Here is a great Easter time recipe. There really is nothing quite like the smell of these treats coming from the kitchen on a cool spring day. These buns are made from a sweet dough recipe which is enriched with egg. They are not too tricky to make, but do require patience as the enriched…

Unicorn Marble Cake
Inspiration can come from the strangest of places. In this instance, I was watching a video of soap making on YouTube. They made the soap in long bars with a repeating pattern on the top, then sliced it into the individual soaps. I thought to myself that perhaps this method might work with a loaf…
Lemon Meringue Kisses
These are great little meringue shapes that are good either bagged up for a bake sale, or used for decoration/toppings on other deserts. My daughters favourite is having them on top of a generous scoop of sorbet. Although the meringue recipe is quite easy, the piping a colouring can be a bit tricky so take…
Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are really tasty and slightly gooey in the middle. They are really quick and easy to make and as they have no egg, they are vegan too which is always a bonus when your baking for more than one allergy. I recommend these as a quick, easy and popular choice for school bake…
Gingerbread Cake
This is one of my Mum’s old recipes that I have adapted to be dairy free. Usually Ginger cake will have milk as a main ingredient but after some experimentation I found the best tasting substitute is actually apple juice.

Rich Man’s Shortbread
Otherwise known as Millionaires Shortbread, this recipe has a shortbread biscuit base, caramel centre and chocolate topping. The original recipe for this came from a lovely little teashop on the shore of Loch Etive. Unfortunately the old teashop is no more, but instead is a holiday home for tourists to the west coast of Scotland….
Tear and Share Cinnamon Buns
This is one of my favourite recipes. There is nothing better, in my opinion, than a warm cinnamon bun with a cup of tea. Not to mention how the bread and cinnamon make the kitchen smell so warm and inviting. This recipe uses a basic sweet dough. Although I’m making cinnamon buns today, it is…
Carrot Cake
Let me start by saying there are lots of recipes out their for a carrot cake. As it is usually made with oil as opposed to butter, most can be made dairy free by simply changing the cream cheese topping for an orange dairy free butter cream. I have chosen to put this recipe on…
Apple and Almond Crumble Bake
This tray bake has a delicious cake base, with lots of texture and flavour. It is great cold, but even better warm served with dairy free custard. Don’t be afraid to change the filling for this recipe. Its easy to do and makes for a great seasonal tray bake. As it is autumn now, the…
