If you do try your hand at making them, they may also come in handy for an upcoming Valentine's Day treat too! All you'll need are a few heart cutters and a little jam. Other cookie alternatives, you may wish to try adding to the recipe are 'sprinkles' which will add lots of colours, choc chips for chocolatey goodness, apricots or cranberries for a little zing etc. or you could simply use glace icing or pipe them. However, you decorate them, be sure to...

After watching TV last night and catching a real-time advert, I was delighted to see footballing legend Harry Redknapp in a fabulous Roly Poly advert. Now for those of you that don't know it was the only thing that kept Harry going in the celebrity jungle. That and the love of his life, Sandra! So in honour of his favourite pudding, he has now put together a website with Go Daddy. Harry's Roly Polys are currently available at harrysrolypolys.uk to raise money for charity. Good on you, Harry!

A beautiful bride with her beautiful cake. I really love the autumnal theme and colours of this cake and the inclusion of ivy which pays homage to their 'Ivy Cottage' home. Sophie Cabot who made the cake has been extremely busy this week in the kitchens of Kensington Palace. Not only is the cake 5 tier it contains approximately 53 packs of butter, 20 kilo's of sugar, over 400 eggs and 15 kilos of organic flour! The autumn/fall theme continues on the inside with the flavours being made up of Red Velvet and Chocolate tiers. The cake oozes sophistication and is very current with the seasons. I wish the Princess and her husband Jack and extremely happy life together.
