I always love Patisserie week, not because I’m particularly good at it but because there’s truly nothing better in the world that a nice creamy choux bun or eclair. So patisserie week is always a week of highs and…
When I heard the theme for this week, it absolutely struck fear into my heart. I wasn’t crazy for Victorian week 2 years ago, and I absolutely HATED Tudor week last year. Those jumbles were the most disgusting thing…
