Tasty Treats Made Without Wheat
Hate it or love it? I know some people just don’t like marzipan but personally I think it’s delicious!
If you don’t like store bought marzipan and haven’t tried homemade, I would recommend it. Homemade is less sweet, whilst some cheaper store bought versions can be too artificial tasting, with less real almonds and more almond essence.
These rustic macarons can pack a caffeine punch – or not if you choose decaf. I can tell you whether you opt for caffeine infused or not, they’re the perfect bite-size treat for coffee lovers.

Sugar glass when smashed and cracked is great for making crystals on a geode cake or shards on a spooky cupcake, alternatively the glass can be directly poured and left as a sheet of glass for water or mirror designs.

Happy Pancake Day! I love a classic British pancake but sometimes I want something that feels more luxurious, and for me American style pancakes really hit the spot.
Creamy, rich and orangey, chocolate orange ganache has it all. If you’re looking to add flavour to your cake, a chocolate orange ganache is really easy and makes a good base to cover a cake if you’re using fondant. Whilst also not being as intensely sweet as using buttercream.
If you want some sugar love all you need is cake pops, and maybe a bunch more biscuits, sweets and chocolate. It’s a bit late for Valentine’s Day now but I’m going to tell you about what I made for my Valentine (and half the office) anyway!
