When this recipe is cut up into long rectangles, it can be made into this super healthy Battenberg Cake. Using ingredients like raw beetroot it gives you a cake
How has your weekend been? Mine has been a pretty relaxed one if I’m honest which has been really lovely. If you follow this blog regularly you’ll know that my husband and I started a business together last year, and it has been a long and slow road. But it launched this past week, so

In my life before children, I was a keen baker. I loved to make and bake cakes and cupcakes, and it was all about the decorating and making them look pretty. So when the Hummingbird Bakery phenomenon came to London, I was all over it! Cute cakes that I didn’t have to bake? I’m there. It
