Hooray what a super week - it was my birthday this week, it was my sister's birthday the day after, my friend had a lovely wedding celebration and it’s a bank holiday weekend here in England. So lots of lovely things happening! For a celebration breakfast, I decided to go for french toast with berries.

After a very chocolatey weekend of egg hunting and chocolate spread making from last week’s blog, I felt like baking something fruity and non chocolatey. I have mentioned before in

Easter is fast approaching and I am enjoying all the pastel shades and spring blossom that’s about. To get into the swing of the springtime celebrations, I have made one of my seasonal favourites, spiced bunny biscuits.
