Biscoff is always a risky product. It tastes AMAZING, but it can also send me into diabetic shock within a few mouthfuls because it is such an overpowering flavour. This means that whenever a receipe includes Biscoff, I know I am unlikely to finish the whole thing because the Biscoff will defeat me. I do … Continue reading Lola’s biscoff cupcake

Lola’s red velvet cupcake
I have always found cupcakes to be a 'hit or miss' food for me. Either there is too much icing to cupcake ratio, or the cake itself is too dry so the whole thing falls apart as soon as you try to eat it, or the icing is so sickly and overpowering that all you … Continue reading Lola’s red velvet cupcake
Crosstown and John Whaite rainbow scroll
This doughnut was created in collaboration with John Whaite as part of a charity initiative to raise money for 'akt' as part of their Pride events in 2024. I tried this about two weeks ago, in August. Here in the UK, Pride Month is held in June, however Crosstown state on their website that their … Continue reading Crosstown and John Whaite rainbow scroll
Ben’s Cookies vegan double chocolate
A new try whilst in London recently. I have had this before but this was the first time I remembered to take pictures so I could actually comment on it properly. I know that Ben's Cookies have a presence around the UK, but I can only find one if I go into London. On this … Continue reading Ben’s Cookies vegan double chocolate
Little Pudding apple crumble cinnamon bun
I think that food may have peaked. My husband and I decided to have a little explore of London the other week and to go down some of the side alleys we have always walked past but never actually explored. I may be a little biased here, but I think London is truly one of … Continue reading Little Pudding apple crumble cinnamon bun
Laduree chocolate raspberry macaron
Despite what this blog may suggest, my favourite thing in the entire food world is a French macaron. I could eat these all day, every day and never ever get sick of them. Annoyingly, vegan versions are very hard to come across but when I find any, I will push a queue out of the … Continue reading Laduree chocolate raspberry macaron
Dunkin Donuts Boston creme
I see a lot online about how a Boston Creme doughnut is the best doughnut in America. Here in the UK, you don't really get anything with Boston Creme, so I can't really comment on whether or not that may be true. But luckily Dunkin' Donuts came through and has finally brought the beloved Boston … Continue reading Dunkin Donuts Boston creme
Dunkin Donuts original glaze
I know that Dunkin Donuts is an American brand, but we have had a few Dunkin stores in the UK for at least 10 years at this point. Annoyingly though, for years they never offered anything vegan so I never had any real need to visit a local Dunkin store since I knew I couldn't … Continue reading Dunkin Donuts original glaze
Ben’s Cookies vegan chocolate chunk
It is actually pretty hard to find a good vegan cookie these days. Now I don't mean biscuits - like you're bourbons, Jammie Dodgers, Pink Panthers etc - I mean actual cookies. Like the homemade kind. I have found that very few places offer a proper cookie, and those that do tend to be either … Continue reading Ben’s Cookies vegan chocolate chunk
Mr Pretzels vegan Cinnamon sugar pretzel
Soft pretzels are not a big thing here in the UK and there are only (at least from what I have seen during my time) a few places that even offer these. I know they are quite a big thing in America, but here in the UK we tend to favour the hard, crunchy pretzels. … Continue reading Mr Pretzels vegan Cinnamon sugar pretzel
