Let’s talk fairytales and cake

June 20, 2021 by SimplyBeingMum

Once upon a time there was a young girl who married a Prince. There is no fairytale ending - but it's a great starting point to talk about cake. So, let's talk cake. Let's also travel back to Wednesday 29th July 1981 - the day Lady Diana Spencer married Prince Charles, it was the first time I baked a celebration cake. ...

Apple, Fig and Pumpkin Cheesy Crumble Recipe

October 17, 2017 by SimplyBeingMum

One of the beauties of blogging is that it's a great online journal. From time to time a particular post, or series of posts, from the past, pop up and remind me of great memories. Just such a post popped up today on one of my social media accounts. 2 years ago to the day I was competing to be crowned Top Chef by Grana Padano. I didn't win, but I ...

Healthy Carrot Cake Recipe

I heard on the grapevine (or rather Twitter) that today is #nationalcarrotday - which nation are celebrating the carrot I'm not actually sure, but it reminded me of a healthy carrot cake recipe that I posted here a while back (how many years?). It's a great recipe, and worth sharing once again because not only does it contain carrots (it's ...

Simple Chocolate Fudge Cake Recipe

May 12, 2016 by SimplyBeingMum

We are big fans of cake to celebrate at Chez Wright, and this simple chocolate fudge cake recipe is a favourite. Today marks the end of the (somewhat controversial) Year 6 SATs in the UK. Time for cake. As specially requested by First-Born. But unlike the tradition of 'Back2School' cake - which is shared among the family only - this 'End of SATs' cake ...

Halloween Apple, Fig & Pumpkin Crumble

October 30, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

This week it's a very special Food Waste Friday. It's Halloweek Guys. I heard that term earlier in the week and I love love love it! No scary fridge photo today - it's looking fine and dandy. I'm going to pop it across on Facebook instead of in this post. Had a really good (zero waste) week. And as I wish that to continue, I have a No Waste ...

Time To Bake A Birthday Cake

April 6, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

When I first started blogging it was intended that it be a way to share my home-spun recipes with family and friends. Although it evolved into something so much more. One of my most popular posts is still, Making It - A Simple Birthday Cake. Most days I am within the top 5 results on Google in the UK for 'how to make a birthday cake'. ...

That Was Then, This Is Now

January 7, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

I've always loved baking. One of my first baking memories was making a cake for Charles and Diana's wedding in July 1981 - I was 7. It was frosted red, white and blue. Baking was a favourite rainy Sunday afternoon pastime, for me, as a child. My Mom, always keen for me to get 'hands on' would leave me to my devices, with minimal supervision. I learned a ...
