the chewy raspberry caramel filling.
Arctic Roll
Remember these? Memories of childhood tea times, if Arctic Roll was served up in our house it was a great day – I was obviously easily pleased!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Another of our family favourites to share with you – the recipe that is, unfortunately there’s only crumbs left in the tin here!
These chocolate chip cookies are chewy, oaty and soft in the middle. I can promise you one is never enough.
How to Make an Easter Chick
How cute is this little chickie?
He’s made from a creme egg! When I saw these made by Helen at Casa Costello I knew I had to have a menace about and see what I could come up with!
(Do bob over and see more of Helen’s fab creations)
It’s also my first ever foray into video tutorials if you need a bit more than just the photos!
Chocolate Frosted Traybake
Super quick, make it faster than you can say Jack Robinson, no mixer required chocolate traybake. Tastes blooming lovely which is a shame – I promise it will be gone in next to no time too!
I suppose this is a strange one for me to be posting, I’ll hold my hands up, it’s not my recipe, it’s an old American classic that I converted many moons ago.
Homemade Teacakes
Homemade Teacakes – none of this shout ‘whip’ if you find a piece of fruit, lovely toasted slathering with butter is of course essential!
Makes 8 Teacakes

How to make your own toffee apples – great for this time of year, making your own is easy and brilliant fun! Plus who doesn’t love a toffee apple?
Spooky Spectacular Halloween Cake
I thought I’d throw in a decorated Halloween cake to the projects pot this year using a really simple but effective cake decorating technique – brushed royal icing.
If you’d like to have a go at this cake at home (and it’s not half as tricky as it looks) you will need:
How to make a Rainbow Cake
This is a really simple surprise to rustle up for a birthday cake – I made this one for Dylan’s (one of my boys) birthday recently. Having seen, and tasted, a great deal of things the boys are now quite difficult to amaze.
