There is a bit of everything at A Spoonful of Sugar, luckily our host, Angela, has everything tagged and organised making it simple to find her posts on any subject from Baking and Cakes to Restaurant Reviews.  If you love cooking and baking, with the odd decorated cake thrown in, then you will have a great time here.  Be warned this is a huge blog dating back to 2004, so make sure you have some spare time before visiting.

Angela's Description:

I first came across the wonderful world of food blogging in November 2003 when I stumbled across Deb’s wonderful blog. For the first time I realised that I could use the internet to enthuse about food with others...

Pad Thai

23 April 2011

I was introduced to Thai food in the back room of a pub in Hammersmith.  That sounds really dodgy, doesn’t it?  Fear not… the pub was Latymers, which is well-known locally for its slightly incongruous Thai restaurant tucked away in back, and I was meeting Dave there for lunch.  Now ...

Stop! Hammer time!

09 April 2011

If you’re peering at your screen wondering what the hell is that then I’ll forgive you.  But if, on the other hand, you’re sitting there thinking ooooh, awesome, then you too are awesome! This is Dave’s birthday cake, and as per usual it is themed.  This year it is ...

Marmalade buns

05 April 2011

Lucas and I are currently working our way through “A Bear Called Paddington” as his bedtime story and to my delight, he really loves the hungry little bear.  PaddintonBear  was a great favourite of mine as a little girl—he wasn’t as close to my heart as Winnie-the-Pooh, ...

A Smart Cake

28 February 2011

Back in December I was asked to make a surprise cake for my brother-in-law’s 40th birthday.  As the birthday boy wasn’t hugely enthusiastic about turning 40, I decided to knock off that pesky zero and make him a cake that was bright, fun and which his inner four year-old would love. I ...

Christmas Bread

21 December 2010

Christmas and baking go hand-in-hand. As does Christmas and spending time with family. So rather than sequestering myself in the kitchen in glorious isolation, I asked Lucas if he’d like to bake some bread with Mummy (and warned him that it would probably take most of the day.) Those of you ...

Coffee and Comics

15 April 2010

I love creating the perfect birthday cakes for family and friends; whether it’s making their favourite flavour or a “novelty” cake tied into their interest, it’s all great fun.  This year I attempted both for Dave’s birthday… Our weekends often revolve around ...

Rib-eye steak with Chimichurri

21 January 2010

In our house, steak and chips is an irresistible treat and the ultimate in “cheery-uppy” dinners after a hard day at work.  When Dave came home after a thoroughly rubbish day I immediately abandoned my plans for a virtuous (yet delicious!) stir-fry and pulled a couple of beautifully ...

Ten in Ten: Week 3

17 January 2010

This week I have lost four pounds.  I’m really pleased with that, but that’ll be my last big loss for quite a while, I think.  You see, on Phase One of South Beach, you’re essentially doing a detox.  Most of the weight I’ve lost is water weight but I’m pretty sure ...

10 in 10: Week Two!

12 January 2010

First, the good.  I have lost 7 pounds this week, courtesy of Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet getting rid of lots of water retention and maybe a pound or two of fat.  Hooray!  So I’ve lost all my holiday gain in one fell swoop, which is awesome. This week I have been eating Kaylan’s ...

Ten in Ten: Week One

02 January 2010

Hellooooooo, 2010!  And hello, new diet! This year I’m participating in RecipeGirl’s “10 in 10″ challenge—ten weeks of healthy living to start the year off right.  Last year I did really well on the South Beach Diet until I got derailed by a spate of birthdays and ...
