Blackcurrant curd recipe ... yum yum 😄😋 Easy, optionally vegan. Quite healthy, with pure maple syrup. It's quite powerfully tangy so great to balance out a sponge.

Like a school dinner cake, but better 🤣👍Homemade blackcurrant curd spread on moist buttermilk sponge (both rescued from my freezer). Dessicated coconut and flakes. Simple. Delish. Love.😋💜 Yay for one-layer cakes?! 😄🎉🎊Have a nice hot end of the week! ☀️🙋‍♀️😎

Tortiiiilllas!!! 💃😁 A nice little pile of them. First time making. Very easy. Sourdough discard ones fermented overnight - recipe at the @sourdoughschoolhouse doughnuts workshop. Enjoyed cooking (no oven) and eating.😋 Have a good end of the week! 😊💃☀️🧡

Everyone should have a snowy cake for summer... 😁❄🌨Vegan, healthier, yummy optionally glutenfree with easy homemade blackcurrant curd and silky coconut frosting. Recipe just up on the blog - link in bio then search for snowy vegan cake.

When it gets hot... mini summer pudding!!! 👏😁☀️🍇🍓 Easy, no-bake, healthy and so delish! Typical British dessert made by lining a bowl with bread and filling with fruit! 😋👍Swipe for illustrated recipe - full recipe on the blog; link in bio then search for summer pudding. Serve with natural greek yoghurt or naughty cream. Have a great, not-too-hot end of week and weekend! 😊🙋‍♀️💕

Hello my birthday cake! 🤗😋 Black sesame sponge, matcha frosting, sesame cookie crumbs and raspberries.🍇💚 Was last weekend so now just a distant yummy memory... but 2 slices in the freezer.😄

Lovely stuff you guys made from the blog!

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!’

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 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.

A stunning Gâteau Moka by Kate in Cornwall. The piping is wonderful and she was very pleased with it. She also mentions the cake was delish! :)

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!
