Last year on Facebook there was a picture of gingerbread reindeers, which were effectively upside down gingerbread men. Facebook memories reminded me of these cute little biscuits so I set about creating some for myself. And now I’ve been creating them for others too – so to enable everyone to enjoy them, here’s the recipe: … More Gingerbread shaped biscuits
Baked donuts, no eggs, no dairy – taste and decoration limited only by your imagination. I have created many different variations and I’ll get round to sharing them with you. However it’s Christmas and that means I can share my Christmas tree donuts with you… I bought a Christmas tree donut tin last year. I … More Christmas baked donuts (GF)
This is Christmas in a cookie. We’ve already had Christmas in a burger so I had to balance it with pudding. Crisp on the outside, soft and crumbly on the inside, these are rich and packed with flavours. I think these are more adult cookies than for kids – maybe if you were making for … More Chocolate Christmas Pudding Cookies (GF)
I can now officially start sharing Christmas recipes with you without feeling guilty. Nothing says Christmas more than a delicious mincemeat pie. Of course mincemeat pies are sweet not savoury and certainly don’t contain meat these days. Shop bought mincemeat is full of suet and I always think it’s a bit slimy in texture and … More Mincemeat pies (GF)

I was planning to go out on my bike for a run this afternoon however the best plans and all that good stuff. The temperature has barely risen above zero and when I got home from the hairdressers, our little cat Sophie was demanding attention. I can’t refuse – she’s just so gorgeous (look at that wee face) I … More Chocolate orange gateau (GF)
I make vegan celebration cakes – not as a business, just in my spare time when I can and I donate the profits to charity (in 2015 this is to Erskine and the Scottish Emergency Riders Volunteer Service). Most of my baking is just for friends and family and they’re happy to be taste testers … More When is a cake not a cake?
Want to do your cakes justice? Well these lovely cupcake cases from The Shire Bakery are perfect … More Cupcake cases review
It’s not Mary Berry’s walnut cake before you ask. I had tried her recipe using banana instead of eggs but it was too overpowering and I wasn’t happy with the integrity of the cake. It tasted lovely but banana overpowers the coffee (which I added cos I think walnut cake on its own is too bland – … More Coffee and Walnut Cake (GF)
