Dirt cake

    These have real wow factor! They look gorgeous at parties as you can make quite a few small ones and put them in the centre of the food table.

      Birds nests

      These make great easter treats that the kids will love to make. You can use any kind of treats to put in the nest. Wrap them up and give them away as gifts

        Peanut brittle

        Make this peanut brittle in minutes and serve as a sweet treat at a party or put in a pretty jar and give to a friend as a gift. Either way, it's a winner!

          Nan’s zucchini loaf

          This is a beautifully moist loaf that tastes of vanilla and cinnamon, not zucchini! It will keep in the fridge for a month - not that it will last that long! Pop some in the kids' lunchbox for a tasty snack that's a little bit healthy, too.

            Easy scones

            Whip up a batch of these easy peasy scones before the kids get in from school and serve them up with strawberry jam as an afternoon treat. Better still; make a double batch and freeze the leftovers for lunch boxes!

              Luscious lemon tart

              This refreshing, tangy lemon tart is always a much anticipated dessert. What we like most about it is that it doesn't contain the heavy cream and egg filling of cafe-style lemon tarts. Use a frozen shortcrust pastry tart to make this recipe super-quick.

                Honeycomb

                This golden honeycomb is a sweet treat to make at home with the kids - as long as you supervise closely! Kids enjoy seeing it froth and bubble to triple its size during cooking.

                  Classic sponge cake

                  Just like grandma used to make, this recipe for sponge cake will soon be a favourite in your home. Sponge cake is a lovely light cake for afternoon tea. The cake can be prepared in the morning and sandwiched together with filling just before needed.
