Party rings!! Note to self when you have a day of things planned, don't leave #tesco recipe cards lying around, cries if 'can I make those round thingies?!?' Resulted in an unplanned #bakingday!! #sorrynotsorry #baking #kidsactivities #yummy #muststopbaking

Tested a recipe from the good housekeeping guide to mothercraft from 1959, safe to say Alyssa enjoyed then and we will be trying more! Not sure if they are meant to be more cinnamon swirl shape than sausage roll shape though as no picture! #baking #retrocooking #goodhousekeeping #mothercraft

Autumn leaves salt dough ready for the oven, not sure what we are doing with them once painted but never mind!! #Autumn #craftsforkids #saltdough #kidsactivities
