About Me





Hi! I'm Fiona and welcome to my baking blog. Here you will find many different baking recipes to try and share.
I first started baking when I was around 5 years old and was hooked straight away. Although over the years school, Uni, and work got in the way of my hobby, I have recently found a passion for it again and regularly bake for family and friends.
I am still very much a novice baker and I am here to share with you my successes so that you can try them for yourself!
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you enjoy. If you have any ideas or suggestions of recipe or flavor ideas, or if you would like to inquire about placing an order send me a message on here, through email or  Instagram

Baileys Chocolate Birthday Cake

Image
The best part about being able to bake is that you can make anything you want. So for our birthday this year, we really fancied two of our favorite things; Baileys and chocolate! We made a three tier chocolate cake with baileys butter cream, with a dark chocolate drip topped with Lindt chocolates and a little bottle of Baileys. To make this moreish celebration cake, you will need: 190g plain flour 84g unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tsp baking powder 12 tsp salt 4 large eggs 200g granulated sugar 100g light brown sugar 160 ml vegetable oil 2 tsp vanilla extract 240ml buttermilk For the buttercream: 450g Butter 900g icing sugar 2-3tbsp Baileys (depending on how strong you want it to taste, we went with 2 1/2 tbsp) 1tbsp cocoa powder (optional if you want the piped icing to have a slightly different colour) For the drip and decoration: 50 g dark chocolate (plus extra for sprinkling) Lindt chocolates Small bottle of Baileys Method: Preheat the oven t...

How to Make Caramel Shortcake Cupcakes

Image
A very bold statement, but my favorite cake (biscuit?) is definitely the caramel shortcake. I have made these at home before but they can be messy and time consuming especially if you make your own caramel. As I started creating my own cupcakes I thought I would merge my two favorite sweet treats to create the caramel shortcake cupcake! Using light brown sugar instead of the usual caster sugar gives the cake a slightly richer, caramel flavour which goes really well with the chocolate butter cream and caramel centre. To create 12 decadent cupcakes, you will need: 150g margarine (I used Stork) 150g light brown sugar 3 eggs 150g self raising flour 1tsp vanilla extract Filling 12tsp Nestle Carnation Caramel (1 per cupcake) Icing 150g unsalted butter 300g icing sugar 100g milk chocolate of choice (I used Galaxy) 1-2tbsp boiling water (as required) 12 mini caramel shortcakes (you can get these in most supermarkets in the bakery section) Method 1. Line a muffin ...
