Oh Crumbs!

Getting creative in the Kitchen after a quick photoshoot of some new designs. I decided to get out the baking stuff, mixing bowl and make something to tingle the tastebuds. Here is my recipe step by step guide if you fancy making some of this delicious treats yourself :)

Lemon Curd Cookies


Ingredients:

220g Soft Golden Butter
110g Sweet Caster Sugar
60g Soft and light Icing Sugar
1 Large Chicken Egg
1 Tiny Spoon of Almond Exact
Finely grated Lemon Zest
Juice of a Lemon
300g Plain ordinary Flour
1 Tiny Spoon of fizzy Baking Powder

To Decorate:

Lots of Lemon Curd.

Lets Get Baking:

Preheat your Oven at a hot and toasty 190 Degrees/Gas Mark 5.

Mixing it up in a bowl with a large wooden spoon gather your caster sugar and butter until fluffy and light in colour. Mix in the sweet icing sugar, egg from a chicken, almond exact, lemon zest and juice. Give it a good old stir. Add the plain flour and baking powder until its one big lump of yummy dough.



Blob on small balls of the mixture on to a lined baking tray leaving gaps for them to be individual and squish in the middle leaving a dip for your lemon curd. 

Bake for 10-12 tick tock minutes until golden brown.



Add the lemon curd once cooled and don't eat all at once. Sharing is Caring

Boo!!!!

Spooky Times!!! Halloween is here again and I thought as always I would be a big kid and join in. This year I have chosen to design and carve a pumpkin with my logo on it :) Here is the progress and the final design. Be safe and have a haunted time.....









Shopping bag

Having taken a stroll into Derby town, I managed to come back with some random mix of buys. I also came across some inspiring finds. I found a shop called Design 44 based on Sadlers Gate which has been set up to showcase local artists and design makers work displayed in a vintage and eclectic surrounding. Check it out! Anyhow here are my random buys of the day :)

It's raining...It's pouring

Today feels like wellies and umbrella weather. So rather than venturing outside, I have decided to stay in and get creative. So many ideas but what to do first??? 

Maybe I will run a little competition for starters :) Anyone fancy taking part then visit my facebook page or twitter :)
