Bake of the Week April 12-19

April 12, 2016 by Sarah Trivuncic 10 Comments

BOTW Bourbon-BiscuitsJPG

There has been a biscuit shortage in the UK recently so I was tickled by these realistic Bourbon Biscuits at Tin & Thyme submitted to this week’s #BAKEoftheWEEK.

You may have noticed me being rather quiet on the Bake of the Week front in the past fortnight – it’s been a trying time behind the scenes at Maison Cupcake which is why I’ve not managed to submit anything myself in the past two rounds. Thankfully, touch wood, my schedule should now have returned to some semblance of normality and I look forward to joining in with a new bake of my own any day. In the meantime, on with the round up and you can submit this week’s entries into the linky at the bottom of this post ready for Helen to round up next week. Speaking of Helen, she’s kicking off with….

    What a great round up – I am so pleased to be included, thank you. Those Bourbons look amazing. I made my own Bourbons a few months ago during the ‘ National shortage’ and know how much time and patience they took. I wasn’t that happy with my recipe so I will definitely check out Tin & Thymes blog and see what she did. Thanks again,Chonnie
