  • My Gran’s Coffee And Walnut Cake

    My Gran’s Coffee And Walnut Cake

    This is a special recipe for me because it is my Gran’s coffee and walnut loaf cake. I think she made it up of various recipes but she always added milk to her cakes and so I have kind of kept the tradition too! I found the recipe amongst my recipe cards and just had to bake it! I love the fact that I still have the ingredients written in her handwriting! She used to make this most weeks and she was a very good baker. She always taught me to never overmix your cakes and she always made her bakes without electrical equipment. For this recipe, I have done the same and I think the result is a lighter and more delicate cake. I will definitely be baking more with the wooden spoon method in future as opposed to an electric whisk!

    Outfit Of The Day… Royal Blues

    It’s time for another outfit post! This time I used my new Olympus Pen for the photos. I got it for Christmas and I am in love with the quality of the capture. Let me know what you think! Obviously, this is the first time using the camera and so there is a LOT this camera can do that I haven’t discovered yet. Practise makes perfect though and so I hope to take many more up and coming photos with this little gem.

    Review… taylor St. Baristas

    Review… taylor St. Baristas

    Hidden in the back streets of Chancery Lane lies a taylor St. café. Taylor St. is a barista that produces exceptional coffee and is one of my favourites in London. The coffee beans are carefully selected and ground to perfection to create the smoothest richest tasting coffee! I only just discovered them recently and they have several baristas dotted around London including the likes of Shoreditch, Bank and Canary Wharf. However, I had never eaten at one of their cafés before.

    Trying Out My Miniatures #1

    Trying Out My Miniatures #1

    Too many of us have beauty products in abundance. Free samples, minis from beauty bundles and gifts galore. A secret box of hidden gems under the bed… or minis tucked up in storage on that neglected wardrobe shelf. Is this you? It’s definitely me! Recently I decided to go through my beauty stash and make an effort to try some of these beautiful items out. I often collect little minis for travel and whilst this is so useful, let’s be honest, I don’t travel that much! I made sure I kept back some treasures for travels and investigated what wonders I could treat myself to this month. It is such a fun way of saving pennies without buying full sized versions for a bit to! …
