It looked like a dessert crime scene. The sponge seemed harmless—golden, fluffy, innocent. But the second I started slicing and filling? Total chaos. Cream was squelching out like a busted pipe, strawberries rolling off like escape artists, and I ended up looking like I lost a jam fight. But here’s the thing—I stuck with it. […]

I’ve baked this cake more times than I’ve boiled the kettle—and if you know me, that’s saying something. It was my gran’s favourite, the one she swore was the only cake worth having with coffee. First time I made it? Let’s just say I learned the hard way that coffee granules don’t dissolve themselves. Crunchy

I’ll be honest—this roulade nearly collapsed the first time I made it. I didn’t whip the egg whites enough (rookie mistake), overfilled it with cream, and ended up with what could only be described as a sticky banana avalanche. But do you know what? My neighbor still came back for seconds. There’s something wonderfully cheeky

I’d soaked the fruit, zested two whole oranges (and my jumper), and only realised after the fact that I’d poured in warm water instead of actual tea. The result? A bland, damp brick. Never again.

I didn’t think these would disappear so quickly. I baked a test tray to check the swirl, popped into the kitchen to make tea, and by the time I came back—three were gone.

I made this cake for my mum’s birthday, thinking I was being clever by prepping it the night before. Turns out, mousse doesn’t rush. The next morning, the top looked like a shiny chocolate swamp. Crisis? Almost. I saved it with a quick blast in the freezer (more on that below), and when I remade

The first time I made Queen Cakes, I was rushing—late for my neighbour Sheila’s garden tea and convinced I could whip up a batch in no time. Spoiler: I couldn’t. I grabbed cold margarine, chucked everything in a bowl, and hoped for the best. The result? Flat, oily little cakes that refused to rise. But

There’s something effortlessly special about this blueberry traybake. The sponge is soft and golden, the blueberries bake into jammy bursts, and the creamy mascarpone frosting brings it all together with just the right touch of richness. This recipe was born from a surplus of blueberries I optimistically bought, thinking I’d snack on them instead of

I’ll be honest—this cake almost defeated me the first time. Fresh off buying Cook and Share, I thought, “Ah, an easy fruit cake—what could possibly go wrong?” Well… sultanas, that’s what. I didn’t simmer them long enough in the orange juice, so instead of soft and juicy, they stayed dry and chewy, like stubborn little

The first time I baked this, I got overexcited about the plums. They were perfect—juicy, deep purple, the kind that practically wink at you from the fruit bowl. But I went overboard. The middle of the cake collapsed into a soggy mess, the crumble topping slid off like an avalanche, and the whole thing resembled
