Baking & Recipes
What could be better than the smell of home baked bread coming from the oven, or tucking-into freshly made cookies or chocolate brownies. Baking is such an enjoyable and comforting activity in which you can easily involve the children - children love to taking part, never mind the mess, have fun together enjoying these special moments.
What’s more your family or guests will really appreciate your home-baked creations whether bread, cakes or cookies.
We have a selection of some of our favourite baking recipes, easy chocolate cake or a tray of cupcakes, which are sure to impress un-announced guests, as they make the call.

Winter warmers
Now that we have filled our tummies with Christmas delights, time has come to enjoy a little lighter food.
Many people start of the year on a diet or with great intentions – we just think a little sensible eating may provide a nice alternative from the heavy food overload most of us have endured over Christmas. So take a look here for some inspiring and healthy winter warmers, yummy soups, tasty home baked rolls, hearty beef stew and a tasty banana loaf…

Birthday cakes/ Cakes for celebrations
We love to make/create special layer-cakes (lag-kage) for birthday’s or any kind of celebrations - The base is a classic Victoria sponge, divided in two or three, with layers of whipping cream, a choice of fruit. A favourite of ours is fresh strawberry mixed into the cream, smeared in between the layers of the sponge, perhaps adding a thin layer of strawberry jam or a little custard to the cream - what ever takes your fancy. Or if you are a chocolate fan, use our recipe for easy chocolate cake, divide in half and smear on a layer of whipped double cream with strawberries and a chocolate icing on top, using fresh whole strawberries to decorate.
