27.11 favourite recipes

Yesterday I recieved a request to share some of my favourite baking recipes on the blog,
I'm on a real baking kick at the moment, and I'm more than happy to oblidge! Most of the recipes I use, are ones found online, so I've created a list of links so you can browse at your leisure. Enjoy!

Flapjacks are so simple to make, and always a crowd pleasure. The thing I love most about making these is you can swap the dried fruit and nuts for anything your heart desires.

I made these lemon fairy cakes for my end of college picnic, instead of the suggested garnish, I used a daisy cutter to make shapes from fondant, and piped pink icing to make a summery decoration.

These oat biscuits could not be easier. I added in a 45g bag of M&Ms for a colourful treat

Rice Krispy treats are super more-ish and sticky, good fun to make.

Yum, yum, yum I love flapjacks too, but my next aim is to make some cupcakes to save money (as I'm addicted to buying them in London). I definitely need to get back into baking, I remember one day where I randomly made three different cakes!

June Paski said...

jill said...

That's funny I thought the rice krispies recipe was just an American thing! fond childhood memories:my dad (& sibs) were/are the ones into baking, not our mom, but she did make a mean rice krispie treat! (with our help).

LOVE the fairy cakes, they're beautiful and that's a great tip with the cookie cutter.

Hope you're feeling better: I bet that's why you're feeling chilled, I really hope you don't have a fever. I hate that chilled to the bone feeling.
