Brilliant question! My favourite thing to bake is a chocolate and raspberry opera cake which I have made every year for my birthday and Christmas for the past 5 years, so its a special cake.
This cake has 4 layers of chocolate joconde sponge (thin almond based cake which is actually named after the Mona Lisa) with a raspberry syrup soaked into it, then 2 layers of white chocolate and raspberry ripple French buttercream, 1 layer of dark chocolate buttercream and shiny chocolate ganache on top, with maybe some glitter covered raspberries! It’s called an opera cake because its supposed to look like the Paris opera house, as there are 4 areas to sit in and 4 tiers in the cake.

Hi, my favourite thing to bake are pumpkin spiced late cupcakes! They’re made in the same way as a carrot cake, but use pumpkin and coffee instead of carrot 🙂

I’m not much of a baker, and I’m not even sure you can class it as proper baking, but I love making brownies! I always slightly underbake them so they’re more fudgey than cakey – cannot be beaten!

I love making muffins! Chocolate chip are my favouite. The trouble is my cats also like cake!!! They are a bit naughty and try and steal them!!
