i set up this wordpress account around easter 2010, after baking hot cross buns (pictured at the top of the page) and regine, my american wife, commenting on the fact that all british baked goods are a variation on the dough+dried fruit+spices theme.
having thought about it a bit, entered those hot cross buns in a taste test against my sister’s (verdict: our spouses are loyal) and feeling like i might not be too terrible a baker after all, i decided to bake my way through all the many varied and wonderful recipes there are that use that wonderful combination of ingredients. and then take photos of them and write about them here.
unfortunately, i used 18 months’ worth of creative energy up thinking of the name of the blog so it’s taken me this long to write anything on it.
…
but being home before the pubs have closed on a saturday night, i’m finally getting round to writing an introduction, and will hopefully write about my recent baking triumph shortly. in the meantime, if you fancy some more baking-based puns, you could do much worse than read my friend sarah’s blog, and in particular, paul’s guest appearance on sourdough baking:
