Hydrangea Cake

Baking • Sweet

This was my birthday cake this year. It was based on a recipe from I am Baker. It was so pretty and the cake was flavoured with Pandan which is my absolute favourite cake flavour. So I had a very happy birthday!

A lazy summers day in Cornwall. There have been far too few glorious weather days this year, I am crossing my fingers for an indian summer for September (fashion month), I would rather not have to pack winter clothes for NYC and Paris! My suitcase will be full and I will only have coats in it. However this little Love wrap dress is perfect when the weather is good. I love the colours with the extra blue in the slip and belt to make the pattern pop, and a mix of floral and animal prints always cheers me up.

Bacon and Cheddar Muffins

Meat • Nibbles • Party Planning • Savoury • Savoury Bakes • Sides

These Bacon and Cheddar Muffins are great for breakfast or with soup and salad. The texture of the muffin is really light and crumbly just like a sweet breakfast muffin. I think it is fun to make them into mini-loaves like this, although you can of course just make the regular shaped ones. These are a version of a recipe from FoodGawker – a great compilation recipe site that sources from 1000s of blogs – from the blog Shop.Cook.Make. Try them this weekend they are super easy to make!

Makes 6

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Chop the bacon into small pieces and remove excess fat, then fry till crisp.
Add the Flour and Baking Powder to a mixer and whisk with the warm milk, oil, and eggs until well incorporated.
Fold in half the Cheese and all the Bacon.
Pour into your cases and sprinkle with remaining Cheese.
Bake for 30-35 mins.
