Cake Pops For Mother’s Day Or Any Other Day!
I am so lucky to have two beautiful girls. Currently out “spending their book tokens” AKA shopping in TK Maxx to buy Mummy some odd bowls and plates for food styling. They know me so well. Truth be told, I don’t need cards or any gifts from them. Seeing them change and grow is gift […]
Hazelnut Pie Or Hazelnut Tart?
It’s Bonfire Weekend in the UK. It’s a pretty grim one to be honest. As I’m writing this post I’m snuggled in my fleece pyjamas and woolen socks with the heating on full but still feeling cold looking out at the rain. No matter. It is Bonfire Weekend and we shall celebrate in wellies and waterproofs […]
Blackberry Meringue Pie
“There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head. `Very […]
How to Make the Perfect Scone For Afternoon Tea Week

Apple Cobnut and Honey Tart
I had been given some lovely cooking apples and Kentish cobnuts so could not resist the combo with some cinnamon. I loved the crisp filo pastry with the soft frangipane middle. This tart is inspired by Eric Lanlard as there is a similar one in his Tart It Up book. Have you ever used cobnuts? […]
Blueberry and Pecan Frangipanes
I love frangipane based tarts but sometimes I don’t have the time or energy to make pastry so I just pop the frangipane mixture into some loose bottomed tart tins with whatever fruit or nuts I have lying around. If you’re making them for breakfast, sprinkle some oats on top The timing will vary depending […]
My Day As A Chef at PipeDream Restaurant
As some of you may remember I contacted Pipedream Restaurant about being a Chef for a day and holding my very own afternoon tea. Well it all took place last Saturday and here’s an overview….. I was very nervous because I was stepping into the kitchen where Masterchef winner Tim Anderson and his fellow contestants […]
