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! ♥

I made your millionaires cookie bars for our Macmillan coffee morning at work and they were AMAZING!! Definitely a new favourite that I will be making again.
Hi Jane,
I’ve recently started looking through your website and have fell in love with your recipes! haven’t tried any for myself yet but I intend to in the not too distant future. Just a quick question, when I bake and use buttercream, I usually use a 1:2 / 1:3 ration of butter to icing sugar however when I’ve finished mixing, the buttercream is quite runny and when I pipe the cake it’s even worse, I’ve tried adding more and more icing sugar and this just doesn’t seem to do anything, I didn’t know if this was to do with the brand of butter I’m using? What butter and icing sugar do you use for your butter cream as it always looks perfect! It never seems to move around either when you place the second sponge on top which is another issue i tend to have, any advice would be much appreciated, Thanks in advance, Ellie x
Hey! In general, it’s a rule of 1:2 of butter to icing sugar, and then any flavourings etc, but you can see all the recipes on my various posts! What brand of butter are you using? I use unsalted butter (as mentioned in all recipes), and unsalted butter = the kind wrapped in foil from the supermarket. Supermarket own branded butter, that is SOLID when in the fridge. You should never use anything from a tub such as stork or a baking spread for buttercream! x
Hiii, I have just seen your amazing website as I have been looking for a long time for something nice to make, and I seriously cannot pick what to make for my boyfriend, it’s the first time I’m cooking for him and everything on your website just looks so gooodd. Whats the best thing you’d recommend for me to make? What’s your favourite thing out of everything?😋
I love my new Millionaires Cookie Bars – but they’re a lot more effort! My Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cookies are great.
Hey! Your cakes are so perfectly leavel! do you use any particular level or reccomed one? My cakes never match up when stacked?
If your cakes are quite out, you might want to check your oven as it doesn’t sound like the heat is circulating very well – but either way I just use a long knife! x
Hi Jane,
Terry’s Chocolate Orange Brownies……..wow! Easy to understand and follow. Jogging may have to increase now as I anticipate a calorie increase in our household.
Officially my favourite website!
I love all your recipies so much! The biscoff rocky road was a big hit and everyone loved them! I love being creative with baking so it’s anazing to find someone with such creative recipies that I can follow! Keep doing what your doing! Your AMAZING!!!!
Your recipes never fail me….just made the Kinder cookie bars….OMG! They will definitely be a hit with the family coming over tonight….that’s if they last that long 😏 I’ve made a few of your recipes & they always turn out well & I always get comments on how delicious they are….keep up the good work…you’re my go to website for a good cake/dessert recipe! x
Ahh thats so lovely of you to say, thank you!! xx
Just came across your blog as I was searching for a crunchie dessert. It was so easy to follow and turned out so so well that ur blog is now my “go to” when hunting for a new idea. I’m determined to try your cinnamon doughnut recipe this weekend!! Far to many recipe bloggers out there whose recipes don’t seem to actually work but urs certainly does!
I am so looking forward to trying this cheesecake sometime in the near future! I just love cheesecake but mom doesn’t !! Hmmm might have to rethink this!!! Sure I will try this though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have recently come across your Instagram through someone else I follow. Amazing stuff!!! I just made your candy cane brownies and they’re fabulous! Thank you and I hope to try many more things. Love the website, is so pretty and all things yummy!
OMG!! Just found your site and just made the Biscoff fudge!! Amazing!!
Hi Jane, I’m a student and avid baker and have recently started my own blog of recipes. I wondered what your top tips were to grow your blog? Thank you:)
Hard work basically! A lot of hard work.
Hi Jane,
I have used your reciepes a number of times and have enjoyed the results. Have you ever tried making a christmas pudding cheesecake?
Thank you!! Currently I haven’t, as I’m not the biggest Christmas Pudding fan.. I am going to be working on one though soon but have nothing to offer you yet! X
I have just made your salted caramel cake and oh my god it was amazing! I am renowned as being a blimmin awful cook/baker (and have even had birds refuse to eat my ‘masterpieces’ once they’ve been thrown out on the lawn as unfit for human consumption (according to my friends and family. However, your recipe is foolproof! It’s the best cake I’ve ever made and even had help from my 3 year old! Thank you so so much! X
Ahh that makes me so happy! I’m so glad you liked it!! xx
Hi, just wondering if the sweet treat volume are in book form or is it downloaded to iPad or tablet
They’re ebooks so are downloads.
Can they be printed then? Thanks for your reply, just can’t believe I’ve found such an amazing website, recipes are amazing, you’ve made baking so easy
Yes they can be printed at home – its what many people have done 😊 And thank you! xx
Hi Jane this website is amazing and I have spent hours ever since I found it just reading all the different recipes and can’t wait to try them. What would be your advice on setting up a business in the baking industry as it’s something I’m interested in I’m only at high school now but I already have such a passion about any tips you could give would be very much appreciated x
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

Any tips?
I think you should apply for the next Great British Bake Off, you’d be perfect and amazing on it! 🙂

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
