When you’re first getting into cake decorating, it’s easy to be fooled into thinking you need a million special tools to create a professional looking cake. Well STOP RIGHT THERE. Before you go rushing to Lakeland (the motherland), and break the bank on a turntable, airbrush and edible pigments, give this no tools Easter cake a whirl. This super cute Easter cake is a great one to make with young sprogs because no special tools or skills are needed, what a win! Now before you all start coming for me, I did use a piping bag (I know, the shame), but no nozzle and the same effect can be achieved ..read more

Being from manny (well not really but I say I am when I’m on holiday) we love a good bee. So for my mum’s big bday bash I thought there’d be nothing better than a bee themed honey cake! Layers of honey cake, with honey cream cheese buttercream AND a honey butterscotch drip all topped off with lots of bee goodies. I may have gone overboard but I feel like too much is never enough – am I right or am I right? Anyway on to the kitchen goss… Kitchen goss I used to be a sick sledger back in the day, so at the start of the year I took the plunge and joined snowboarding society. In hindsight signing ..read more

Nobody under the age of 65 actually likes Christmas cake, but it’s a tradition in our house to rustle one up every year. This was last year’s crimbo cake – a cheeky little covid reindeer At the time I thought this would make a fun ironic post for this year, but as I’m sat in iso in my oodie and a Santa hat, the joke is well and truly on me Sad but still cute x Kitchen goss The real tragedy of the story is that I’ll have to wait to get my paws on the Christmas treats cupboard. Normally I’m plumping up nicely for at least a week and a half before the big day. Honestly never craved a chipolata ..read more

Well that was a mouthful and a half wasn’t it. Talking about mouthfuls, get your laughing gear around this guilt free cheesecake… Okay the squirty cream and oreos don’t count in the low cal part you caught me – but it is MOSTLY healthy, and the oreos are mini so they basically don’t count. The magic ingredient in these bad boys is quark. The name makes it sound revolting, but it is actually a high protein, low fat soft cheese and the slimming world peeps are all over it like a rash. If you’re wanting to cut the cals on any creamy dish – quark is your boy. Kitchen Goss Ok not to be dramatic bu ..read more

I know what you’re thinking – Han doing a low calorie dessert?!?! It was hard for me to believe too – the transition from blue milk to green was tough enough, but now I am fully embracing the healthy lifestyle (minus my chicken selects cravings once a week). The fact I would get hunted down by my mum’s slimming world group if I so dared to serve a full fat dessert was also weighing heavy on my mind (pardon the pun) #synner. First of all apologies for the big boy break I’ve taken from baking and blogs – not to get all deep and philosophical but I feel like ‘kitchen goss’ really wasn’t quite me ..read more

Everyone likes cookies, everyone likes crinkles, and my housemate Issy likes gluten free things so she doesn’t have explosive diarrhoea, so these bad boys were a solid hit all round. They aren’t your typical chewy cookie, or a snap biccie, so if that’s what you’re craving, leave now. These little norts are crispy on the outside and fudgey in the middle (more brownie sort of vibes) and they are absolutely deeeeeeeeelish. I was always one to stay away from gluten free baking because I thought they always tasted a bit bob, but honestly these have converted me. Buckle up for an influx of gluten f ..read more

Cookie + jaffa cakes + brownie + Terry’s chocolate orange = a lot of layers, a lot of fun. Everybody loves a classique brownie, but honestly these are just on another level.
