One of my earliest memories is standing in the kitchen with my grandmother making rock cakes and jam tarts. My gran was one of the old school bakers, and I remember watching her intently as she added a bit of this and a pinch of that. She always let me get stuck in to mixing and kneading and then we would wait impatiently for the oven to finish its work. I remember always taking cakes before they were cool, and gran always telling me I would get a tummy ache. I never did! From way back then I have always loved to play in the kitchen, trying out new thing, recreating old favourites and sharing with all and sundry. This love affair has lasted through all the years of teaching, working, rasing a family and has now developed from ahobby baking for friends into a full on home bakery. I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you, as well as my passion for butter, sugar and cream.
