Recipe // Dairy and Soya Free Rock Cakes

5th June 2017

I love rock cakes. They are probably my ultimate nostalgic food; they remind me so much of my childhood. We used to roller skate along to the cafe near the Peace Statue in Hove at the weekend, no matter what time of year, and stop off for a hot chocolate and rock cake. I remember being bitterly cold after a blustery ride along the seafront, and being so thankful for the hot chocolate cup warming my little hands… We also used to make them ALL the time – so after talking about ...

Recipe // Dairy and Soya Free Iced Biscuits

22nd March 2017

When H-Bear was initially diagnosed with Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA) and a soya allergy at five(ish) months old, one of my first worries was “What on earth are we going to feed him?!” But as the months have gone by, it’s become much easier to find suitable recipes – or adapt the unsuitable! Yesterday we decided to bake some biscuits. I’ve been wanting to try my hand at H-Bear friendly biscuits for a while… I’ve got the dairy and soya ...

It’s half-term here in East Yorkshire, and we’ve had a lovely start to the week. Yesterday we headed into the village to the post office, the greengrocers and the florist. H-Bear walked all the way, and Busby scooted along in the sunshine.

6th October 2016

With H-Bear suffering from Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA), and also a soya allergy, finding sweet treats that he can eat can be a challenge. He’s recently realised that cake exists, and as been rather envious of us while we’ve tucked into cupcakes and such like. We’ve tried a few different alternative recipes for cake (including a rather disastrous beetroot chocolate cake!) but none of them have tasted quite right. So when the lovely folk at Flora got in touch and ...

Family Fun // The Cadbury Owl Cake #FreetheJoy

8th August 2016

Busby and I love baking together, so when the fabulous folk at Cadbury set us the rather delicious task of baking an owl cake (with LOTS of scrummy Cadbury chocolate), we couldn’t wait to get (egg) cracking and #FreetheJoy. We were given a yummy, basic chocolate sponge recipe to work from, which was very easy to follow. You can find the recipe over on the Huffington Post here. It gave Busby the opportunity to do lots of counting, weighing and measuring! We had fun putting the ...
