Book Review: Candice Brown – Comfort
I was so excited to get my hands on the first book from the winner of The Great British Bake Off 2016; Candice Brown. It’s been far too long since GBBO finished and I really miss joining in with the bake along on Twitter (sad face). I know this book will inspire me to create […]

Great British Bake Off Bake Along – Nutella & hazelnut twist bread
Last weeks episode of Great British Bake Off was bread week.
