Not a recipe this time round but a great giveaway for little Pink Whiskers!
Flossie Crums and The Enchanted Cookie Tree, written by Helen Nathan, is a wonderful combination of a fairy story and recipes for little Princesses to try their hand at. If there’s one thing I know for sure it’s that little people love to bake.
Flossie Crums loves nothing more than baking for the fairies that live in her garden. Having saved the day with her delicious cupcakes in The Fairies Cupcake Ball, Flossie and her little brother Billie have now been asked to bake cookies to celebrate the arrival of a new fairy – the baby of the King and Queen of Romolonia. You can visit the website here – Flossie Crums
Lots of beautiful cookie baking recipes and ideas here’s George the Marshmallow Spider Cookie!

Nearly all of the brandy has been fed into my Christmas cake, I guess it'll soon be time for the 'decorating the cake' instalment. Is it very, very bad of me to hope that nobody else in our house likes my (your) Christmas cake …
Fab book – fab blog!!!

What a lovely book! It would be great for baking with my nieces and nephews, and my son when he is a bit bigger.

Flossie and little Billie are bakers extraordinaire
They book Cupcakes and cookies with finesse and flair
They bake for Fairies and princesses and new royal babies
Reading Flossies adventures is the most fun we have had in ages
Our Flossie would love to bake with the fairy's
I have bought these books for my god-daughter who loves all things fairy and baking so they are great but she doesn't have this one, yet… I have a 15month old litle boy and can't wait for him to cook with me. Can you recommend any cook books aimed at little boys as so many are girly!!

The book looks great! I have tried your Grandma's Christmas pudding recipe today, it is steaming as I type! Smells wonderful! Love your blog by the way!
Im really hopeless at baking and Im trying to start off with basic stuff. I tried some cookies the other day and they turned out more like flat cakes!? i think sticking with really simple recipes which even kids can do is probably the way to go for me! lol.

Not sure if I am leaving a comment in the right place in order to be entered in the draw for the free book.
I love receiving your emails I watched every episode of the Great British Bake off and loved every minute. I am a novice baker and I would love to be as good as you one day.
My god daughter has a son aged 18th months and I have bought him some baking equipment for Xmas so I am sure that book would be a great addition.

I don't qualify as we live abroad – but I just wanted to say that I am so impressed. I came browsing after watching you on gbbo and I think this blog is visually beautiful and very professional. Can't wait to see more.
It's Little Bird's 1st birthday in January and this looks a great book to get some ideas from for his cake which I'm attempting to make.

Great web site and I have tried some of your recipes. My daughter went to Poynton high school with you and we followed you every week. She now bakes with her son aged 2 1/2 and waiting for the 1 year old to join in too. Good luck in your future ventures! Jan

Chris Burke…
Dear Pink Whisk,
Please keep up the good work – your emails come into my work mailbox and they cheer me up no end and give me inspiration. Today my commute to work took 2 hours with problems with tubes, then diversions with the buses and then to cap it all the office cleaner hadn’t put the dishwasher on so no clean cups for coffee. But….at least I could read your email.
Thank you.

Hi Ruth,
Firstly, let me tell you how much I love receiving your e-mails – I get a ripple of excitement each time I log on just incase there is another recipe to try from my now favorite cook. I am enjoying trying your recipes which are being well received by my family!!
I am a wife, mum, nana and Brownie Guider and so have lots of opportunities for baking for and with little people. I have one big prince, Matt, who is still at home (aged 17) who is a real foodie and my husband Peter (I suppose I should crown him King). my daughter, Nicola, has two princes of her own, Josh (5) and Elliott (3) and a newborn princess, Daisy who is just 3 months. My boys love to cook with me when they come over and I would love it if you could enter me into your lucky draw as I am sure I will be able to put this beautiful book to very, very good use.
Once again, Ruth, many, many thanks for all you hard work with your baking and website – am waiting for a book maybe?? In the meantime, I will keep on printing out your pages and clipping them together.
With warmest wishes to you and all your boys,
Sue Thomas xx
Celia Smith…
'If unsuccessful in the competition, I'll definitely be buying my not-so-little princess a copy. Aged 16, a great baker but I know she'll just love the book.
Thanks for the recommendation'.
Kind regards
Celia
PS Have made your fabulous lemon cake three times now and it's gone down a storm with everyone. Can't wait for the book !!!
Annette Carraher…

