Hi friends,

It's time to get your bake on! There's no need to let baking show contestants have all the fun when you have recipes like the ones below.

These recipes are for everyone, not just the pros. Follow our helpful tips and tricks in the body of each recipe post (click the image, button, or text) and watch our tutorials - you'll be star baker in no time!

You'll impress your family AND yourself when you whip up this Strawberry Cake. It's packed with fresh strawberry purée then layered and topped with the fluffiest strawberry buttercream. Moist and tender, this impressive looking layer cake is quite simple to make - even for beginners!

Follow our pro-tips HERE. (New to making cakes? This tool makes icing cakes a breeze!)

Keep the berry season goodness going with this Swiss Roll recipe! Follow our pro-tips and tricks to make the perfect sponge cake rolled with mascarpone cream and strawberry jam. Wondering how to roll a Swiss roll? Click below to watch! If it's your first time making the dessert, you'll want a jelly roll pan like this one!

🍫 Is chocolate more your thing? Try this Chocolate Swiss Roll instead!

Pro-tip: Roll the cake in a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. The cloth absorbs the moisture from the steam of the cake as it cools and prevents it from sticking to each other.

This Easy Lemon Blueberry Cake is totally celebration worthy - it not only looks stunning, it's absolutely delicious. Moist and fluffy, it's an easy no-fail layer cake made with fresh blueberries and a creamy, tangy lemon buttercream.

Pro-tip: The best time to add lemon zest to the cake is when you're creaming the butter and sugar. The roughness of the sugar releases the oils from the zest, resulting in maximum lemon flavour - no extract required!

In a baking mood but looking for something with a simpler, more rustic appearance? This Olive Oil Cake is a fabulous choice! Make this classic Mediterranean-style cake in just one bowl. It's moist and tender with the bright and beautiful tang of fresh lemon! Serve with complimenting fresh fruit, if desired.

We're changing up the flavour profile with these Chai Spiced Cupcakes with Cinnamon Frosting! The warming flavours of cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger combine beautifully with the vanilla in the cupcake. If you're a fan of chai, even on the smallest level, you're going to LOVE these!

Pro-tip: Using heavy cream instead of milk makes for silky smooth frosting. (Be sure to follow all our tips in the post for making the fluffiest buttercream frosting.)

Happy baking!

Cheers,

Chrissie Baker
