I've seen how just how outraged people can really get over this 😡. Get a life :rolleyes:. Some nudes posted here too... Cuthbert the Caterpillar has a lot to answer for.

Over the weekend, I heard on the radio that people were trying their utmost to melt a Cadbury's Flake in the microwave to non-avail. Curious by their plight, I thought I too, would test the theory of whether you can actually do it. I'm all for an experiment or two, and seeing as chocolate melts on the tip of your tongue or the end of your finger, surely a Flake would be no different in the microwave. Well, you'd think so, wouldn't you? After rummaging around the chocolate cupboard, I came up with a Multipack Flake Bar weighing 20 grams and quickly set about stripping off the wrapper and putting the flake into a bowl. I was going to keep it full size but decided to break it in half. As you can see, there are two chunky pieces and...

I've just stumbled across this article about Ben Fullard, aka Ben The Cake Man and his incredibly life-like flowers. Ben confirmed that he's taken inspiration from his garden during the lockdown and decided to recreate everything floral. He's made Roses, Clematis, Magnolias, Orchids and Ferns and explains that it can take up to 3 days to perfect a single flower or numerous weeks to provide a spray. He says that to make them as life-like as possible, he draws around the petals to form his own templates, so he has life-like sizes to work with. Looking at the pictures, I'm sure you'll agree he is massively talented and many thanks for sharing your talents with us...

A new coronavirus vaccine centre came up with a unique way of celebrating when its doors opened up recently.

Wow! I've just been perusing Facebook and noticed this beautiful cake pop up on my friend's feed. After a bit more searching I've found that the super talented Rosie Cake Diva was the one who sent this lifesized HUG to our wonderful NHS and healthcare workers at the Royal Bolton Hospital as a thank you to all the key workers who have been working tirelessly for us especially this year. There's not more much info on the cake except that Renshaw Baking, Sweet Success Sugarcraft and Aldi UK were attributed to the support of making of it and the real Santa was not harmed when the cake was eaten. If however, you'd like to see it all in one piece then the cake will be making an appearance on Amazing Cakes and Bakes - Channel 5 on 12...

Yes! It's that time again for all you dunkers, nibblers and devourers of one of life's most satisfying treats! Happy Biscuit Day! Whoop whoop! So to pay homage to this fabulous celebration, I thought I would put together a few biscuit facts before the kettle boils and you're off hunting through the cupboard to find your own delectable treats.

To be honest, I was hoping to avoid the subject altogether and lived in the hope that we would get back to some sort of normality much quicker. However, it has become apparent that as time moves on, it's clear that COVID-19 isn't going away anytime soon and will eventually form part of our history. So, with that in mind, it's now time to buckle down, socially distance ourselves and try to stay sane in these uncertain times. In doing so, I've put together some facts to help keep you occupied for five minutes and explain how the benefits of baking will help you stay positive, if only for a short...
