Hi,
I’m Jane, and I am attempting to make a career and life for myself through baking and cooking.
I adore baking and cooking, probably too much, but I haven’t been able to find anything else in life that takes my fancy more. Now that I am 25 and have graduated from Ashburton Chefs Academy in June 2014 as a trained chef, I am attempting to explore the world of all things food, and share it all with as many people as possible.
One of the biggest secrets about me? I actually prefer savoury food. However, I love to experiment with all things sweet. Hopefully in the future I will branch out into Savoury Food, more Gluten-Free & Vegan recipes, and even vlogging on my Youtube channel!
I love to research in to recipes daily, and experiment, so I hope you like the results! I try recipes from Celebrity Chef’s, other Food Bloggers, and just recipes I come across whether in a magazine, or on the internet! Some experimentations don’t work quite so well, but others work truly brilliantly and have amazing feedback from my Trusty Taste Testers.
I love that when you find the basics of a recipe, such as a No-Bake Vanilla Cheesecake, you can experiment to the ends of the Earth with different flavours and ideas. Baking and Cooking is all about Science and Chemistry at the end of the day, and I love it.
If you ever have any questions about my recipes, or a recipe request for example, feel free to comment below or email me at janespatisserie@gmail.com. You can find my recipes on my Recipes Page above, or feel free to search a recipe on my blog and see if I have it, or an alternative will show up for you!
Thank you for stopping by on my blog, HAPPY BAKING! ♥

Hi Jane,
Amazing website and recipes are fab!
I was just wondering what piping kit you use- is it easy for a beginner to piping and any tips?
Thanks xx
Hiya! Thank you. I don’t really use a piping kit, I buy all the bits separately, some from amazon, some from Iced Jems. On most recent posts such as my cheesecakes the items are linked to the exact ones I use! x
Hi Jane!
I just recently came across your page and youtube channel and feeling so so inspired as I LOVE to bake and hoping to make a career out of it. I am too a sucker of no bake cheesecakes so when I found your page it was like a dream! I can’t wait to try your cheesecake recipes, however I must ask- how long do they normally sit out for? I find that when I make my no bake cheesecakes they can’t sit out for too long and they would melt over time so it makes it abit difficult for me to be at peace (worried they will eventually melt) especially for when i serve them at an event (as it would be sitting out for quite awhile) and for times when I sell them and get them delivered to somewhere quite far.
You are an inspiration!
Thanks so much for sharing your recipes xxx
I leave mine out for a maximum amount of time of 30minutes whilst I take my photos, as it is a refrigerated item. Eventually yes they will melt, because they need to be kept in the fridge as stated on the recipes. Also, the food will probably go off, because they’re a cold item. xx
Hi Jane!
I love making cheesecakes for family & friends and you inspire me with all your recipes (the Malteser one was a big hit!).
I currently make everything by hand and am looking to invest in a stand mixer. Would you mind letting me know the mixer you use please?
Love the blog and subscribe to your YouTube channel. Look forward to seeing some more recipes
Hiya! Ahh thank you so much for making them! I’m glad everyone enjoys them! And I use a Kitchenaid, 4.8L in size. It’s the main size version you can buy in most places, but they are a bit pricey! However, I’ve had mine 5 years, and its had no issues at all so far considering daily use! x
That’s great, thanks for letting me know. I’ll take a look and see how much they are. Sounds like a worthwhile investment though if you’ve had daily use over 5 years?!
All the very best and look forward to reading more posts and recipes x
Yes definitely if you bake quite often, I would say they are 100% worth it! And some colours can be quite a bit cheaper! and thank you! x
Hi i was wondering if it woukd still work if i needed this for 18 people and just added a half of the ingredients onto original amount in larger tin or would it make a difference..thanks x
Hiya – not sure which recipe you’re talking about im afraid as this is on my about page? x
As a newbie to baking, this blog has been my absolute bible!
I love the huge range of recipes and how they incorporate all the best things (for me it’s gin and Terry’s choc orange!!). There’s a recipe for everyone! Thank you so much Jane! Your blog has been so much better than traditional cook books and my friends and family are loving my attempts at your recipes haha 🙂
Ahh thank you so so much!! xxx
i love all your cakes and also i love everything else
lots of love
fiona brown
love it amazing cakes and love the you tube channel

