Hey there, how are you? It’s been a while since I’ve sat down on my laptop and added anything to the website, apologies for being MIA, it’s all been down to my kitchen renovation which is nothing short of stressful to say the least. Baking is something that I find helps to de-stress me and […]
Subscribe to my YouTube Channel now So apparently I’ve been slacking lately, but I did manage to film and shoot this super easy Soft Cheese and Jam Pastries for y’all! The hot weather has been driving me crazy and it’s meant I haven’t wanted to stand in the kitchen shooting recipes. This one however requires […]
Adapted from my original Carrot Cake recipe, this tray bake is just as delicious but much easier to make and perfect for sharing. My Coconut and Jam Sponge recipe has proved very popular with all of you and was also featured in a Buzzfeed article, so I decided to adapt my carrot cake recipe into […]
As a child I used to hate desserts with fruits in them; apple crumble, rhubarb crumble and any sort of baked goods with raisins in them, I absolutely loathed them! I just couldn’t bring myself to eat the fruit even though I wanted to at times – my older sister loves fruit desserts and watching […]
This Coconut and Jam Sponge tray bake is a taste of my childhood, in fact it’s a taste many of us can relate to having attended school here in the UK, cake and custard for me was always the best dessert! Served with vanilla custard, this nostalgic treat can take you back to some of […]
I love bread, I mean who doesn’t? Eeeeeveryone loves bread, even people who don’t eat it because they’ve cut carbs out of their diet, they know it and we know it too! I don’t discriminate when it comes to bread; white, brown, wholemeal, seeded, thin sliced, thick sliced, I eat it ALL! I also enjoy […]
The summer season brings with it an abundance of summer fruits and what better way to enjoy some of these delicious seasonal goodies than to bake a mouthwatering pavlova? Afelia’s Fruity Summer Pavlova is one of my most requested desserts and is a favourite for summer and indeed during Ramadan, because of how light and […]
Afelia’s Carrot Cake originally came about in 2015 after my son and my sister’s son had done well in their end of year exams and we required a small cake to celebrate. I didn’t fancy baking anything but didn’t want to disappoint the kids so quickly threw this cake together, not expecting much, but the recipe turned […]
Mini Afelia, AKA my daughter, loves the recipes she learns at school. In fact, so do I! These Rock Buns were originally made in her Food Tech class (they never called it that in my day, we knew it as Home Economics, meh!) and we’ve had an overload of these buns lately. It so happens […]
Afelia’s Buttermilk Cupcakes were whipped up one day when me and my daughter were baking in late 2015. Using buttermilk is something I enjoy in my cupcakes as I find it tends to produce a softer, fluffier cake. The addition of buttermilk always adds a softness and spongy texture to any sort of bake, whether it’s cakes […]
