If you don’t like beetroot I hope that you’ll still be tempted by the idea of a brownie and give these a try. They really are delicious and hit the spot with a good cup of brew. We added a dollop of Gills home made mango and chili honey salsa to accompany the brownies and give them a little kick on the side and it was amazing!

These Choc Chip Hot Cross Buns are a delicious twist on the traditional spiced fruit bun. We absolutely loved these warmed oozing with chocolate!

Cakes and Bakes Recipes

We know that summer heralds the start of salads, diets and healthy eating but our motto in Small City office is 'A little of what you fancy does you good!'.  And we fancy cake. All the time. 

Holly, being new to the team, was tasked with researching our archive and after a whole heap of oooos and aaaaahhhhhs coming her corner of the room we decided an entire gallery dedicated to Gill's cakes and bakes was the perfect way to introduce summer. 

Picture yourself under a blue sky, checked picnic blanket rolled on lush green grass, unpacking your delicious array of homemade cakes and bakes.  Truly what nature intended.

You can find recipes for all of these amazing goodies here on Small City Recipes (we'd never axe the recipes to save a few quid!) and as always, leave your comments and please do share this with your friends.

You can also share your photographs and ideas with us. We'd love to see them. As always, tag them #PerthLoveFest and we'll scatter them around our own social media.
