We’ve just added these large ‘you choose’ biscuit sets to the website so if you know exactly what you want to say to someone and our standard sets or our smaller You Choose Sets are quite right, this one might be just perfect.
💕
We LOVE the messages you send us to stamp on these ‘choose your own message’ sets, and without fail they often have us howling with laughter, as well as getting teary eyed at how lovely you are to each other - keep them coming guys, they’re one of the loveliest parts of our baking week!

It’s been a little while since we’ve baked a fully chocolate loaded biscuit cake so this was fun to create this week. A 10” extravaganza for a happy 15th birthday, topped with Dairy Milk, Kinder and chocolate macarons - sooooo good!

Hands down my favourite project for the month of J

Hands down my favourite project for the month of June! What a privilege and a joy it was to create these bespoke biscuits for the launch packs for @emmabarnett paperback edition of her book ‘Period.’ being released. If you don’t have a copy, buy one and then go and buy another one for someone else to read too. Its eye opening, thought provoking, brilliantly funny, educational and really quite shocking and I think it will leave you, like me, wanting to join in Emma’s mission for us all to vow to stop feeling shame and embarrassment around our period and elevate it ‘from the dark underworld of our knickers to normality’ so none of us squirm and change the subject when it’s mentioned. It’s a taboo that is SO outdated and after reading the book I could go on and on about all the ways the weird silence around our periods holds us ALL back but I won’t, I’ll let you read it for yourself.
As an endometriosis sufferer also, Emma’s writing held a particular resonance with me and does a wonderful job of raising awareness of the condition and how debilitating it can be too.
Enjoy the weekend friends, and be good to yourselves ❤️
Huge thanks also to @dawnieb and @harpercollinsuk for the opportunity.

I don’t think it’s just me that forgets this w

I don’t think it’s just me that forgets this way more often than I should. As seems to be happening so regularly just recently, Im reminded while I’m out running how closely the challenges of training to run a marathon reflect some of regular life’s big challenges too.
Last Sunday I ran 10 miles. The furthest I’ve ran for well over two years and I didnt think I could do it. Every step I took for the last two miles was matched by a little voice in my head telling me it would be much easier to stop and walk, reminding me that I didn’t ‘have’ to do this and telling me that I wasn’t anywhere near fit enough to run 10 miles, what was i thinking to set myself this challenge so early on in training? So I set myself tiny targets, that tree on the corner, the bench up ahead, the church that sits right on the water just the other side of the path. And I did it. I put one foot in front of the other, never looking further than just the next thing, and then the next thing, and the next and before I knew it my watch was letting me know I’d run 10 whole miles.
Getting back into running is gifting me so much more than just better fitness. It’s teaching me how important it is to trust in a process, to celebrate the small accomplishments and to believe in myself a bit more. I’m remembering to apply the lesson that slow progress is still progress and that if we just do the next right thing, and take the next right step before long we’ll look back and see how far we’ve come. It’s a marathon, not a sprint folks and never has that message felt more true. 🥰
