Carrot and Ginger Vegan Cupcakes
Okay, so this one sounds like I should've made it in winter, but the buttercream definitely makes it taste like springtime. Initially I was thinking about the buttercream and how it would taste quite a lot of cinnamon if I left it the way it was and so, I have added something in to make it taste more zingy and fit for the season. Let's take a look at how we make this incredible (and quite easy) cupcake set!

Raspberry and Lemon Coconut Cream Vegan Cupcakes
Okay, so I'm back making more cupcakes and trying out some recipes for spring. If you've been here since my Christmas Eve baking marathon, you'll know that I can be a bit overly fond of spending tons and tons of time on things (it was over six hours of baking if you really wanted to know). If you want to remind yourself of our awesome Christmas flavours then you can click the link below (and also read about my situation of dancing around the kitchen covered in flour whilst the 80s radio station played in the background)...

Foraging Appalachia’s Wild Edibles. Top Story - March 2026.
It's that time of year again and Appalachia offers a remarkable abundance for anyone willing to learn its seasonal gifts and practice careful gathering. Across ridges, holler's, stream-side's, and meadows, edible plants, berries, roots, and fungi appear through every part of year. Knowledge is key and teaches not only what can be eaten, but also how to gather with respect so that these resources remain available far into future.

'Less Sugar' Lemon and Blueberry Vegan Cupcakes!
So, you probably saw on my Facebook that I've been doing some springtime baking - and don't worry - it's still vegan. I'm not a vegan but the people who eat my cakes and biscuits are. This one is a lemon and blueberry cupcake with a rosemary and vegan cream cheese buttercream. I've dyed the buttercream a lavender purple but you can use any colour you please. And remember, these are 'less sugar' as well, so we opt for healthier sugary options at times and we see how far we can reduce the sugar without changing the texture, using other things to sweeten our cake.

10 Quaint Flavors To Try With Your Next Sourdough Loaf
Homemade sourdough bread has been a byproduct of the COVID-19 pandemic that has never quite left the building. A lot of people picked up the hobby due to having an abundance of time at home, which is something you desperately need to make sourdough a hobby. And while a lot of bakers love a good piece of plain sourdough with butter or jam, the vanilla version can get a bit boring.

Apple and Almond Tart
So I spent the first half of Sunday making pancakes (of course, for my mother) and then I baked an apple and almond tart. Did I have to use a recipe from someone else? Nope. This is something quick and simple that you can do with a little bit of patience and a lot of ease. If you're looking for a quick dessert that's filling and tasty then I'd go with this, serving suggestions include:

Surprise! "Filled Up" Lemon Cupcakes
There are a few parts to this recipe so make sure you give yourself a bit of time and, make sure you have some baking beads available - they're usually used to blind bake a pie crust but you're going to need them for the cake here. You're also going to need some mini cupcake cases or extra greaseproof paper - this is about to get weird.

Chipotle Tattoo BOGO: The Story Behind the Burrito Deal
Sometimes a free burrito is more than just a meal. Sometimes it becomes a small cultural moment that people remember for years. The phrase chipotle tattoo bogo began as a strange mix of food, loyalty, humor, and internet culture. At first glance it sounds like a joke. Why would anyone get a tattoo for a burrito? But thousands of people actually did.
