So I think it's fair to say I've become a little obsessed with entremets so I'm trying to get back into making sponge cakes again. I recently did a rather lovely red velvet cake, and this is my take on a lemon and blueberry sponge cake that I made for a friend's babyshower. Lemon and … Continue reading Lemon and Blueberry Cake
One of my best friend's mentioned recently that she's a big fan of lemon cakes so what better excuse to start working on a recipe for her birthday! I decided to include a fruit mousse layer to give it a little more depth and raspberry seemed like the obvious choice. But next time I'll make … Continue reading Lemon and Raspberry Entremet
Oh I do love a good cake, and it really doesn't take much to get me in the baking mood!

Red Velvet Cake Makes: 10-12 slices Time: 1.5-2hrs Cake ingredients: 375g plain flour 3 tbsp … Continue reading Red Velvet Cake
Another birthday, another entremet - it seems to be a running theme of late! I'm not complaining though, I love making layered mousse cakes :). And what could be better than trying to make your husband's favourite cocktail into his birthday cake?! I have to say this cake is like a little match made in … Continue reading Pina Colada Entremet
Another special occasion, another entremet ... this time for my friend Jam's birthday! It felt like the perfect occasion to try and improve some of the recipes I've developed over the past year. Everyone was very complimentary of the flavours, and my hubby reckons it's my best creation so far - I'll take that as … Continue reading Cherry, Pistachio and White Chocolate Entremet
Comfort food comes in all shapes and sizes for me, but nothing quite beats a crumble ... especially when it's bitterly cold outside. So here's my take on a rhubarb crumble, with added cherries, orange and cinnamon to give it some wintery warmth. Rhubarb and Cherry Crumble Makes: 6 portions Time: 15-20 mins prep and … Continue reading Rhubarb and Cherry Crumble
There's something so satisfying about making entremets, it's the joy of cutting a slice at the end and seeing if all the layers have worked. They also pack the wow factor for special occasions as they look so pretty. This one was made for my Head of Department who turns 40 this weekend, hopefully it … Continue reading Blackberry Entremet with Elderflower Insert and Mirror Glaze
There's nothing more fun than making cakes for birthdays and special occasions, it gives creative license to go 'big' and do something different. And as it's been a while since I've had time to bake, and my friend Af has been so supportive of my blogging/Instragram it felt fitting to make him something just for … Continue reading Cherry and White Chocolate Entremet
On Thursday my work hosted a Macmillan Coffee morning, something we do every year to help raise funds for a charity that works tirelessly to support those with cancer. Knowing I would be a little short on time to bake on a weeknight, I decided to make a Tarte Bordaloue, a wondeful French pear frangipane … Continue reading Tarte Bordaloue
If you've looked through my blog/recipes you'll have seen that I've become a little obsessed with making entremets. And whilst they're super scrummy to eat, I haven't quite figured out to decorate them "kid" friendly. For my daughter's birthday last year I popped on some Madagascar figurines and a few edible flowers but they didn't … Continue reading Moana birthday cake
