Tips & Tricks

Who says you shouldn’t play with your food? Here are 5 sure fire ways to make your bakes a whole lot more fun!
<h2> 
 
&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Biscuit Jenga</h2>
 
This game is ideal played with any finger biscuits such as <a data-item-id="c79985c0-def0-5e66-b90d-a14cf14f4064" href="">Bourbons</a>, or <a data-item-id="5e00310f-6cd1-5848-9268-12aa22d20173" href="">Shortbread</a>. The rules are the same as regular Jenga. Players take turns, using only one hand to remove a single biscuit from the stack without causing the stack to fall. The top two rows must be left untouched. If they successfully remove a biscuit, they add it to their pile ready to eat. The person who topples the tower, hands back their pile of biscuits and does not get to eat them. Everyone else can then eat from their winning piles.
<h2> 
2.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Noughts &amp; Crosses 
</h2>
<figure data-asset-id="03b4c1b7-6a29-495d-8e81-5aa1ae428d95" data-image-id="03b4c1b7-6a29-495d-8e81-5aa1ae428d95"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/7d86daa4-c668-01be-7af8-44c5dd436d14/72ddcad5-81f2-4cd3-b4b2-60e2bf17bbe6/Tic-Tac-Toe.jpg" data-asset-id="03b4c1b7-6a29-495d-8e81-5aa1ae428d95" data-image-id="03b4c1b7-6a29-495d-8e81-5aa1ae428d95" alt="noughts and crosses game"></figure>
Noughts &amp; Crosses, Three in a Row or Tic-tac-toe? Whichever name you call it, this is a game that goes back centuries. Traditionally played using pen and paper, why not give it a unique twist by marking a grid on baking paper and using biscuits as playing pieces?&nbsp;Any kind of biscuit dough would work and each player could use a different flavour or decorate their pieces before play.
<h2> 
 
3.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Scrabble 
</h2>
<figure data-asset-id="c42c3534-7e3a-4993-9bb5-f7e919113daf" data-image-id="c42c3534-7e3a-4993-9bb5-f7e919113daf"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/7d86daa4-c668-01be-7af8-44c5dd436d14/06e3508e-c5b7-453e-b385-6d34ae51d8d6/Scrabble_1.jpg" data-asset-id="c42c3534-7e3a-4993-9bb5-f7e919113daf" data-image-id="c42c3534-7e3a-4993-9bb5-f7e919113daf" alt="Scrabble board with homemade biscuits"></figure>
These <a data-item-id="41456bea-1783-5a46-a8e3-a49078676a80" href="">Scrabble Biscuits</a> are a fun addition to any games night. The recipe is so easy and would also be a great gift idea for any linguistics loving friends or family. The hardest part will be trying to complete a game without eating all the letters.&nbsp;
<h2> 
 
&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Doughnut Ring Toss 
</h2>
<figure data-asset-id="07411b74-5366-4065-ab6a-1318c3447278" data-image-id="07411b74-5366-4065-ab6a-1318c3447278"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/7d86daa4-c668-01be-7af8-44c5dd436d14/3e38a2ae-f2ba-4c10-aa48-9e1cdf205589/Cherry-Vanilla_1.jpg" data-asset-id="07411b74-5366-4065-ab6a-1318c3447278" data-image-id="07411b74-5366-4065-ab6a-1318c3447278" alt="raspberry doughnuts close up"></figure>
If biscuits aren’t your thing then doughnut ring toss could be the game for you. Simply whip up a batch of ringed doughnuts, set up a ring toss on your table and start throwing. These Cherry and Vanilla Ring Doughnuts would be perfect but if you would rather not risk wasting your precious bakes then alternatively you could&nbsp;make doughnut decorated rings from cardboard and then the winner gets to eat the real freshly baked batch.
<h2> 
 
5.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Doughnut on a String</h2>
<figure data-asset-id="21401622-b49d-4056-89fc-7098ff581fce" data-image-id="21401622-b49d-4056-89fc-7098ff581fce"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/7d86daa4-c668-01be-7af8-44c5dd436d14/26c2487e-8dab-4380-a00e-9ba7c2077962/On-String.jpg" data-asset-id="21401622-b49d-4056-89fc-7098ff581fce" data-image-id="21401622-b49d-4056-89fc-7098ff581fce" alt="doughnuts on a string"></figure>
A less messy alternative to the doughnut ring toss, but no less fun is the age old game of Doughnut on a String. With this game all contestants get to eat the delicious delights but only with their hands firmly behind their back. All you need to do is get a length of string long enough to suspend the doughnut at head height, tie one end around a ringed doughnut&nbsp;and the other from a taller support structure such as a tree brand. You then line the contestants up and say go. The first to finish eating their doughnut using only their mouths in the winner.&nbsp; 
 
If you play any of these don’t forget to upload your photos to our Facebook page or share your snaps on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bakingmad/">@BakingMad</a>, we would love to see them.

What's Your Pirate Name?

If you fondly remember the 90's you might be mistaken into thinking that 'there ain't no party like an SClub party' Well that may have been true then but right now it's all about the unicorn party. 
 

