Three ways to upgrade your scone game this National Cream Tea Day 🍰☕

Nothing beats a classic sweet scone but every now and then, it’s fun to experiment with new flavours. This fluffy, foolproof scone recipe serves as the perfect base for three delicious twists that go beyond the traditional.

🍋 Sugared Earl Grey & Lemon scones – Fragrant, zesty, and topped with crunchy sugar. Perfect with Tiptree’s luscious Lemon Curd & Rodda’s Clotted Cream.

🍓 Strawberry & Black Pepper scones – Sweet dried strawberries meet a peppery twist. Unexpected, delicious, and totally tea-worthy.

🍫 Chocolate Chip scones – Rich, indulgent, and made even better with Tiptree’s chocolate spread and a spoonful of Rodda’s Clotted Cream.

Why not bake a batch (or three) to celebrate National Cream Tea Day in style?

You’ll find the recipes on our website.

Which one would you try first?☕

Dragon fruit, raspberry and vanilla funfetti cake 🌈

As some of you may know I’m mad for purple at the moment so when I was designing a cake for my friend @turner_elena who is also an artist @elenaturnerart I knew I could go bold with my colours 💜💜💜

I made the vanilla funfetti cake from @crumbsanddoilies book as @cupcakejemma recipes always work. I used rainbow sprinkles from @getbakedsupplies in the batter as they’re the best and don’t bleed during baking.

The fluffy sponge layers were sandwiched together with vanilla American buttercream topped with @bonnemaman_uk Intense raspberry jam. I love this jam as it has more fruit and less sugar than other jams and is packed with flavour.

To coat the cake I made a Swiss meringue buttercream and flavoured it with @honeyberryfood freeze-dried dragon fruit power. This fruit, also known as Pink Pitaya has a vibrant magenta colour which gives this cake the wow factor.

Other decorations on the top were silver rice dragées, crunchy purple balls and my favourite dried dragon fruit chips from @soulfruituk. I had to add more rainbow sprinkles around the bottom and top as you can never have enough of them!

And two little edible Viola flowers that grew in my garden. The only two I’ve managed to grow 😆

The cute wavy lilac cake topper candle was from @gingerrayuk

The good thing about making cakes for friends is that I often get to cut and eat them too!

Chocolate decadence, but make it birthday cake. 🤎🍫

A rich, intensely dark chocolate cake layered with silky white chocolate buttercream, encased in a luxuriously smooth dark milk chocolate ganache and finished with the kind of chocolate details that make a cake feel truly special.

Crunchy chocolate cigarillo curls, shiny chocolate truffles and chocolate acorns tucked across the top for a decadent, patisserie-style finish. ✨

Dark, glossy, indulgent and very, very chocolatey.

The ultimate birthday cake for a serious chocolate lover. 🎂🤎

Birthday cake, but make it an Aperol Spritz 🍊🥂✨

Basically… the classic Italian spritz, but make it CAKE🍹🍰

Three layers of tender orange cake, soaked with Prosecco syrup, layered with Aperol buttercream + a hit of @tiptreeofficial reduced-sugar orange marmalade for that perfect tangy twist. 🍊

Then came the pretty bits… rosemary for a fragrant finish, edible violas in every shade of orange 💐 and freeze-dried orange slices for the ultimate Aperol aesthetic.

🍊 Orange cake
🥂 Prosecco syrup
🍹 Aperol buttercream
🍊 Orange marmalade
🌿 Rosemary
💐 Edible violas
✨ Freeze-dried orange

And honestly? I’d take this over a cocktail any day 😋👀

Healthy Snickers Date Bites 🥜✨ (Save this for later!)

If you have a nearly empty peanut butter jar, DO NOT wash it out yet. Make these 5-ingredient healthy freezer snacks instead. They taste exactly like a mini Snickers bar because the dates get super gooey and caramelly when frozen! 🤤

The best part? It’s a total “clean out the pantry” recipe - use up whatever seeds or nut butter you have left.

Ingredients:

🤎Soft, pitted dates

🥜Good quality peanut butter (I used a mixture of smooth and crunchy @tiptreeofficial ad/gifted)

🍫70% dark chocolate (melted)

💚💙Seeds for crunch (I used pumpkin and poppy seeds)

How to make them:

1️⃣ Pit your dates and roll them into a thin square between 2 sheets of baking parchment.

2️⃣ Spread the peanut butter on top.

3️⃣ Pour over melted dark chocolate and smooth it over to the edges.

4️⃣ Pop it on a tray and freeze for at least 30 mins until solid.

5️⃣ Cut into squares

6️⃣ Keep them stored in the freezer for whenever that sweet tooth hits! 🥶🍫

Drop a 🥜 in the comments if you’re making these this week, and let me know what toppings you’d add!...

The brief was to cover my nails in as many brightly-coloured metallic foils in hues of pink, purple, electric blue and rose gold as possible so that it looked like a kind of oil slick!

I think @carak001 @harpendenbeauty really delivered!

Swipe to see the iridescence in action. So shiny!

I’ve been to Fortnum & Mason more times than I can count, but I’ve never really stopped to think about the stories behind this iconic London institution.

The Delicious History Tour, led by the wonderful Louise Cook, their archivist and historian, was such a fun way to discover another side of Fortnum’s, with fascinating food history, royal connections, quirky characters and plenty of little details I’d never noticed before.

Starting at the ornate boardroom at the top of the building we made our way down through every floor, pausing to learn fun facts at each stop. And yes, there were lots of “I never knew that!” moments!

Being a food lover, the best bit had to be the tasting, finishing with freshly brewed tea and lunchtime treats in the basement crypt.

☕️🍰 A lovely morning of London history, and good food. Now pass me another Scotch egg…

You can find all of Fortnum’s events on their website 👩‍💻

🍫✨ Chocolate + salted caramel = a match made in heaven.

This chocolate salted caramel roulade that I made for a friend’s BBQ yesterday is giving serious dessert goals 🤎

A light, cocoa sponge rolled up with whipped cream and silky @tiptreeofficial salted caramel spread, finished with Aero caramel bubbles, a stripe of caramel and a little sprinkle of chocolate for good measure.

Rich, indulgent and just the right amount of gooey - basically impossible to stop at one slice. 😍

Would you be going back for seconds? Or hide a slice for later? 👀
