Lindy’s Gorgeous Chocolate Ganache Recipe

8th May 2012 by Lindy Smith

Recently I blogged about my Chocolate and Red Wine cupcakes – a true wonder food if ever there was one!  I topped those divine little creations with my yummy-scrummy-in-my-tummy chocolate ganache that I have used many times before, on my sublime Animal Print cupcakes or these elegant Zen Garden cupcakes, for example.

Delicious chocolate fudge cake recipe as baked by Lindy

2nd February 2011 by Lindy Smith

Chocolate Fudge Cake - Yum Yum!!!

I have been experimenting recently with a chocolate fudge cake recipe that my sister gave me years ago.  I love the chocolate cake recipe that appears in many of my cake books but it does take a while to make and creates loads of washing up to do afterwards! The Chocolate mud cake recipe on […]

Designer Handbag Workshop

30th June 2010 by Lindys Team

Haute Couture comes to Lindy’s Cakes… in the form of handbags! This new workshop, designed by Lindy, was a ‘runway’ success today! Whilst we love our regular workshops, and there will always be themes that are old favourites, it is lovely to work in a new direction. And ‘fashion’ is definitely a new direction for […]
