Autumn is here in full force (in my neck of the woods, at least) and that means it’s time for my favourite flavour combination of all time: apple and cinnamon! It’s a classic and it’s delicious. The start of autumn always marks my birthday as well; I turned 29 last week, and although I didn’t […]

September is upon us and I don’t know about you, but I’m fully ready for autumn! Summer has never been my favourite season and now that they’re getting hotter (hello, climate change), I’m even less of a fan (no pun intended). One of the big downsides of hot summers: it’s way too hot in my […]

I found some flour again! I had the bright idea to order flour online and I really don’t understand why I didn’t think of that earlier. Anyway. It meant that I was finally able to bake again and I decided to go for something quick and simple. That’s always my go-to when I want to bake […]

These gingerbread cupcakes were a hit! I made them for a birthday party and everybody loved them. I have to say, I was amazed by how incredibly delicious they turned out. I’m not the biggest fan of cupcakes (I’m of the opinion that frosting is highly overrated) so I don’t make them that often, which […]

Oh, I’ve got a good one for you today, guys. This recipe is probably going down as one of my all time favourites.

A few weeks ago, my favourite biscuits were on sale at the supermarket: cinnamon biscuits by a brand called Verkade (not sponsored, although I wish I was). They’re crunchy and sugary and cinnamony – they’re delicious. I don’t often buy cookies or biscuits at the supermarket, because I always figure they’ll be better if I make them […]
Read MoreMy parents have this beautiful hazel in their back garden. It was already there when we moved in when I was 6, but we never paid that much attention to it. I remember one year it gave us a huge harvest, but we barely did anything with it; we just had a humongous bowl full […]

Happy Easter everyone! How was your day? Lots of chocolate, I suppose? What with Easter being a perfect holiday for delicious baked goods, I figured I had to bake something scrumptious this weekend. My mind went immediately to a carrot cake, a bake I’d never made before and seemed perfect for Easter. I think the thought process […]

As I’ve mentioned before, baking has a therapeutic effect on me; it calms me down and destresses me. When I need that kind of baking therapy I usually go for a muffin recipe, and that is what happened last week. I don’t know what it is about muffins, but I find them very calming. That […]
