My New Kitchen Helper & Win Yourself One Too!
So not my usual kind of post, in fact I hardly ever review things but I’m making an exception for this one.
The Ones to Treat the Family!
Here are the ones that are definitely for sharing – family tea times, get togethers with friends, just made to be shared.
Monkey Bread – sweet cinnamon bread, sticky caramel what could be better? You can bake it in any kind of tin it’ll fit in so don’t be put off if you don’t have a ring tin.
The Ones to Treat Yourself!
Here are the ones that I would be tempted to make and hide – the less people know you’ve made them the better otherwise they’re gone in no time at all!
Vanilla Slices – yes please! My Nanna taught me to make these when I was 12, boy am I glad she did.
The Ones for a Picnic!
Hopefully the weather will be good enough to get on at least one picnic this summer – here’s what I’ll be packing in the cool bag!
Ultimate Sausage Rolls – that’s if I don’t eat them hot off the cooling rack!
The One for the Kids to Make
Always good to have a quick rainy afternoon activity so here’s my top 3 recipes for the kids to have a crack at!
(Click on the title to take you to the recipe)
Chocolate Chip Cookies – who’d say no to one of these?
It’s the Holidays!
Yay! It’s the start of the summer hols! For those of you who’ve tried it you’ll know that working from home and trying to look after the children at the same time is a challenge.
This year, to try to ease frayed tempers, I’m going to be concentrating on my boys rather than the laptop, I’ve figured there’s probably only a couple of years left to run in the park, climb trees and jump in a stream before they’re all at high school and not getting up till lunchtime.
The Pink Whisk Guide to Bread Making
It’s here!!
Well very nearly! Official release date is the 30th August but the books are due in next week. Because some of the big retailers play naughty monkeys and don’t hold the books back until the official date, the books are being issued to the smaller independents first and that means me too!
The Pink Whisk Guide to Cake Making
Sometimes I have to pinch myself to believe that I have the opportunity to do fantastically exciting things like writing and publishing a book so before I get on with the rest of this post I want to thank all of you, for standing behind me, being in The Pink Whisk gang and making this all possible, dear lovely Pink Whiskers this book is all because of you.
Sometimes….
Things don’t quite go to plan.
I’m struggling, my creative inspiration seems to have disappeared into thin air.
I wanted to bring you fantastic projects for Valentines and Pancake Day but nothing seems to be working quite right.
I made these…
and these…
and these…
but all have been deemed not quite up to par so they haven’t made it to the blog 🙁
