NEW BLOG

Finally I have finished my exams and I can put more time into blogging. As this blog has been a bit neglected this year I have made a new blog. http://asqueezemorelemon.blogspot.co.uk/ I would love it if you checked it out and followed this blog as although I have only made one post so far I am putting so much effort into it! 

Thank You x

New Blog

As you may have been aware my posts have been pretty non existent lately, this is because I have a ton of exams in the next month up until the middle of June and I am finding it pretty stressful, yes- I-am-still-baking but do not have the time at the moment to put the posts together. However, I have something exciting to look forward too after the exams as I am going to start a new blog for a fresh start. And I will be uploading far more posts than I am currently doing on this blog and will be able to put far more effort into it. Once I have finished my exams and have put my new blog together I will post onto this blog what my new blog is called. Thanks and sorry for not posting lately x

Valentines day, another excuse to bake away

I am not a very big fan of valentines day, in fact I could make a whole blog post on what I think of valentines day but I shan't  The reason I wont is because despite valentines day being one of the most pointless day of the year, in my opinion, however it does give me a chance to bake lots and lots and lots.

The First cake, well cupcakes that I choose to make where these raspberry and chocolate cupcakes, with a gooey raspberry filling. Let me just tell you how much I cant wait to indulge in these cupcakes tomorrow and nor can my friends! This recipe is the humming birds chocolate cup cake recipe however I added the raspberry jam center to give them a more valentines day feel. The icing is chocolate cream cheese frosting topped with a raspberry on top...nom nom nom.

The second, were these chocolaty cupcakes. The same recipe as before but without the raspberry jam center. The icing is a pink cream cheese frosting and if that isn't good enough I also topped them with chocolate chips. So here's to valentines day,another excuse to bake away!

The day of the panckaes

Two Eggs, 250g of flour and 500ml of milk managed to take over the nation this pancake day. Along with their trusty Chocolate spread, lemons, sugar and jam this day is really the day of the pancakes.

Me exaggerating? Maybe a little. But it is the a day where we can really appreciate a simple recipe with many different toppings and let me just tell you I sure did make the most of pancake day. My pancakes got drowned in virtually any sauce possible but hay ho it is the day of the pancakes after all.

An Apology With Tart

I would like to say sorry for not blogging recently. It has been very stressful with school lately as exams are coming up (I'm 15) and it is hard to keep on top off blogging. However I would like to apologies with this apple tart I made today.

This tart does look very complicated, I must admit when I saw it in Jamie's magazine I gulped. Yet being me I thought I would give it a try. Surprisingly it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. You just have to make sure that you slice the apples thin enough so that they can fold without snapping in the center and so that they cook through. A tip with this recipe is to put the apples in lemon once cut as this stopped them from going brown. You should also keep the skin on as the recipe said to peel it but I thought it would looking more appealing with the skin on, but go with whatever floats your boat.

I have been writing this blog post whilst eating a slice of this apple tart....Now I have reached the end of this post and I still have a full slice...my second slice but shh don't tell.
