Belated happy birthday to me, with cake of course! 😄🎉🍰 Really simple but interesting and easy whipped cream frosting with ground freeze-dried raspberries!!! Fresh raspberries and jam inside. Used my own sponge but otherwise followed recipe for Shilpa Uskokovic's Raspberry whipped cream cake (Google to find) - just reduced the sugar (I try 😂) to a little under 3/4 in the frosting. Yummy! 🍇😋🍰Have a lovely week! 🙋‍♀️🌞❤

Strawberry crêpe cake 🍓😋🍓 Sliced the strawberries with a mandolin!👍Simple but effective... and delish. Hope you've had a lovely weekend! 🌞🍓🍰🙋‍♀️❤

Strawberries - 3 ways 😀🍓Homemade strawberries and cream meringue nest - classic 😋, strawberry tart and genoise sponge roll with strawberries and cream, possibly my favourite 🤗🍓❤ Any favourite strawberry treats? 🍓🍓Happy May Day!😊🙋‍♀️❤

Easter rocky road 😋 🐤🐣🍫Easy and addictive.😅 The secret is the marshmallows and roasting the nuts before (and using some good quality chocolate along with some not so good)😊👍

Easter chocolate nostalgia 😂🕊🐣 Next up, leftover chocolate recipe... Hope you've had a lovely weekend! ☀️🙋‍♀️🌷💛

'I'm going to eat that egg!' thought Timmy Rabbit. But can we eat that cute bunny? 🤔 nooo...? 😅🐰🍫 Happy Easter everyone who celebrates!! Have a lovely chocolatey weekend! 🐣🍫💛

Lovely stuff you guys made from the blog!

A fantastic slice of Apple tarte tatin with Chinese 5 spices and Tamarind by Claudette, aka mum! :) It was very nice and using maple syrup is ‘genius’ she reports. The Pink Lady apples used were ‘lovely, juicy and firm’ and cooked on the ring a little over 10 mins. Plus the pastry browned quite quickly so was covered with foil towards the end.

A beautiful orange and rum fruitcake-cake Anglais fruitcake made by Dookes! Looks moist and delicious! Dookes’ comments: ‘seriously good!’ and ‘fantastico’!! You can find the guest post recipe at http://wp.me/p2sQo3-US And Dookes’ cake report is at https://hogriderdookes.wordpress.com/2015/03/18/lilis-biker-cake-made-and-tasted/ on his Hogrider Dookes blog.

Extremely tasty-looking Lamingtons by Annette in New Zealand. Lovely and moist even without cream inside, she reports. So tempting piled up on that pretty plate. Yum!

Lovely brioche rolls made by Annette in New Zealand! ‘They turned out really well thanks, my boys certainly enjoyed them, all gone now!’ she reports. But be careful – she noticed that if you don’t use invert sugar or honey but just caster sugar, you’ll need to add a little extra water.

A delicious seed and nut loaf made by Claudette in London. She reports ‘cannot stop eating it … it is really delicious’ And she used more pumpkin than sunflower seeds and a little chestnut flour too.

Scrumptious orange & rum fruitcake-cake Anglais by Stéphanie in Tahiti ‘This cake is just delicious :) I brought one in the office today and it just vanished in a few minutes! Every one loved it :)’ she reports. Lovely local rum, vanilla, honey!

Perfect healthy spelt digestive biscuits by Claudette in London. So yummy for tea! :)

Yummy wholemeal spelt croissants by Dookes. Very well-shaped and nicely risen too! ‘For a first attempt I have to say I’m pretty pleased. They certainly pass the taste test’ says Dookes.

A fabulous Raspberry charlotte by Kate! Loads of raspberries and great sponge finger casing! The assembly part was actually really easy! and ‘it tasted amazing’ she says, adding it ‘will definitely become a regular pudding in our household!’
