A couple of weeks ago I came across a great challenge – the PinAddicts Pinterest Challenge. The idea is to choose something from your Pinterest boards to create and link up each month. As I am addicted to Pinterest I just knew I had to join in, the only choice was what to make? I…

Home-baked treats for your Valentine
I don’t normally go overboard with Valentine’s Day but this year I haven’t been able to stop baking. I’ve been whipping up batches of cakes and biscuits and working on improving my decorating skills. They say the way to a man’s heart is via his stomach so I baked some heart shaped gingerbread for my…
Wright’s Ginger cake mix
My husband hates the fact that I occasionally buy packet mixes. I think they’re perfect for keeping in the cupboard and whipping out if you need to produce some cake in a hurry (and they’re usually better than shop bought cake!). The latest addition to my cupboard has been Wright’s Ginger cake mix which I…
The Gingerbread Man review and giveaway
*****Giveaway is now closed and the winner is Helen***** You probably won’t be surprised to hear that I’m a huge fan of the The Gingerbread Man story. I have a couple of versions of the story but recently came across a beautifully illustrated version from Child’s Play which brings the classic fairy tale up to…
Time to bring back #AnchorElevenses and a gorgeous giveaway
Anchor Butter is bringing back Elevenses! Well… It never really went anywhere, it’s just been a little forgotten. They want to empower people who feel the need to have a nice little sit, with a cup of tea and a nibble at around 11 o’clock. I love baking so was happy to bring back elevenses…

Sainsbury’s gingerbread sauce
Just before Christmas I came across another seasonal product from Sainbury’s – gingerbread flavour sauce. The picture on the front looked delicious so I foolishly added it to my basket. Of course I then needed something to eat with it so bought some treacle sponge pudding too. I was really looking forward to trying the…
Bespoke Foods – Gingerbread House Kit
I must admit that I seriously underestimated how much time I would have for our Christmas preparations with two little ones keeping me busy. Fortunately I was sent a Gingerbread House Kit from Bespoke Foods to try. The kit is fantastic for busy mum’s as it contains everything needed to build and decorate a lovely…
Sainsbury’s Mini Gingerbread Men Biscuits
I don’t often find myself in Sainsbury’s but at the weekend we picked up some shopping where I came across Sainsbury’s Mini Gingerbread Men Biscuits in a gift box. Of course I had to try them but I really wish I hadn’t! Bizarrely I can’t find any reference to them on Sainsbury’s own website but…
