Another of Mary Berry’s cakes: Red Velvet Cake! Love the light, cocoa flavoured sponges and cream cheese icing, a a delicious combination 😋 #redvelvetcake #cake #baking #maryberry #yummy

I’d love to take credit for this delicious, light, fluffy Victoria sponge, but actually it was made by Mr Hen to celebrate our wedding anniversary 🥰 #cake #victoriasponge #baking #wedding #anniversary

A slice of cake and a cup of tea can’t be beaten 🍰☕️ I love making Madeira cake when I’d like cake but have no energy for the decoration 😅 #cake #yummy #madeiracake #baking

Mary Berry’s Lemon Meringue Pie 🍋🥧 really easy and fun to make, with a buttery base, deliciously tangy centre and fluffy meringue ☺️ #yummy #lemonmeringuepie #maryberry

This is a new favourite of mine, it’s the easiest focaccia I’ve ever made! It’s such a simple recipe, and the timings are so flexible ☺️ #focaccia #baking #bread

My first ever vegan cake! Vegan Victoria sponge for a celebration at church yesterday ☺️ pleased to say it was lighter and tastier than I had expected! 🎂🍰🍓#baking #vegan #veganbaking #victoriasponge #yummy #celebrate

My first plaited loaf! I was pleased with how it held its shape ☺️ not much can beat a good chunk of toast with a cup of tea ☕️ #bread #baking #yummy #dough

Mary Berry’s Pear and Blueberry galette 🍐🫐 so easy and quick to make and brilliant for a crowd ☺️ #baking #maryberry #galette #blueberry #pear #yummy

I made brownies using the Colin the Caterpillar brownie kit and the faces disappeared into the mixture 🙈 fun to make and delicious to eat but not quite how I’d intended them to look 😂 #baking #brownies #colinthecaterpillar #yummy #tasty #treat

Who doesn’t love a Yorkshire pudding? ☺️ #yorkshire #pudding #yummy #baking

A new home feels far more homely when there’s a freshly baked batch of cookies 🍪 ☺️ #baking #newhome #henhouse #cookie #chocolate #yummy

I love chocolate brownies with a cracked top and fudgey middle 🍫 how do you like your brownies? ☺️ #chocolate #brownies #yummy #baking

A Baking Hen first 🐓 I made these choco chip cookies without scales and by following the recipe from memory ☺️ a lot of estimating, but they seemed to work💃 #baking #cookies #chocolate

Few puddings are better for a crowd than Mary Berry’s pavlova ☺️ so convenient to make; the meringue can be whipped up the day before and left to cool in the oven overnight, then cream whipped and berries added before serving 🫐 #maryberry #meringue #pudding #dessert #berries

Cookies are a firm favourite in the hen house 🍪 crammed full of chocolate chips, gooey, and very moorish ☺️ #baking #cookies #chocolate #dough

Mary Berry’s lemon drizzle cake is wonderful 🍋 light, fluffy, zingy, easy to make and perfect for sharing ☺️ #maryberry #lemon #lemondrizzle #yummy #baking #cake

The first bake in a long time, of course it had it a simple loaf of bread 🍞 4 ingredients but so delicious and comforting ☺️ #baking #yummy #bread #dough #joy #restful

@MatthewWhitti18 @thebakingnanna1 @Rob_C_Allen Thank you! ☺️

@TheBakingHen @thebakingnanna1 @Rob_C_Allen Good coronation rolls.

Lemon, sage and cayenne pepper sausage rolls made with homemade puff pastry as a treat while watching the Coronation 👑☺️ #puffpastry #sausagerolls #baking #yummy #coronation #twitterbakealong #FitForAKing #cotswoldsflour #kitchenaid_uk @thebakingnanna1 @Rob_C_Allen

@tarquinmorgan @thebakingnanna1 @Rob_C_Allen We have 1 or 2 left! 😋

@TheBakingHen @thebakingnanna1 @Rob_C_Allen Are there any leftovers please?

Can you guess which corner of our oven is the hottest? I would prefer it if our oven baked evenly but colour fade is quite pleasing 😅 #sausagerolls #baking #pastry
