1. Hi Jane
   I love your recipes! I’ve been trying to find the recipe for the ginger loaf cake you recently posted on Instagram and can’t for the life of me see it. Please could you point me in the right direction? Pregnancy cravings! 😁😍

3. Hi!
   I’m in love with all your desserts they look sooo scrumptious!!
   I was wondering if you do anything with galaxy caramel? Maybe galaxy caramel bars or galaxy caramel millionaires shortbread?
   And any ideas for a bake sale? I’m an amateur wanting to bake for a charity stall without a clue 😂 need help please!

6. Hi Jane. Do you have a mirror glaze recipe or have one you use at all?

      Any tips on eclairs! Try them so many time but they just flop went l take them out of the oven

   2. Have a look at my profiteroles recipe – you need to make sure you open the underneath when they’ve come out to let the steam out!

7. Hi Jane ! I absolutely love baking your recipes! So thank you 🙏🏻 I have a request 🤗 could you please do some dark chocolate and raspberry recipes please? It’s my absolute favorite flavor combo 🤤 like brownies or cupcakes would be awesome 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

8. Hola Jane. Me encantan tus recetas y tu blog sos muy creativa. Vi la galleta en microondas para dos en tu instsgram, y decía que en tu blog encontramos, busco y no encuentro nada😱. Me quedé triste porq me encantaría hacer la receta. Saludos.

   1. Search Microwave Cookie… it’s definitely here!

9. Hey 🙂 I’m going to try one of your recipes, the Lemon Celebration Cake, next week for my partners birthday. Can’t wait to see what it tastes like!

   Reply

   1. I hope you both love it!

   2. It was very yummy indeed! Especially your home made lemon curd recipe. I used the leftover to make lemon curd tarts 🙂
      Also made your chocolate orange cheesecake. Will definitely be making that again!

10. Hi Jane, I’ve made quite a few of your recipes now and they always turn out great! Everybody seems to love them. I wanted to know in your opinion which cocoa powder do you think works best for a really strong chocolatey flavour please? I have spotted Hershey’s which looks good as it’s 100% cocoa – no sugar which I could use for drinks too. Have you used it, would you think it would be too strong in recipes? Thanks in advance

    Reply

    1. I use Barry Cacao Extra Brute which I buy from Makro which is a 100% powder, or Dr Oetker Extra Dark cocoa powder! X

11. Hi, i made your terrys chocloate orange millionaires shortbread, followed every step. The caramel was set lovley in the fridge i took it out to put the choc on top & left to set… when it was ready the caramel was runny can you recommend what i did wrong please? Thanks

    Reply

    1. Oh that sounds a little strange – it shouldn’t be runny? Do you mean it was soft? But it’s always hard to tell for certain until its cut. Put it back in the fridge and it’ll firm a bit.

12. Hello I’ve tried making your slutty brownies and the cook time is 25mins but my brownies do take much longer to make? What could be the cause of this?

    Reply

    1. As the cookie layer doesn’t take too long, and the brownie is technically only a half batch it only takes 25 minutes. The ones in the photos were in for 27 minutes, and were slightly over baked! If yours are taking ages, then your mix is most likely too thin, or your oven is the wrong temp!

    2. Hmmmm… could this be because I ain’t letting the melted choclate cool down for long enough? Could this cause the mixture to be runny?

    3. It shouldn’t be – if you melted the chocolate first, and then whipped the sugar and eggs to a really thick mixture it should be fine. It really shouldn’t take that long to bake. If you didn’t mix it correctly, or the oven temp was off like I said, then thats usually the reason.

13. Jane I just have to say I ADORE your site and I can’t tell you happy I am that you are British and use our measurements because I too hate cups and sacrifice so many recipes because I would rather use grams. Your mini egg fudge has went down such a treat at work one of my fellow colleagues asked me to make him an entire batch for him and his family! Thank you and keep baking! P.s really hoping I win a bread maker! Although no clue where to put it in our already very full kitchen!

14. Hi!
    I need to make a 3 tier cake, would your chocolate sponge recipe work for this?
    I’m new to cake making.
    Look forward to hearing from you.

    1. Hi, I don’t know if anyone has already gotten back to you but I imagine any cake would be suitable for a 3 tier as long as you have the correct supports, dowels and boards in packs to ensure it doesn’t weigh itself down/collapse.

15. I’ve tried quite a few of your recipes now and I have to say I love them all!!! If you ever master a banana bread I would love to see the outcome (: keep up the great work!!! Xx

    Reply

    1. Unfortunately I can’t eat banana so don’t make banana bread! sorry! x

16. Hey Jane
    I need your help! I have offered to try and make a profiterole croqembouche for Xmas dinner and I’ve just tried to make them for a test run and some came out ok and in a good shape but they tasted like Yorkshire puddings 🙈 I know I think I need to cook them for longer but I’m just totally stuck! Can you offer any tips?