<figure data-asset-id="e7e825a7-c73d-49b9-a00c-a13ddca09260" data-image-id="e7e825a7-c73d-49b9-a00c-a13ddca09260"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/7d86daa4-c668-01be-7af8-44c5dd436d14/2a18de9a-3c03-43cc-a545-a6e59cbd749c/Unicorn_1.jpg" data-asset-id="e7e825a7-c73d-49b9-a00c-a13ddca09260" data-image-id="e7e825a7-c73d-49b9-a00c-a13ddca09260" alt="cartoon unicorn head"></figure>
The unicorn trend has been growing in popularity at a rapid pace over the last year or so as has our personal collections of all things rainbow, glitter and sparkles! If you have young children (or fully grown adults like us) you have may have been faced with the request to throw a unicorn party (Eek!) and are wondering where to even begin - do not fear! We have the ultimate guide to hosting a majestic unicorn extravaganza right here. 
 
Follow our step by step <a data-item-id="e8ae8889-a703-5a78-a823-1b0fb9ec719a" href="">Unicorn Cake Recipe</a> for the ultimate show stopper. So we have the cake sorted, but what about other rainbow themed food we hear you say? Well how about a rainbow themed pizza to keep the hungry unicorns at bay before the party games? This pizza can be sweet or savoury topped with colourful fruit and veg and is a great way of sneaking some healthy 5 a days into your little ones without them realising. 

<figure data-asset-id="0489a5ea-cdc2-4b27-a0be-dcfba3a70058" data-image-id="0489a5ea-cdc2-4b27-a0be-dcfba3a70058"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/7d86daa4-c668-01be-7af8-44c5dd436d14/d6428896-c4a4-40a6-988e-462b391e1c8a/Unicorn_2.jpg" data-asset-id="0489a5ea-cdc2-4b27-a0be-dcfba3a70058" data-image-id="0489a5ea-cdc2-4b27-a0be-dcfba3a70058" alt="cartoon rainbow with clouds"></figure>
If you are wanting to prep some food in advance of the party these colourful rainbow meringue kisses could be the bake for you. Once baked they can be stored for up to 2 weeks in an air tight container and would make a great party favour for your unicorn goody bags. What's more they are relatively inexpensive to make as they have only a few ingredients and one batch makes a large quantity of meringues. 
 
Another fun party favour are our chocolate rainbow truffles. Once again they are quick to make and can be prepared in advance (as long as they are stored in a fridge) and only require a handful of ingredients. The possibilities are endless... 
 
So now the party is ready all you need is your unicorns to arrive. Why not print this&nbsp;<a data-item-id="c289bc2f-acd4-5433-9a5a-a98d87b7179a" href="">'What's Your Unicorn Name?'</a> poster and place&nbsp; by the entrance so that when your party goers arrive they can identify their unicorn name and using colourful pens and sticky labels create their own unicorn name badge. 
 
So there you have it, the ultimate guide to the most magical party and you haven't even needed to leave the comfort of your house. 
 
Remember always be yourself unless you can be a unicorn, then always be a unicorn.

There Ain't No Party Like a Unicorn Party

What is Kawaii? Some people don’t know&nbsp;or haven’t heard of it… YET. But all those kawaii&nbsp;fans out there know very well – it is a Japanese&nbsp;word and it means cute, lovable and adorable.&nbsp; 
 
It’s widely used in Japanese pop culture, particularly&nbsp;among anime and manga fans, and has been&nbsp;around for decades. You can see it in fashions&nbsp;where the clothing is an array of bright and pastel colours, often with lots of accessories including&nbsp;plush toys and cute icons and emoticons, such&nbsp;as hearts, stars, bows and rainbows. 
 
If it is cute, lovable and adorable, it’s kawaii : ) 
 
The kawaii trend is growing across the world,&nbsp;and there are many recognisable kawaii characters,&nbsp;from Sanrio’s world-famous Hello Kitty to Miffy&nbsp;and Friends, and the Pokemon phenomenon.&nbsp;These are just the tip of the iceberg when you&nbsp;consider the overwhelming number of items out&nbsp;there with kawaii themes. 

<figure data-asset-id="22c5fb8e-648d-4644-8f83-195f41202102" data-image-id="22c5fb8e-648d-4644-8f83-195f41202102"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/7d86daa4-c668-01be-7af8-44c5dd436d14/4b867d9a-63cd-4d36-b0e1-258ca8177e6f/Juliet-Blog_kawaii.jpg" data-asset-id="22c5fb8e-648d-4644-8f83-195f41202102" data-image-id="22c5fb8e-648d-4644-8f83-195f41202102" alt="Kawaii panda head cookies on plates"></figure>
Pinterest and Instagram are awash with kawaii&nbsp;designs in many different forms. You can see more&nbsp;kawaii in high-street stores, where regular items&nbsp;are made super-cute by adding big eyes and&nbsp;cartoonish faces, giving them a childlike, innocent&nbsp;look. And it’s not just bento, sushi, and all kinds&nbsp;of savoury food – people are bringing kawaii&nbsp;to life through cakes, baking and pastry treats. 
 
What could be sweeter?
