With the half term school holidays coming up I thought now was a good a time as any to share with you my latest budget baking find! Wilkinson’s have a really great baking section with all sorts of spatulas, mixing bowls, icing bags with a choice of nozzles and this fab box of cookie cutters …
Last week I had a big shaped cake to make for a friend who I hadn’t seen in ages. She had seen my posts on Cakes, Bakes and Cookies facebook pages and wanted me to make her son’s 6th birthday cake (more on that next week). Everything went wrong! I needed to make three individual …

I was recently involved in the Waitrose and John Lewis Jubilee campaign on Twitter and as a little thank you they sent me a pair of their seriously cute Union Jack tins. “One for you to say thank you and one for your community!” It said on the card. So I thought as we are nearly at the jubilee and I am sure loads of you out there are busy baking I thought I’d run a little competition.
So, what are you baking for the Jubilee weekend then? I’ve made the Gourmet brownies from the last post and I have only kept a few aside for at home!!! See how cute the tins are?
So to be in with a chance to win this set of cake tins pop a photo of your Jubilee bakes – whether they are red, white and blue, covered in flags or just sheer impressively beautiful and scrumptious looking on the Cakes, Bakes and Cookies Facebook page so we can all see what you’ve been making.
The winner will be selected on Friday 8th June.
You can access the Facebook page by clicking on the link on the right hand panel of this post.
Good luck bakers and hope you have a great Jubilee Weekend
