Before the month ends, let me recap two baking classes that I managed to go for! I’ve actually not been baking much this year, so these classes are a tiny breath of fresh air that remind me how much I enjoy baking (and how tiring it can be). By the way, both classes were from… Read More 2 Baking Classes I Went For Recently
Well… it seems like my post category isn’t always accurate because this isn’t a kitchen mishap. No, this is most probably a success! *cue celebratory noises* While I’ve not been on Instagram as much recently, it still managed to work its magic on me as for the first time ever, I was influenced by an… Read More Going for a Royal Icing Cookie Class with Irene Cookie Art & Nanatang
I’m lucky that baking mixes can last a long time because I bought this in June and only got around to making it now! If you remember, I tried Primark’s cookie mix a while back… to disastrous results. So I was a little bit worried about Hema’s cake kit and my own baking skills; I’ve… Read More Trying Hema’s Cake Kit (I failed)
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this on the blog, but I am a huge, huge fan of The Great British Bake Off (if you know me in real life, you’ve probably heard me talk about been/been made to watch an episode with me). So when I found this cookbook by the bakers of 2016,… Read More Cookbook Review: The Great British Bake Off Perfect Cakes & Bakes to Make At Home
So, I’ve started the on my Bird & Blend matcha advent! And I received a new one! (No, I did not buy it) This advent is The 1872 Clipper Tea Co.’s advent calendar and Bekah came by the day before Dec 1st to give it to me! Honestly I was really surprised and since the… Read More Tea’s The Season Week 2: I have a new calendar??
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll probably have figured out that I’m back in the office now. And as it turns out, I left one packet of opened sencha in the tea drawer before I left! The tea definitely isn’t bad but it’s been six months (in my defence, I thought I’d be away… Read More I made my own Hojicha
Martha Collinson was one of my favourite contestants on Great British Bake Off, so when I found her cookbook on BookXcess, I made an excuse to place an order. I was planning to try as many recipes as possible before writing this review, but one thing led to another and the book is currently in… Read More Cookbook Review: Twist by Martha Collinson
This is one of the books that I bought as part of my $400-worth-of-books-in-two-months book buying binge (that was a mouthful) and I have absolutely no regrets! I first saw this on Book Depository for about $15 and had it in my wishlist when I saw it on the remaindered books site for $5. Obviously,… Read More Cookbook Review: Tea Fit for a Queen by Historic Royal Palaces
The National Trust baking books are quickly turning into favourites for me because I’ve made another three things over the past couple of weeks from their Book of Afternoon Tea! I’ve previously posted about some of the recipes I’ve tried from them so here are some more recipe reviews*! *Are these considered recipe reviews? Or… Read More Stay at Home Bakes #6: Book of Afternoon Tea
This weekend has been a chocolate-filled one as I made not one, but two chocolate-based bakes! It’s also a bit tricky for me to do this because while my dad and I love sweet stuff, my mum is the sort that says dark chocolate is too sweet so making something that pleases everyone is difficult.… Read More Stay at Home Bakes #5: Chocolate Bakes
