My plan to be kinder to myself and to listen to my body more has been a little bit forgotten but where possible I am trying not to overload myself with complicated jobs. I love baking and new recipes but I always seem to pick really tricky ones with lots of ingredients and millions of steps. So I have decided that simple is best and have been mixing big bowls of my old faithful sponge batter ( Victoria sponge) and making lots of easy quick and simple goodies.

In addition to whisking up sponge cakes, scones are another really easy bake that everyone loves and only take minutes to prepare.
this post is making me feel hungry but I mustn't raid the cake tins................

Oh my goodness how yummy it all looks. Your scones look amazing, mine never look anything like that, they look more like biscuits than scones.

All my favourite things, I'm peckish now!
ReplyDeleteMm! I would love to come to tea with you!
ReplyDeleteHow do you bake and not go int he cake tin??? Impossible... Love Jo xx
ReplyDeleteYour scones are really tall - amazing! - you should enter them into a competition! All the rest looks lovely too. xx
ReplyDeleteThey all look great. I've made a fruit tea loaf this afternoon. Perfect baking weather. Enjoy the rest if your weekend. X
ReplyDeleteThe thrill of the new and of learning something is sometimes a bit of a treadmill we need to step off. It is good to go back to doing things we do well, that can be shared and where we can relax doing it as our hands and brains can almost do the task themselves. Your cakes and bakes look lovely and I am sure were very well received. I'd also bet money that not one asked why you hadn't challenged yourself a bit more or done something they'd never tasted!!!
ReplyDeleteyummy!!!!!
ReplyDeletehappy sunday, xxxxx Ale
Wow looks so yummie!
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell those scones. Will done.

That Victoria Sandwich looks absolutely super - it's making my tummy rumble. Sometimes traditional, simple and standard is best! x
ReplyDeleteSimple pleasures indeed - I find the simplest baking, you know the kind, wooden spoon and bowl, the most satisfying of all. Your bakes are comfort and love all in one tin! Chrissie x
ReplyDeleteAnd what can I say to all this scrumptiousness but a simple YUM!!!! Thanks goodness one does not put on kilos via images because this post would make me 10 kilos fatter for sure!!!
ReplyDeletekeep well

ReplyDeleteHi, I love baking too. Your cakes look amazing. Do you remember where you bought your chocolate stars? I'd love some for my cakes.
ReplyDeleteHi Sally glad you liked the cakes - the stars were some I bought over Christmas and they were Galaxy chocolate hearts in quite a big bag. I think they will be seasonal I wish I had stocked up x
