Petite and very petite macaron treats. Finally making some again after a year or two and remembering it's fun once you know how, even when imperfect.😁👍Joining the #hlfunbake168 petite party - thanks @homemadeloversss and the host @anawati_utomo and friends! 💕 - - - Recipe on the blog, link in bio then go to basics section, meringue and macarons subsection - Italian meringue shells. Naturally glutenfree. The filled ones are dulce de leche with butter and a little sea salt. Very yummy.😋 The others are off to the freezer for future decorative use. If only I could put myself in the freezer. Stay safe and well.🙋‍♀️💕 - - - #homemademacarons #dulcedelechemacarons #macaronsofinstagram #italianmacaronss #macaronstagram #macaronslover #macaronsdulcedeleche #macaronshells #hlfunbake #hlpetite #homemadelovers #frenchpatisserie #patisseriefrancaise #pâtisserie #frenchcookies #glutenfreecookies #naturallyglutenfree #groundalmonds #italianmeringue #cookiestagram #dulcedeleche #sweetandsaltytreats #foodpics #foodies #eat #teatimetreats #cakedecorations #decorativemacarons splashed with a little edible bronze or gold powder off a paintbrush, before baking. #colourfulmacarons 😍💛

Time for elevenses here! Or morning teatime. 😁😋 Biscuits (aka cookies) - the invented jam puffs and mini jam plus cream horns are made with homemade inverted puff pastry - very simple to put together (but metal cones are needed for the horns). The custard creams are gluten free from the Honeybuns recipe book - my adaptation includes having less sugar and half replaced by pure maple syrup and some polenta replaced with more tapioca flour. I also prefer them without the custard cream - absolutely addictive!!! Hurray for comfort food! 😉😋😋💕 Inverted puff pastry recipe on the blog, link in bio then go to basics section, pastry is your friend. You can find the custard creams online recipe by googling 'custard creams honeybuns'. The interesting thing to do is replace some flour with custard powder in your biscuits! Yum! - - - #homemadebiscuits #puffpastrybiscuits #puffpastrycookies #custardcreams #homemadecustardcreams #glutenfreecustardcreams #jampuffs #minicreamhorns #creamhorns #cookiestagram #instacookies #cookiestagram🍪 #invertedpuffpastry #jam #custardpowder #whippedcream #plateofjoy #plateofhappiness #teatime #foodies #eat #cookies🍪 #cookiesofinstagram #foodpic #sweetsnack #teatimetreats #nomnomnom 😁😋💕

Very difficult to practise social distancing from this cake. Had a craving for sweet heavenly decadent funfetti vanilla cake. Tada! 🤗 After 12 days strict quarantine at home along with everyone else in Spain and many countries, we all deserve this. It's mini - 2/3 of original quantities in a 12cm diametre cake ring. Recipe in the blog archives, link in bio then search for birthday cake. Adapted from Tosi recipe to be slightly healthier with lower sugar and maple syrup crunchy cookie crumb in and on the frosting. My funfetti this time were cheap 'subtle' ones, used light olive oil, and milk with a teaspoon of lemon instead of buttermilk - had to improvise a bit.😉 - - - #homemadecake #ilovethiscake #birthdaylayercake based on #christinatosirecipe #momofokucake just slightly healthier #maplesyrup #cookiecrumb #funfetti #funfetticake #vanillafrosting #layercake #comfortfood #morecakeplease #sliceofcakeanyone ? #moistvanillacake #foodies #eatcakeeveryday #foodphotography #foodphotos #cakestagram #instacake #funfettilayercake #lovecakes #cakesofinsta #howtokeepcalm #keepcalmandeatcake #noonecomesbetweenmeandmyfood 😅 Hope you're all safe and well.🙋‍♀️💕0

Lovely stuff you guys made from the blog!

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

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!’

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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!

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!
