August has been a busy month with both highs and lows, and as a result, I haven’t been very active online (although I did start a TikTok last week – I’m @bookbakeblog on there). I also have done very little baking over the past month, apart from a birthday cake for my boyfriend, but today […]

Spring has arrived! Finally. I can barely recall a year that I’ve been more ready for spring than this year – and I think a lot of people will probably feel the same. Last week, I felt like baking something with fresh, spring-like flavours, and the first thing my mind always goes to in situations like […]

Remember when I made my own lemon curd for the first time a few weeks ago, and then used it in a delicious lemon curd layer cake? I didn’t stop there, because later that week I also ended up making some very tasty lemon curd tarts. They’re very tiny, but no less delicious for it. […]

Last week, when I posted my lemon curd recipe, I already mentioned I’d be posting the recipe for a lemon curd cake soon – and here it is! I made this cake for my birthday a week and a half ago and I can honestly say that it’s one of the best cakes I’ve ever […]

Summer is the perfect time for fruity flavours! I love lemon all year round, but there’s something about the summer that makes me love it just that little bit more. Last week, I felt like baking something lemony and my mind went to a drizzle cake straightaway. A lemon drizzle cake is delicious, but I […]

Who doesn’t love a good muffin? I used to make them all the time and I was under the impression this was still one of my most-baked things, but apparently the last time I baked muffins was in June! So, high time for another muffin recipe. My supermarket had a sale on blueberries last week […]

What do you do when you have an overload of berries that are threatening to go bad? Right, you bake! Or at least, that’s what I do. I bought blueberries on sale at the supermarket, but they were kind of mushy and disappointing, which made them perfect to put in a cake. Somehow, blueberries completely […]
