As a home baker with a *very* sweet tooth I was happy to receive a copy of Marshmallow Madness by Shauna Sever to review. It may be summer but with the wet weather it’s also pretty good to hide indoors from the rain drinking hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows. I didn’t ever think…

Giveaway: Ariel Powder party pack
As a very busy mum I’m sure I’m not alone in having an overflowing washing basket. A husband with a messy hobby, a toddler addicted to his paints and the garden and baby discovering food do not make for clothes which stay clean for long. Thank goodness for Ariel Powder which has been awarded Best…
Orla Kiely inspired cupcake wrappers
Given my frequent mentions of the Queen of Print, Orla Kiely, it will come as no surprise I fell in love with these the moment I saw them. Paper cupcake wrappers featuring a very Orla Kiely-esque car print. I love this design and already have some luggage and a notebook featuring it so I…

Letter box cakes
It’s not every day that I receive an email asking if I would love to review cake, I wish it happened more frequently. However, the lovely people at Baker Days invited me to try out their personalised cakes, for any occasion, which fit through your letter box. Just in case you don’t believe me here’s a photograph…
