almond and orange and mascapone cakes

i love almonds so i decided to cover these little cakes in them,

i cut out the centres and filled them with sweet mascapone and the sponge is flavoured with orange and almonds.

peanut butter dog biscuits

my dog archie would eat everything in sight if i let him. he always watches me bake looking for scraps or stealing stuff when my back is turned so i decided to make him his own treats

blackberry raspberry meringue kisses

my mum and my grandma and i went on a dog walk yesterday and we found some blackberries.

usually they are not ready to pick till at least august here in england so it was weird to find them so early so we picked some and i decided to make these meringues.

yum yums recipe

i love yum yums they are my favourite treat to buy from the bakery.

so i thought i would make my own.

if you have no idea what a yum yum is its a bit like a french cruller crossed with a croissant. almost like a glazed cronut.

the dough is like a quick croissant dough that is laminated and folded.

sunday show off linky party

hi every one i hope you have have had a nice week. the weather has been beautiful here in devon so i have been out on lots of long walks along the coast paths near where we live, we have just got home from a long walk and the dog is already fast asleep and i feel like i wont be far behind him.

thankyou so much for coming over to link up, i cant wait to see what you have to share.

cherry pie smores with cherry marshmallows

i decided to put a summer spin on the traditional smores and make cherry pie flavour ones, i made home made cherry marshmallows and lattice cookies rather than graham crackers.

they were really good, i love making my own marshmallows at home.

strawberry and lime brioche twist buns

i had a punnet of strawberries i needed to use up so i decided to make these brioche buns, they were so soft and pillowy and the lime icing went really well. 

chocolate chip cookie dough studded fudge

i had a carton of cream i needed to use up so i decided to make fudge, i made some cookie dough and dotted it into the fudge for an extra treat.

it was really tasty and so easy to make at home.

sunday show off linky party

hi everyone i hope you had had a nice week, sorry there was no party last week i had to work all weekend and didn't want to go on the computer when i got home.

i am so glad you have came to link up i cant waive to share. here are the features from the previous weeks party

giant pecan pie chelsea bun

If you love pecan pie then this giant Chelsea bun is for you . I really enjoy bread type sweets so this was great. It's a bit like a huge cinnamon bun with pecan pie flavoured filling. 

bounty filled brownie cookies

 these cookies are so good, the filling is like the centre of a bounty bar and the cookie is like a brownie and then to make them even more naughty i dipped them in chocolate.

if you love bounty's ad brownies then these are for you.

summer berry icecream and homemade chocolate cones

 

i love making my own icecream especially when theres no need to churn it.

the icecream is made with condensed milk and double cream and the juice of blueberries, raspberries and cherries, it tasted really good, and the cones are easy to make too, if you dont have a cone mould you can use a circle of card rolled into a cone.

nutty granola balls

 

these granola balls are so easy to make and they taste great i love them.

i add seeds, nuts and dried fruit with granola and peanut butter and honey to make them, i bake them as i like them crunchy but they can be eaten raw.

banana chocolate chip baked doughnuts with a caramel pecan glaze

i had some ripe bananas that needed using up so i made these dougnuts.

i love banana bread and im always looking for new ways to eat it so i made these banana bread doughnuts with chocolate chips and smothered in caramel.

pretzel peanut caramel bars

these bars are so easy to make and taste amazing.

they are have a peanut, cracker crumb and pretzel layer with a salted caramel layer on top.

they dont last very long in our house as everyone loves them.

for quickness i use shop bough caramel but if you have time i bet they would be even better with homemade caramel.

sunday show off linky party

hi everyone i hope you have had a nice week, the weather was beautiful at the start of the week so much so that i even went in the sea for a swim with my dog, but the last few days we have had rain and thunder storms so its not been great.

cinnamon danish pastry scrolls with lemon icing

 

my partner and i love danish pastries and we often buy the cinnamon danishes from the bakery but i decided to make my own and im so glad i did as they were amazing.

the dough takes a little time to make but the process is not difficult it just requires alot of folding and resting time so i would suggest making the dough the evening before you need it.

my partner asked for a lemon drizzle icing which actually made these great pastries even better.

churro balls with dulce de leche dipping sauce.

 i love churros, but i fancied changing their shape and rather than long piped churros i rolled the dough into balls.

the dough is basically like a choux pastry that is fried and i was able to roll it with my hands as it was firm enough, i found slightly damp hands roll it better.

traditionally they are eaten with a chocolate dipping sauce but i used dulce de leche instead.

oreo macarons recipe

these macarons were so yummy, i love oreos so these were extra special, my partner said they were the best i have made so that was good. if you love oreos and macarons then give them a go.

i love making macarons at home and prefer homemade ones to the shop bought ones.

our sunday best showcase linky party

hi every one i hope you have had a good week, we have had lovely weather here the south west of England its been really warm.

there will be a few changes to the party and this will be the last time we host the party as a group, but
dont worry i will go back to hosting the party on my own like i used too.

home made jaffa cakes

jaffa cakes are one of my favourite treats, they are so nice, if you have not had them before they have a sponge layer with a layer of orange marmalade on top and then they are topped with chocolate.

cherry almond chocolate chip blondies

i love cherries and almonds together so i used those as the two main flavours for these blondie's.

i decided to bake them in a circular tin and cut wedges rather than squares.

these are really easy to make and a quick treat if you are in a hurry.
