. rainbOw sprinkles . & . mini bAkers .

so weekTwo of the bAke Off saw the departure of marie, who was stAr bAker in weekOne . it just shows what a fickle business this baking lark is . one week you can't put a whisk wrong & the next week it's biscuits . { well, it literally was biscuits as it happens, but you know what i mean ? } .

i'm still loving baking along & even excited about bread week next week . bread isn't something of a strong point for me . but as it's quick breads for the signature bake i'm quite looking forward to looking for new flavour combinations . i have a lovely recipe for a spinach & feta bread which is just perfect for adapting & trying something different with . so stay posted !

in the meantime i've been looking at some lovely things for all those aspiring mInI Great British Bakers out there . baking is something i've done since i was a little One . & . i loved baking alongside my mum . starting out with those simple . but super cute . classics of jam tarts . fairy cakes . with the obligatory pastel icing & rainbow bright sprinkles . 

there is so much inspiration out there now to inspire your little Ones to get involved in baking . although some things remain the same . 

i think that's the cUe for the sprInkles !
