Sweet recipes, including cakes, tiffins, cheesecakes, trifles & more
This milk or dark chocolate orange tiffin was designed especially for a Halloween party, hence the decoration pictured. You could make this no bake cake at any time of year, though. Simply use some sort of sprinkles in place of the edible eyes. Such as gold stars, perhaps, …
This chocolate ginger tiffin recipe is even better than it sounds. Why? It contains Jaffa Cakes too. Oh yes. There are just three ingredients, yet this is my most popular – and perhaps best – tiffin cake recipe ever. This jaffa and ginger tiffin is …

I though perhaps I was done with time saving, easy tiffins before I made this Oreo Tiffin recipe – but, oh no, not yet! They’re so easy to make and such crowd pleasers – a hit with adults and kids alike. I browsed the biscuit …
