The holidays are finally here! I am going to be away for a week, reading a lot of books and eating a lot of Easter eggs, and I hope your holidays are similarly calm and lovely.

I also have plans to do some baking, and very handily the lovely people at The Happy Foodie have published some of the recipes from Cream Buns and Crime to help you do the same. There’s jam tarts, coconut macaroons and First Class fudge – and they even have an amazing competition that you can enter to WIN a signed set of Murder Most Unladylike books, plus a gorgeous food mixer to help you cook. (Please note: this competition isn’t anything to do with me, and I won’t be picking the winner – that’s up to The Happy Foodie!)

Good luck to everyone who enters – and even if you don’t win, I hope you have a great time baking through the delicious recipes. Bunbreaks all round!
