Thanks for all the love on my last post! Looks lik Thanks for all the love on my last post! Looks like I’ll have to start sharing a few more baking videos 😊️ Speaking of love, I’ve got the perfect Valentine’s Day recipe coming up for you tomorrow. And yes, it involves these gorgeous figs 😍
How is it February already?! A little throwback to How is it February already?! A little throwback to the first recipe I created for @harrisfarmmarkets last year, and still one of my favourites. Because who doesn’t love chocolate and raspberries? 😍
Farewell 2020. You have challenged us in so many w Farewell 2020. You have challenged us in so many ways, and brought so much grief, heartbreak and loneliness. Yet you have also ironically united the human race, and helped us learn the meaning of gratitude. And on a personal note, you delighted us with the arrival of our sweet little baby, the ultimate silver lining of one of the stormiest years. Welcome 2021, may you be a year of sunshine and rainbows 💕
Wishing everyone a beautiful day 💕 Wishing everyone a beautiful day 💕
I’ve been spending most of my days blissfully cu I’ve been spending most of my days blissfully cuddled up feeding a newborn lately so this festive season has been pretty light on the baking front, but I did manage to squeeze in one batch of our favourite gingerbread cookies this year. Most of them weren’t quite as delicate as the ones pictured here thanks to our little one. Instead we’ve had a batch shaped as dinosaurs, cars and planes, and drizzled with crazy coloured lemon royal icing and covered in sprinkles, but they tasted perfect. And even though it takes double the time baking with a small child, requires a LOT of patience, and a significant amount of gingerbread dough seems to suspiciously go missing every time I turn around, I really do love seeing the sparkle in their eyes and watching their skills develop and creativity blossom. What do you think, yay or nay to baking with kids?
These Gingerbread Mini Bundt Cakes + Lemon Glaze a These Gingerbread Mini Bundt Cakes + Lemon Glaze are divine this time of year (or any time really!), with an intoxicating spicy aroma pairing perfectly with tangy lemon icing. I posted this recipe 4 years ago but decided to give it a face lift recently with new images. And because everyone loves a good ol’ before and after, swipe across for one of the original images. What do you think? 😊
