Chocolate Peppermint Bars

Hello Everyone!!

This week's blog post is for these refreshingly cool Chocolate Peppermint Bars. The process of making these was quite similar to making caramel squares as they have the same three components; a biscuit base, filling and a melted chocolate top. The taste of these bars was reminiscent to After Eights and I thought they were delicious!

So let's get started...

My Go-To Biscuit Dough (and Flooding Technique)

Hello Everyone!

This week's blog post is the third in my series of "Go-To" posts and it's for my go-to biscuit dough. I use this recipe whenever I'm making what I like to call decorative biscuits i.e I'm going to be flooding biscuits. This is a really nice recipe and depending on your cookie cutter size, it makes about 25 biscuits. The dough also doesn't spread a lot in the oven so the biscuits don't lose their shape, which I know is a very important factor when making intricately shaped biscuits. 

So let's get started...

Biscuit Week

Hello Everyone!
This week's blog post was composed over an entire week as it's Biscuit Week! There were two main things that inspired me to make this post and partake in Biscuit Week:
1. The Great British Bake Off has returned to TV screens for its sixth season and week two was Biscuit Week for the contestants. As a fan of GBBO and biscuits I felt it was only right to have my own Biscuit Week.

2. At the beginning of the year I went through the majority of my recipe books and bookmarked everything that I hoped to bake before the year is over. Looking at the amount things I had bookmarked I thought the only way that I could complete a reasonable chunk in a short space of times was to set aside a week dedicated to baking a certain category. Hence I decided to start with a Biscuit Week.

So let's get started with 7 days, 7 biscuits...

My Go-To Cupcake Recipe

Hello Everybody!
This week's blog post is the second in my series of 'Go-To' posts. Whenever I need a batch of cupcakes this is the recipe that I always go for. I find these cupcakes to be soft and fluffy on the inside but have a nice firm outside, which is perfect for some piping. I hope you enjoy these cupcakes as much as I do and let's get started...
