Chocolate Chip Cookies
Another of our family favourites to share with you – the recipe that is, unfortunately there’s only crumbs left in the tin here!
These chocolate chip cookies are chewy, oaty and soft in the middle. I can promise you one is never enough.
How to Make an Easter Chick
How cute is this little chickie?
He’s made from a creme egg! When I saw these made by Helen at Casa Costello I knew I had to have a menace about and see what I could come up with!

It’s also my first ever foray into video tutorials if you need a bit more than just the photos!
Chocolate Frosted Traybake
Super quick, make it faster than you can say Jack Robinson, no mixer required chocolate traybake. Tastes blooming lovely which is a shame – I promise it will be gone in next to no time too!

Spooky Spectacular Halloween Cake
I thought I’d throw in a decorated Halloween cake to the projects pot this year using a really simple but effective cake decorating technique – brushed royal icing.
If you’d like to have a go at this cake at home (and it’s not half as tricky as it looks) you will need:
