About this blog

This is a way of me recording my experiments in cake-making. I love the magic of a bowl of gooey mixture transforming into something golden and gorgeous, the childhood nostalgia of licking the mixing spoons clean while you wait for your creation to come out of the oven, of making a plain cake look pretty and delectable by decorating it with raspberries or ganache... but most of all, the pleasure of EATING cakes!  


Mostly I make things up based on the ingredients that I've got in the kitchen at the moment, or if I spot something delicious looking in a shop or a market. I'm an avid cookbook collector (always scouring charity shops and car boot sales) but like to use them for inspiration rather than follow recipes rigidly. All these recipes can be played with to suit your taste and the ingredients you fancy or that are in season. 


Happy baking... Charlie x