I got it from a lovely lady called Morgane Carlier who you can check out on Facebook!
You’re glamorously amazing! 🌈
Thanks for being awesome :p
As a fourteen-year-old girl taking GCSE food, i was very happy to find this blog.
I’m hoping to, one day, do pretty much what you’re doing. I’ve tried several of your recipes and they’re awesome… just like you :p
Any tips?
I think you should apply for the next Great British Bake Off, you’d be perfect and amazing on it! 🙂
Awh thank you! Unfortunately I can’t as I’m a trained professional chef so I’m not allowed!
Thanks so much for your blog Jane I have truly discovered a hidden gem when it comes to sweet recipes! I loved your truffle and no bake cheesecake recipes especially xxx
Awwh thank you! ❤️ xx
Hey Jane!
The blog looks lovely.
It’s great to find people who share such great passion for food <3

Classic full fat recipes. That’s all I needed to read to know this is a great blog.
Hehehe thanks! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with others posting about lower-fat etc, but I love posting about Full-Fat and delightful recipes hehe!
Hi Jane 🙂 I just stumbled across your blog looking for Christmassy baking recipes on Pinterest – not sure where I’ve been, everything looks amazing!! I used to love to bake tho I haven’t done it in a long time & feeling quite inspired to try and get back into it now! Just wanted to let you know I thought your blog looks fab & I’ll hopefully try some of your recipes! Laura 🙂 x

Hi Jane,
Just love your recipes, I’m not 22 but how I wish lol. Even at my age you can inspire so keep it up. Never to old to learn. I love decorating cakes, doing a Elmo cake for one of my grandson 1st birthday. Wish you all the best and your dream will come true, it just take believing it!! <3
Ohh I love elmo, that’ll be an amazing cake! And thank you! ❤️
I never realised how similar we are, Jane! I’m also from the south (west) of England, I’m almost 21 and a (fake) ginger! Not to mention our shared love of all things cake haha… Crazy 🙂
Ohh whereabouts in the south west?? I went to Ashburton Cookery School in Ashburton Devon to train, but live in Hampshire so riiiight in the middle of the south coast haha’ and this is so cool! ?
Well I’m at uni in Exeter which is really near to Ashburton but come home to Somerset in the holidays 🙂 I know so cool! Are the courses there good? I’m going to assume from the quality of your bakes that they are haha 🙂
Ohh I went in to Exeter like every weekend! ? that’s so nice! And yes it’s all insanely amazing from the day courses to the professional diploma which I did – amazing! And awwwh haha thanks! I love your blog though, everything you post makes me so hungry!!
It’s a lovely city, so happy I got to go there for uni! ? ahh brilliant, I’ll keep them in mine then possibly for the future – thank you! I could say the exact same thing about yours, I’ve actually just made an orange ice cream inspired by your no-churn recipes 🙂 thank you!
Ooh that sounds yummy! And yay! ☺️
hey. Lovely blog. Yummy looking food. Will definitely try them and let u know how they turn out.
Thank you!

Hi Jane, thanks for vising us and liking my post on Timpana, the Maltese pasta pie
I guess Ashburton has changed a lot from when I used to visit when I was growing up in Christchurch, back then it was a pretty boring one horse town.
I love baking too, it was my first love really, and it’s so hard to choose from all your lovely recipes, but the White Chocolate and Cranberry biscuits sound fab! Two of my favourite ingredients (and my daughter Bunny’s too!) Off the make some right now!
Thanks Mimsey
Its okay, your post looked really tasty and interesting!! I adore Ashburton, the town is still cute, quirky and tiny but the cookery school is probably the heart of it, absolutely amazing! And thank you so much that’s so sweet!
I hope you like the cookies!! Let me know how it goes!!
Jane x
We made ’em and we ate ’em – too quick!!
Thanks Jane!
Mims
Yayyy haha sounds perfect to me!! x
