I spotted this pretty Elderflower Bundt cake on Pinterest a while back, and I eventually found the right time to make it. It was probably not the best time seasonally for the flowers on top, but I made do with some rose petals and blueberries. I think nearer the summer the roses will give off…

Afternoon Tea at Sketch, London
Last weekend Mum and I were headed to London Town to a wedding, and we decided to make a few days of it. One thing we both love is an Afternoon Tea, what is better than whiling away a few hours over some sandwiches, scones, delicate pastries and endless pots of tea? I did some…
Strawberry Milkshake Cheesecake
Back in March I signed up to bake for the Edinburgh Bakers Charity Event at Camera Obscura, it was a great idea at the time until I remembered my kitchen was getting ripped out a few weeks before.

Simnel Cherry Tart
While looking for some Easter themed baking inspiration I came across a recipe on the BBC Good Food website for a Simnel Cherry Tart. Simnel Cake is a traditional Easter cake; a light fruit cake topped with toasted marzipan, it’s something that I have never made, basically because its a big cake for two people!…
Shore Walk: South Queensferry to Cramond Ferry
I did this lovely walk a few weeks ago as part of my Kiltwalk training, its quite an easy walk from South Queensferry through the Dalmeny Estate to Cramond Brig. The path is track in parts and tarmac in others and of course with the added benefit of nice views. We parked just at Hawes…
Three Birds, Edinburgh
A few weeks ago Three Birds in Bruntsfield ran two menu taster days, offering half price on the dishes they were going to include on their new menu, in return for feedback. Always one for eating out and a bargain a friend and I headed there to try them out. Three Birds is very much…
