 My position on PR enquiries

Over the time I have been writing the blog, I have come to value the enjoyment it gives me, and also the freedom I have to try new things and to do what I want, when I want. 

I have also watched blogs I love sadly, in my opinion, change to provide an awful reader experience due to the introduction of monetisation and advertising.

On that basis, it might help to know that I have now taken a conscious decision not to accept anything for review or for PR purposes. I will also not run adverts on this blog.

So what I use and then refer to in posts is what I have bought and used myself. Any opinion I express is honestly held, and volunteered in the spirit that if I'm excited enough to like something, then other baking enthusiasts out there might, too! Conversely, if I have had trouble with something, you might like to know what happened, and what I think about it.

For the eagle eyed amongst you, on the one occasion in the past that I was provided something free for a post (a copy of 'Pure Vanilla' by Shauna Server), I said so clearly. 

I will also delete - and have - any comments left on the blog that I think constitute advertising.

With that out of the way, why don't you grab a cuppa, pull up a chair, and explore my baking world a bit more?

Hope you enjoy your visit!

  2. Hi Sue, I'm not sure if you were aware that your lovely husband smuggled out a slice of your limoncello cake however I must say I applaud him for doing so. OMG, it was delicious (he even presented me with a fork and napkin to!!) I've had the pleasure of sampling some of your masterpieces in the past but I must say this one tops them all. Here's to more smuggling and I hope to return the gesture sometime soon!

Dark Indulgent Chocolate and Walnut Brownies for the Weekly Bake Off

It's been a great couple of weeks in the Bake Off , as Amy has chosen some fantastic chocolate recipes from Mary Berry's 100 Cakes and Bakes . Although I made last week's American Chocolate Ripple Cheesecake, I didn't enter it. Not because it was a disaster (it was incredibly delicious though very rich - Josh has been able to eek it out all week as he only needs a little piece to get his daily chocolate fix!), but I simply ran out of time. So this week, I decided to get my skates on and make the bake early. Particularly as it's brownies. Yes. Brownies. Those dark, fudgey, chocolatey little bites of heaven. But for me, this week was an experiment. You see, I already have a fantastic brownie recipe . It's been made countless times and been played around with to give an endless variety of treats. (Have I ever mentioned Maya Gold in brownies? Yes? Well I'll have to post about them someday soon because they are amazing - like some sort of out of body exp

Not Viennese, but Swiss Cakes for the Weekly Bake Off

One of my strongest childhood memories is the ritual of our family's Sunday Tea, which always took a certain form. My nan would put the kettle on at just before 4pm, and a pot of steaming hot tea would soon be brewed. There were sandwiches, and always, always some form of cake. Quite often, if nan and mum had had a busy weekend, it would be provided by Mr Kipling. My brother and I looked forward to this with some enthusiasm, as there were quite often French Fancies and Vienniese Whirls, which were our hands-down favourites. We could leave the Battenburg Slices, and the jam tarts were often a bit too dry  for us (definitely not as good as homemade). But the soft sweet inside of an iced French Fancy (my favourite being the lemon yellow ones), and the moistness of the Viennese Whirls were something to savour. Of course, you can still buy these. But they just don't seem to taste the same somehow. So when Amy announced this week's Bake Off challenge as the Apricot Swiss

Limoncello Cake

I really love this cake. I mean really love it. So much so, it's my new best friend. It's like sunshine on a plate. The citrussy aroma tempts you while the sultry lemony pucker hits you full in the mouth. And who can resist anything with 'Limoncello' in the title? The mere mention of the word transports you to to the Sicilian sun. It's one more reason I have to thank Random Recipes for getting me to delve into my cookbooks. This month's challenge had a bit of a twist. Dom, of Belleau Kitchen (who runs the challenge) created a Randometer thingummy-bob to test us. You had to enter how many cookbooks you owned, and then it would generate a random number. You counted along your shelf to that book, and then entered the number of pages, to generate another number and so find your Random Recipe. The gods must have been looking favourably on me this month, as I ended up with this gorgeous lemon cake, from Peggy Porschen's 'Boutique Baking
