Baking: Our Classy Latest Passion


Think baking is something for your mom to undertake? You better think again! Due to the likes of Blake Lively, Fearne Cotton, Victoria Beckham and an entire host of other gorgeous celebs, baking is the scorching new activity for stylish and fashionable women anywhere. Certainly time to jump on that baking bandwagon!

Cupcakes and fairy cakes are the best approach to relieve yourself to the baking craze; fast, easy and oh-so-delicious, these small lovelies are fun for baking on your own, with close friends or with your kids! All you need are the essential ingredients and a simple selection of bakeware - we recommend a minimum of a baking tray - as well as someone to lick the bowl afterwards. Once you've rustled up a load of cooked beauties, it's time for you to make like the stylish individuals in the town and transform those cakes into small works of art; you can experiment with coloured icing - be it drizzling above the cakes or using a piper to obtain more detailed - and dessert accessories. They'll appear very good to eat before you realize it.

Elegant scenting your house with the warm and comforting scent of freshly baked bread? Whether or not you're trying to buff up those triceps with traditional kneading, rolling and stirring, or just trying to find a fast solution (we recommend our fab collection of breadmakers!), there's no doubt that home made bread surpasses the store bought stuff every moment. Use your newfound skills to start adding some zap to lunches, dinners and breakfasts - baking has never been so adaptable.

Make use of your newly found baking talents for anything a bit trickier next. Baking a Chocolate Fudge Cake, Victoria Sponge or batch of brownies is sure to make you a strong favourite with grown-ups and kids alike! Without a doubt, you may need to fill up on the bakeware - think baking tins and deep baking trays - but the end results are ultra-impressive and ultra-fashionable. Why not bring your baked goodies into your office or the classes and relax as all the compliments pile up?

It's bake or break time; why don't you create a night out of your latest obsession? Baking parties are a fun way to get the ladies together for a giggle-fuelled night; present your chicest aprons, share your favorite recipes, try your hands at something completely new and prepare to chat over some gorgeous cooked goods. Whether you're in the mood for zesty lemon meringue pie al fresco, moist chocolate cake in front of your fave flick or oh-so-light cookies for a wildly competitive cake designing competition, there's thousands of enjoyable baking recipes available for all of you to sink your teeth into. Sweet!
