Sourdough raisin bread... 😋 Supporting @homemadeloversss with baking creations at #hlfunbake282 😍 Love this bread - especially earlier prototype (swipe to see) with no cranberries but just raisins (oops, used sultanas, actually, but raisin bread sounds better 🤷‍♀️). Recipe in Bread Ahead book by
L is for Learner (and Lili) 🤣😉 My first letter cake ever, for my birthday. Millefeuille, puff pastry with citrus pastry cream, cream, pea flower mini meringues and fruit. Flowers collected while walking in the beautiful mountains of Andorra on a weekend break. Not a perfect cake but happy - was delish.😋 Have a lovely week!😊🙋‍♀️☀️💕
Donut be sad, have a donut! 😁 A lovely sourdough airfryer one. Joining the doughnut party #hlfunbake277 @homemadeloversss hosted by @aniktriwina 😍 Thank you! Just posted full recipe on the blog (see previous IG post). Guilt-free donuts!! Kind of. 😂 Have a great week! 😊🙋‍♀️💕
Having fun with airfryer doughnuts 😋 Sourdough. Healthier and yummy. Raspberry jam probably still my favourite classic filling. 🍇💕 Semla filling delish. More fillings in full step by step recipe on blog (link in bio then search for airfryer doughnuts). Have a great Sunday and week ahead! 😋🙋‍♀️💕
Fresh, light, fruity, no-bake, easy and delicious!! 😋👍 Fruit jelly cheesecake - a wonderful Spring dessert! Joining the Homemade party @homemadeloversss 😍 Will work on the gelatine to cheesecake layer ratio next time (more gelatine) plus making them neater - they look homemade!!! 😉
Hazelnut and coffee cake - love! 😋🌰☕ Slightly adapted from recipe in 'Il était un cake' book by @iletaitungateau. Used finely chopped chocolate coffee beans and toasted coffee beans from Jordi Roca - to give the slight crunchy texture. Ganache in the hole to die for. Sponge amazing. We were very happy with it.😄👌Have a lovely weekend! ☀️🎉🤗💕

Lovely stuff you guys made from the blog!

Lamingtons
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!
Beautiful seed and nut loaf made by Claudette
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.

Perfect healthy spelt digestive biscuits by Claudette in London. So yummy for tea! :)
Raspberry charlotte
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!’
Brioche rolls
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.
Apple tarte tatin with Chinese five spices and Tamarind with maple syrup caramel
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.
Yummy wholemeal spelt croissants made by Dookes. They look very well-shaped and nicely risen too! Dookes says: for a first attempt I have to say I’m pretty pleased. They certainly pass the taste test and have the seal of approval from Kate!’
