Lemon layer cake. 🍋 I spent the afternoon making this celebration cake, so pleased with it! Even though it’s January it’s come out looking very spring like.

Lemon cake with lemon, limoncello icing, sandwiched with layers of lemon curd. Looking forward to cutting into this beauty. 🥰

I was inspired by one of the decorating techniques from @wiltoncakes - excited to give some more a go.

Happy Sunday x

There is no better cake to make for a spot of weekend baking and no recipe that I have made more from @nigellalawson Cook Eat Repeat.

My contribution to this weeks @sundayafternoonbakingclub Its spiced, richly dark stickiness makes it one of my all time favourite bakes, plus, and this may be one of the most appealing things about it, it gets better the longer you leave it.

What’s your fav cosy winter bake?

Tunis Cake. If you’re not a fan of fruit cake this is a great festive alternative. This is a Mary Berry recipe and I’d really recommend giving it a go. Orange flavoured sponge coated in a thick layer of chocolate ganache. A super pre-Christmas (or frankly anytime) treat 😂

Reindeer Christmas chocolates ARE Christmas to me.

Reindeer Christmas chocolates ARE Christmas to me. Little bites of festive joy. 🎄🎄🎄

Dibbed into my festive archives for this one. Gorgeous double chocolate, velvety smooth truffles covered in even more chocolate and the cutest Rudolph red nose and eyes with pretzel antlers to add the final holiday flourish. Once you’ve made these I’m confident that they’ll become a permanent feature of your Christmas routine. Check out the full recipe on my blog (link in bio.)

Mince pie cookies. Classics or with a twist? How do you like your mince pies?

Mince pies are undoubtedly a Christmas staple; the taste, the aroma and the ritual all make for one of the most traditional seasonal bakes that has truly stood the test of time.
There are 12 days of Christmas after all though, so in my mind this leaves plenty of room for a little creative tinkering and this is where my mince pie shortbread sandwich cookies come in. These represent everything that is gorgeous about the original, I’ve just swapped out the shortcrust for shortbread to make an elegant treat for the festivities.

These are really simple to make, only a handful of ingredients, have a go and let me know what you think.

The recipe is available on my blog (see link in bio)

Happy Sunday

Christmas Treat box. A cheeky pick me up and a stocking filler - put those hands together my friends! Pressies for under a £5 🙌🙌🙌🙌

1 Dec is here and as we’re on a festive rollercoaster and there’s no getting off I thought I’d share my Christmas treat box available in my Etsy shop. (Link in bio)

Bursting with festive crowd pleasers - candy canes, chocolate coins, festive sweeties and a party game too - fab for secret Santa/stocking fillers.

Cranberry muffins. My contribution to @sundayafter

Cranberry muffins. My contribution to @sundayafternoonbakingclub for thanksgiving ideas. Now, being 🇬🇧 I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving so who better to turn to for inspiration than @inagarten and this is her recipe for simple muffins. I thought the cranberries would fit the brief pretty well. 💜 Filled with spice and dried fruit, they are amazing! I’ll be making them again over Christmas 🎄. Such a simple gorgeous treat to make and no mixer required, always a plus!

What’s your favourite cosy bakes?