    Reply

    1. Oh no!! I should be posting a profiterole recipe next week which you can try out x

17. Hi your recipes are amazing the carrot cake one is my favourite turned out perfectly
    I just wondered with the gluten free version if you could still use oil
    X

    Reply

    1. I haven’t tried that one with oil I’m afraid x

18. Hi Jane,

    I have made a few of your recipes and they have all come out amazing! The chewy chocolate cookies are a massive hit with my work colleagues, I’ve tried a few different cookie recipes before I found your blog and none come close! Also I’ve made a few of your cupcake recipes and everyone says they are the nicest cupcakes they have ever eaten. My new challenge is your chocolate fudge cake. Thanks so much for all the amazing recipes you share, they are by far the best I’ve ever used! Sending lots of baking love from ireland 🇮🇪

    1. Hiya! Awh thank you so much for such a lovely comment!! xx

19. Hi Jane I am a huge fan of yours and work is particularly impressed when I bake one of your recipes.
    I am wondering whether you would be looking at venturing into bakes suitable for diabetics at all. I have a few friends who are diabetics and trust your judgement on delish noms and thought I’d ask. Hope you are well also X

    Reply

    1. Hiya! And thank you! At the moment it’s not something I am looking into doing as I have no knowledge of diabetic friendly baking, and it’s too risky to get it wrong and someone eat something they shouldn’t. I’m sure there are lots of good recipes online that you could use! x

20. Hi Jane
    I made your baileys fudge yesterday and left it in the fridge overnight but it is still really soft. What have I done wrong?

    Reply

    1. It might be that it got a smidge too hot. Did you use the right quantities of dark and milk? If you use a chocolate such as cadburys it can make it a lil’ soft, or just milk for example can make it softer as well.

    2. Thanks Jane. Turns out my hubby brought home evaporated milk not condensed milk! And I didn’t even notice! Trying it again with the RIGHT ingredients

    3. Ahh yes, that would definitely have done it haha! Enjoy!!

    4. Hi Jane, I’ve done your Easter rocky road and it’s so nice! Need to get back into baking whilst on maternity leave, do you have any paperback copies of your recipes that can be purchased? Thank you x

21. Hi Jane,
    I always make your lemon and lime drizzle and it is amazing!!
    I love citrus and I see that you can use oranges which would be amazing, is it the zest and juice of one orange that you use?

    Thanks

    Reply

    1. Yes! Sometimes maybe a bit more zest, but it depends how orangey you want it! x

22. The malteaser drip cake are you using original malt powder or chocolate malt powder ??

    Reply

    1. Original – stronger flavour!

23. Hi Jane, I made your Elton mess cake recently, absolutely gorgeous btw, but I was wondering why you add icing sugar to the cream when you whip it? I tried this and it it turned the cream into a soggy wet mess, ended up using plain whipped cream on the cake instead. Love your blog, keep,up the good work!!

    Reply

    1. Its designed to stabilise the cream and makes it easier to use. I do it on all my cheesecakes as well for the decoration whipped cream. I’m not sure how you got a soggy wet mess unless you over-whipped it x

24. Hi Jane I was just wondering if you had a recipe for nutella stuffed cookies? Thanks xx

    Reply

    1. Not currently, any recipe I have, is on my blog.

25. Hiya. I made your terry’s chocolate orange cheesecake which was amazing. I just wondered whether you’ve got any eggless cupcake/ cake recipes as we don’t eat egg in our house.

    Reply

    1. I don’t I’m afraid as a common substitute is bananas for example which I can’t eat, but I know you can buy egg replacer?

26. Hi Jane, the shortbread looks so neat and tidy after the slicing. Do you use a normal knife or Serrated knife? Any tips on how to slice them? even the Maltesers look straight cut! I’m impressed!

    Reply

    1. I just use a large 26cm ‘normal’ knife. It’s very sharp, so its easier to cut.

27. Hi for the last couple of years I have done one of your no bake cheesecakes you even gave me advice last year on doing an after eight one. Can you advise me on doing a mixed berry one as my husband would like one that has a slightly sharp or tarty side to it thank you.

    Reply

28. Hi, I have made many of your no-bake cheesecakes, so easy to make and love them all! I would love to make your Gingerbread Cheesecake for Xmas but can’t find the recipe, any chance you can share that please?

    Reply

    1. Hiya! My gingerbread cheesecake is available in my Christmas Ebook which is for sale on the shop page of this website! x

    2. Thanks Jane.

29. Is it ok to use Stork instead of butter in most of your recipes? Thanks love x

    Reply

    1. Yes, apart from in buttercream where you MUST use normal unsalted butter. x

30. Hey Jane,

    I have made a few of your cheecakes now that have melted chocolate in them I find when I pour my chocolate in (I keep my stand mixer running while I do it) it ‘siezes’, is this because I have allowed my chocolate chocolate to cool too much or not enough ? Love the reciepes tho so tasty 😍?

    Reply

    1. Your chocolate is slightly too cool – it needs to be a bit warmer ☺️

31. Hi Jane. I wanted to thank you for your wonderful recipes. I follow you on instagram and they are all amazing. I did your individual lemon cheesecakes and Apple crumble cupcakes for an afternoon tea raising money for Macmillan. The guests said they were the best cupcakes they had ever had. Unfortunately I am On a diet but I love to bake so I give my cakes away.

32. Hi Jane!
    I am wanting to make a treat for my partner who is in Afghanistan at the moment! The treat needs to be able to last around a week until it arrives! What would you suggest would be the best to bake?? Also, he’s not a fan of anything with fruit in really, so fruitcakes are a no no! Thankyou

39. Hi Jane! Love your website! About tobtryvyour scones recipe! Can I just ask please , when baking cupcakes, what is your tip on not getting cupcake paper holders that look greasy? Many thanks….

    Reply

    1. It can often depend on which ones you buy for a start, and whether the oven is at the correct temperature. Make sure you use a good type of baking case, you can find links to the ones I use on my cupcake recipes, and if that fails, put a tsp of uncooked rice at the bottom of the muffin tray as it absorbs the grease! x

40. Thank you so much for these recipes, they work! My children and I are absolutely loving our new found love of baking together and actually being able to eat the delicious results!!!! 😉 thank you.
