Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Caramel cupcakes

    • Melanie on February 19, 2012

      These were so amazingly delicious! I made mini cupcakes and used canned caramel top n fill instead of dulce de leche. I slightly changed the icing and don’t remember exact quantities but simply used butter, icing sugar and the leftover caramel. Yum.

  • Chocolate fondant cupcakes

    • Melanie on May 25, 2014

      Lovely rich ganache paired with fluffy cupcakes.

  • Rose cupcakes

    • Melanie on September 11, 2011

      I loved the rose icing but used it to top vanilla cupcakes in the end.

  • Coffee and chocolate loaf

    • Melanie on May 25, 2014

      Very good. The coffee didn't add the flavour of coffee but helped to balance the flavours. Needed one hour at 160C FF.

  • Orange, almond and yoghurt loaf

    • annapanna on February 02, 2014

      I really like cakes that combine almonds with citrus fruits so I had to try this recipe. This cake couldn't be easier to make. It's amazing how well you can taste the orange just using its zest. I would suggest making this one day ahead as I thought it tasted even better when it was completely cool, especially after a day or two. I imagine this could be really good also using lemon instead of orange.

  • Blueberry crumble loaf

    • annapanna on June 10, 2014

      Good cake, but nothing spectacular. The crumble topping came out a bit too dry, but I needed to keep the cake in the oven for the whole 60 minutes for it to be done. I am not sure I will make this again.

  • Maple and pecan layer cake

    • Apsie on February 08, 2016

      This cake looks very fancy, but is actually very simple to make, and it tastes amazing. I had so many compliments when I took this one in to share at work. It does make an enormous quantity of icing, I had about a quarter left over, and I don't feel I skimped on the cake.

  • Vanilla cupcakes

    • HilaryLittle on May 14, 2014

      My absolute go-to recipe for cupcakes. Never ever fails.

  • Blood orange cheesecake

    • rmorse on February 08, 2016

      I would double the orange jello next time. Great winter dessert

  • Snickerdoodle cookies

    • Hannaha100 on July 05, 2017

      Our second time of making these - delicious. Replaced cream of tartar/baking soda with baking powder to good effect. Don't forget dough needs to rest for 40 minutes before baking.

  • Mixed nut slices

    • etcjm on October 17, 2019

      Used dairy free marg and gluten free flour. Apart from the base being a bit crumbly (I won't use as much rice flour next time) it turned out to be fab. Thought it would be snack pieces but you could serve this as a dessert. Great if you end up with loads of bits of different nuts in your store cupboard. Use 'em up!
