Royal bakery!
Mmm...toblerone mousse sounds awesome <3I made blackberry clafoutis the other night (with freshly forage blackberries; I have the prickles to prove it!).
I followed this recipe (but didn't have any vanilla handy).
It tasted like an autumnal forest (yum!)

I absolutely LOVE blackberries!! I am anxiously waiting for them to come back into season here, in the meantime I've been eating tons of strawberries and raspberries! So much so that the kids at work know I usually have strawberries at snack time so whenever they also have strawberries they come running over to tell me!
A baking thread is an awesome idea Jane. I actually work as a baker and am the head chef in my household! I make some mean sticky buns at work, I wish we could all gather for coffee and I could make us all some.
Speaking of baking, time for me to head off to work! Have a great day friends! (hugs) :-)
Ooooh Shawn...!!!! Bake me some goodies!!! :O (I am a diamond member of Slimming World now so surely I get to eat naughties again??)
And yes, Princess Jane; blackberries are awesome.
Have you ever tried the impossible cake? It's creme brulee combined with brownie.
Oh man, my mouth is salivating here, looking and reading about all these goodies. I might have to do another blog post soon with a recipe so I can share:)Such a great idea. I love trying new things. Now which one do I try first....
Shawn, are the sticky buns a homemade recipe? Cuz Mmm....I want :)
Mmm...pumpkin cookes <3I made pumpkin pie for the first time last year (I'm British!), and nom nom nom!! :)
The sticky buns I make at work is a big recipe, and yes it is from scratch. When I make them at home I have to make the recipe much smaller. It is made with a nice soft sweet dough, rolled out and spread with a cinnamon sugar coating which is the sticky part of the yumminess, once baked, they are piped with lots of cream cheese icing! Fantastic with a hot cup of coffee!
I will post a very simple yet delicious cookie recipe after! Ginger sparkle cookies! Mmm Mmm! Excellent with a hot cup of tea! :-)

*drools all over self*
Awesome thread.
Okay, I should probably admit that I am a SUPER picky eater. Seriously. VERY picky! I will almost definitely love anything with chocolate in it though!!
I will be sure to share some chocolate recipes too Jane! :-)
Sparkly cookies, sticky buns, chocolate...Shawn be careful; I could fall in love!!?? ;-p :O
That would make a good story actually, a romance between a baker and a patron to his bakery. One taste of his sticky buns and that was it, she was in love!

;O you ladies have me droolingYummmmmmmzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !!!!
Shawn; I'll include it in a future book (*sneaks away like Hamburglar*) mwah haha ha.
@TL: Awesome TL! I was thinking the same, a story unfolded in my mind all day while I was at work yesterday. Now just to get it on paper!
Today I tried out my ninja cookie cutters that I got as a gift when I got my black belt to make little black belt gingerbread girls! Link to my Facebook page with a picture!https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...
Super cute cookies Jane! I would hire you as a baker.

Man, you rock! Those are fantabulous! (yeah, totally made up that word and it fits!)
Fantabulous is an actual work, meaning marvelously good.
Haha. It doesn't sound like it would be, but awesome!

Sitting here in pjs, candles lit and watching the Great British Bake Off and it made me think of you lot <3
We expect lots of goodies when you're done watching, TL;)
I baked my second favourite cookies the other day but I never got around to posting the picture of them anywhere. At the moment I'm kinda into ice-cream though so I haven't been baking as much!
Yeah, but that's because you're into spring, and we up here are plunging into autumn, princess :-) OK, so having been inspired by Bake Off...
I am putting out a 3 tiered cake; each layer flavoured with a different flower.

I still eat ice-cream in winter! Its fun to eat no matter what the season!!
So what flavours for the cake? Cos I only like chocolate and vanilla!
It's a virtual cake; make it whichever flavour you like. ;-P Vanilla is from a flower, right? :O
The ones last night used jasmine tea or elderflower cordial. All sounded yummy.
I'm not sure I've ever actually made real life cookies, but this weekend I'm going to try oatmeal raisin with my step daughter (which sounds quite tricksy online).
*Please note the step daughter will be assisting in the making, not being baked into cookies (I'm not that kind of witch!) ;-p
Did some more baking today, made these awesomely delicious Milo biscuits!https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...
Oh they looked so good. I've never heard of them, but they looked yummy:)
Amanda wrote: "Oh they looked so good. I've never heard of them, but they looked yummy:)"Yummy and easy to make!

OK, we're having a Halloween Bake Off at work.Do I go gruesome / creepy / cute with my cake??
I've seen a really cool white eyeball cake drizzled with red jello and then a green iris put in.
A really pretty spider's web tart (just whit icing piped then struck through).
A white covered red velvet cake with red icing (blood) dripping from the top and a knife poking out.
Or a simple 'sheet' type white ghost (think more Casper).
Ideas/recipes gladly accepted.
But they have to be suitable for someone who's cakes don't often rise very well, and need to be super easy to make.
:)
Oh man, those all sound awesome! I love the idea of the spider web cake and you could even find a cool looking plastic spider to add on top. The red velvet cake sounds cool too, but I think I'm a fan of the spider cake the most.
Are you on pinterest, TL? I find a lot of my cake ideas on there. Love pinterest!

Ooh!! They all sound fabulous!! I kinda like cute things, but seriously I loved all those ideas!!
I have a super easy chocolate cake recipe if you want me to send it to you. Its the one I usually use when I make cakes for family birthdays and things and I've never had any problems with it! Just let me know!
Oh, and I should say I can't wait to see pictures of whatever you end up making!!
Okay, so to help Elle with a FB question I did a quick post and it happened to be a recipe for Apple pie, so here I am. I wanted to share that with all you lovelies. I love it and think it's super delicious. So does my husband, so that must mean it's really good, right? Right! *smirks*Enjoy!

Oh, thank you, Princess Jane! It is delicious. Let me know if you ever try it out and if you like it:)
Thanks. I'm going to make a semi-hemisphere eyeball this weekend (red velvet inside). I'll SEE how it turns out ;-)Scroll fown for the eyeball...

Cinna-Bons are very expensive to buy. So, I've been trying to perfect my cinnamon bun recipe for years now. My problem is, they come out too hard, not super soft like when you buy at the bakeries. Anyone got a tip to share?Also, I'm looking for the creamiest, chocoliest, chocolate cream pie, and chocolate fudge pie recipes.
