It was only last week that I shared my first ever milkshake recipe here on What Charlotte Baked, and it was so good that I’m back for a second bash at it. And as promised, I’m stepping up the Easter this week. Meet my Cadbury Mini Egg milkshakes: I’m going to come straight out…

Cherry Bakewell Slices
I’m bringing you some full on British springtime today, even if the snow ruined my weekend. Yep, cancelled plans are part and parcel of living in the UK in March apparently. But not having my friends come to stay meant that I could clock some extra hours in the world’s smallest kitchen and bake some Cherry…
Mint Chocolate M&M Cookies
Happy *almost* St Patrick’s Day! I’ve got friends staying this weekend, so I’m getting my Irish on a little early this year. In addition to the thick, creamy, and (most importantly) green Grasshopper Pie Milkshake that I shared on Wednesday, I also broke out the mint M&Ms I brought back with me from Florida and…
Grasshopper Pie Milkshakes
I plan all my recipes waaay far ahead of time. I’ve got recipes penciled into my planner as far into the future as next January. Weirdly, planning what I’m going to bake is probably one of the most fun aspects of running a baking blog, second only to actually getting into the kitchen and whipping…
Maltesers Tiffin
As with all my bakes in the last few weeks, there’s a Florida-inspired story behind today’s recipe. We flew out to Orlando from London Gatwick, and got to experience the calming atmosphere of Virgin Holiday’s V-Room lounge before our flight. If you know me IRL at all, you’ll know that I absolutely hate flying. It’s…
Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cupcakes
Weirdly, today’s recipe was inspired by a little packet of snack mix that I saw when I was wondering around the aisles of Walmart, on our trip to Florida last month (which it turns out you can buy in the UK too). Reese’s Snack Mix has pretzel bites, peanuts, Reese’s Pieces candy, and little peanut…
Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake
Because spring is here (apparently), I’ve been doing a spot of spring cleaning around here. If you’re a regular reader of this blog then you might just notice a couple of changes to the homepage – you’ll now be able to find seasonal categories when you first arrive here, as well as my latest posts…
Hummingbird Sheet Cake
Today’s recipe was incredibly hard to photograph. I’m not sure why, but there’s something about a hummingbird sheet cake that just doesn’t come across well on screen. Too much brown and beige I think. It’s basically the cake version of me – as soon as you point a camera at either of us, everything just…
Marshmallow Rice Krispies Mickey Mouse Pops
After our epic trip to Walt Disney World a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t help getting in the kitchen and putting the Mickey Mouse sandwich cutter I purchased at the unbelievably massive World of Disney store to good use! Because who doesn’t love Rice Krispies treats – and I bet you’ve never seen Rice…
Key Lime Pie (with Ginger Biscuit Crust)
If forced to choose I would probably pick something chocolatey as my all-time favourite dessert. Maybe a black forest gateau, or a chocolate torte. And I’d be wrong. Because when it comes to puddings, the one that holds the key to my heart is a zesty and sharp key lime pie. There’s nothing better than…
Valentine’s Hearts & Lips Bark
Happy Valentine’s Day to all you lovely people out there, whatever your relationship status. Because if there is one thing out there we can all get heart-eyes over, it’s chocolate, right? I’ve got the perfect last-minute recipe for you today, just in case you’re like me and somehow completely forgot it was Valentine’s Day today….
Raspberry White Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, and if you’ve completely forgotten (or have just got back from an amazing holiday in Florida and forgot all about it) then have I got the cookies for you! Side note: these cookies also work for non-romantic occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, Fridays… Basically, these raspberry white chocolate sugar…
Cherry Amaretto Fudge
February’s pretty much here, and with it brings a whole host of pink things. Yep, it’s going to be all hearts and chocolate around here for the next couple of weeks. You may say that all this pink is just me trying to hide from the fact that I’m turning 30 in 5 days. You’d…
Sticky Toffee Bundt Pudding
Oh my gosh, this is what dreams are made of. A gorgeous sticky toffee pudding – in a bundt pan. With an easy toffee sauce that even a caramel novice can master. It’s what this cold January has been begging for! So yeah, I finally got myself a bundt tin. Well, it was actually a…
Toasted White Chocolate Mocha
It’s absolutely freezing in the northern hemisphere right now, and no where more-so than in my bathroom (aka the ice box). And that’s why I’m putting off my much-needed shower to bring you all this most wintery of all drinks – the toasted white chocolate mocha. Yes, it’s a bit Christmassy. And yes, it was…
Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies (Gluten Free!)
I’ve got a pretty magical recipe for you today – oatmeal peanut butter cookies that are made without any flour at all! Nope, none of that gluten-free flour either. I’m talking naturally GF cookies that are also one of the easiest recipes on my blog, and don’t even need any chilling. Plus, lots of nutritious…
Cherry Bakewell Smoothie Bowl (aka Dessert for Breakfast!)
It’s January now, so here’s the compulsory ‘healthy’ breakfast recipe. But, just because something’s got some vitamins and goodness inside it, doesn’t mean it’s not allowed to be yummy and taste like pudding. Plus, I’m always on the hunt for sneaky ways to eat dessert for breakfast. New Year, same old me. What’s a smoothie…
Birthday Cake Sundae (with Birthday Cake Ice Cream)
Well, good riddance 2017. Actually, although this past year has had some hideous moments globally, it’s been a pretty fantastic year for this blog. I’ve posted pretty much consistently throughout 2017, with only a small wobble in December (you can read all about that here). And I’ve had so many more views, comments, tweets, and…
Ferrero Rocher Brownies
In my last essay post I promised that normal service would be resumed as soon as possible, and here it is: Ferrero Rocher Brownies. You guys seem to be loving last year’s Ferrero Rocher Pavlova recipe a whole lot this festive season, and so I couldn’t resist breaking open a box of my favourite Christmas chocolates and…
Christmas Pudding Cookies (Dark Gingerbread)
Spoiler alert – a recipe for delicious gingerbread cookies that look like little Christmas puddings. And lots of chat about failing, stress, and picking yourself back up. If you’re just here for the recipe, then skip to the bottom! I had such big plans for Christmas on this blog. There was going to be a…
Mulled Winter Punch (Non-Alcoholic)
[AdSense-B] This week marks the arrival of the Bath Christmas Market to town. It’s one of the highlights of the festive season for anyone who lives here, and it means that my evenings will be spent meandering between the cute little wooden huts, eating mince pies and drinking hot chocolate. This might be the last Christmas…
Toblerone Hot Chocolate
[AdSense-B] Today’s recipe is served with a side order of sadness. Cue X-Factor style sob-story music. Three Christmases ago something magical happened. I walked into my neighbourhood Starbucks, ready to get myself into the festive spirit and drink something seasonal from one of those gorgeous red cups, and noticed something magical on the menu –…
Candy Cane Chocolate Bark
[AdSense-B] It seems like every baking blog out there has their own recipe for candy cane chocolate bark. It’s pretty much a Christmas staple, and that’s because it: a) is easy to make b) is pretty as hell c) tastes gorgeous and d) makes a really great Christmas gift for anyone who likes chocolate (and…
Gingerbread Cupcakes with Maple Buttercream
I think it’s safe to say the festivity has stepped up a gear in the last few days – Christmas adverts are on TV, Starbucks Red Cups are back (and not very red at all) and I spent Sunday afternoon wrapping some actual Christmas presents. Yeah, and then there’s these gorgeous little gingerbread cupcakes, topped…