I just love to bake cakes & sweet goodies but spend so much time at work I have little time to bake. However, I love to buy cookery books to read and lust over at lunchtimes snd odd spare moments.
Love Pink Whisk too cos I can read on my iPhone anywhere I go.
You're a FAB inspiration Ruth, congratulations!

Just wanted to say my partner and I were rooting for you all the way through the Great British Bake Off and CONGRATULATIONS on making it thru to the final.
Thanks for the Monkey Bread recipe which I hope to try this weekend.
Would love this for my little lad – he loves baking, but does more batter eating than mixing!!
I know a lovely little girl (my daughter) who would love that book for Christmas.
Loving the recipes Ruth
Thanks Vicky (pcvicky@hotmail.co.uk)
As a Child i spent time with both my Nans who are now nearly 90 cooking at weekends, this love of cooking passed to my Mum, and now myself who greatly enjoy making celebration cakes together for others. Your e-mails and ideas are now helping me to spend quality time with my kids, doing what we love the most!! Thank you, Your work is an inspiration to all!

Ahh if only there was really an enchanted cookie tree!! Baking really is the new Rock n Roll… in my house it's what we live for, our raison d'etre!
Can't seem to get my URL on here so my email is rebekahandgraham@mac.com
The Great Bake-Off just enhanced my need to bake often, and that's what I've been doing- so I should give credit to you Ruth, and everyone on the show for getting me in the baking zone.
4 batches of Shortbread, 6 of Cupcakes, 2 lemon drizzle cakes, 2 marmalade loaf and a Victoria sponge later and I'm my whole family is now blaming you guys for their fuller middles! I may be a Student, but it doesn't stop me putting on the apron.

This book looks lovely… would be a lovely accompaniment to the Rachel Allen Childrens' Baking Set I have bought my niece for Xmas!
alison.e.mckenzie@gmail.com
Looks lovely. But then any recipe that doesn't have me chewing my lips in horror as my 2 year old attempts to spoon half a bowl of cake mix into a mini muffin case is fine with me!
I would LOVE a copy of this book Ruth!! Also waiting for YOUR book to come out
Love your blog and all your wonderful recipes,keep up the good work Ruth

Hi ruth,
loved watching you bake all your scrummy thing's on the great british bake off!!
my 15 yr old son was pretty inspired at how easy it is to throw a few thing's in a bowl and 20 minutes later out pops a beautiful cake…etc
he has never had the patience to help and watch me , well not for the last few yrs anyway!! but he actually want's to make some scones now ..wooop
my 5 yr old boy also loves to bake, would be amazing if you could write a lil boy's version of the book..won't matter though as my lil boy loves pink..lol
take care and keep up the excellent work with the blog..love it …sharon wright
Good luck to everyone who's entered the competition.
Unfortunately I haven't been blessed with 'little pink whiskers' of my own but love cooking up a storm with friend's children! It's amazing how many fruits and vegetables you can cook into baked goods that they'd never touch otherwise!
Loved watching Ruth on Great British Bake Off and think she should really have her own show!
Good luck everyone,
Victoria (victoria@markandvictoria.me.uk)
some excellent ideas I would try with year 7 on here…..
Hope I can win the flossy book!

Hey Ruth you've turned me into a mother that bakes rather than a mother that gives lots of excuses to her little one about being too busy because I never thought I could! Thank you as you have provided me and my family quality time getting together in the kitchen baking, experimenting and enjoying the fruits of my labour xx
