Series 5, Episode 2, Florentines
I feel like Florentines are one of those things which I should have tried before but haven't. Hopefully Mary Berry's recipe is a good representation of what they should taste like, I assume, of course, that they are. Here's the
Series 5, Episode 1, Cherry Cake
Series 5 was the first series I watched live. During this series was when I first decided that I wanted to try and bake all of the technical challenges, however, it was several years later that I actually started. A new
Series 4, Episode 9, Charlotte Royale
A Charlotte Royale is a cake that also looks like a brain. Here's the Mary Berry recipe I used https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/charlotte_royale_85654 Yes, 14 eggs in total, leaving 8 egg whites to find something to make with
Series 4, Episode 8, Hazelnut Dacquoise
I've done a terrible job of updating my blog this year. I'm slightly ashamed to admit that I baked this hazelnut dacquoise about 11 months ago so this will be a bit of a random collection of vague memories and
Series 4, Episode 7, Religieuse
It has been many months since I have updated my blog and many months since I made these delicious religieuses. I can only apologise that this will be a vague recollection of the process and not a detailed memory. Hopefully
Series 4, Episode 5, Tuiles

Series 4, Episode 3, Floating Islands

Series 4, Episode 1, Angel Food Cake
I treated myself to a new cake tin for this recipe in the hope that I'd like it and want to bake it again. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/angel_food_cake_with_04002 I'd never tried an angel food cake before so had no idea what it was
Series 3, Episode 10, Fondant Fancies
These fondant fancies were the final technical challenge for series 3, which means I've completed another series. I hope you're proud of me. Here's Mary Berry's recipe for these: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/fondant_fancies_88368 I'd been watching the episodes before doing most of my bakes, I know
Series 3, Episode 9, Fraisier Cake
This recipe has 34 steps, I think that's the most steps I've ever followed in a recipe ever. Here it is: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/fraisier_cake_75507 First of all, I needed to make a genoise sponge, which I'd never made before. It seemed to be quite
