The weekend saw our village fete! As we are a fairly small village it was held jointly with two other adjoining villages. Perfect weather, lots of lovely stalls and a candy floss machine - yum yum! I was put in charge of manning the cake stall (what a surprise) with lovely Jane where we dutifully sold cupcakes, cakes, flapjacks and punnets of fresh redcurrants for two hours until everything was gone - allowing us to pack up our stall early - what a result! My new enormous cake stand made its first appearance and I thought it looked lovely adorned with pretty cupcakes! The cherry cupcakes were my favourite - with their fizzy cherry decorations - closely followed by the yellow bee cupcakes! We left exhausted but happy and had raised lots of money for a good cause.
PS - sorry for the lack of posts - my internet has decided not to work properly this week : o ( and just won't upload photos...
Welcome
Reaching the final of Masterchef 2007 was a rollercoaster of emotion, with huge highs and lows, but I loved every minute and learnt a huge amount. I owe a great deal to John and Gregg who had faith in my ability when I did not believe in myself. Since competing on the programme my life has changed considerably. I now write cookery columns for two magazines, give cookery demonstrations and am just working on my 13th cook book - unlucky number for some but not for me!!! I love all forms of country cooking, using seasonal and locally sourced produce. This blog is to enable me to share with you a few of my recipes and baking ideas. Enjoy Hannah xxxx

oh lucky villagers! The cherries look good but I'd have snaffled the flying saucer cakes first! t.x
So cute! Yes, I've missed you. )
Ohh what a lucky village to have you baking for it! The cupcakes with flying saucers on look the best to me, but they all look fantastic - I'm not surprised they sold so quickly :)
All look lovely but my fav has to be the cherry cupcakes!
Those cakes are utterly gorgeous!! Fantastic piping work and the icing colours are so beautiful. I wish I had been queuing at your stall to buy some of your cake Hannah :0)
your cupcakes look adorable! how lovely living in a small village where everyone knows each other!
