Yippeeeeeeee!
Hello!
I learnt a new trick this week…how to dry out exotic fruits and make them look gorgeous on a cake…here’s a pic:
I’ve been receiving more and more requests for edible petal cakes during the winter, and rather than source them from expensive foreign importers (who probably use all sorts of pesticides etc), I wanted to find a way to work WITH the sparse petals that I can get from my amazing grower in the UK, but boosting them with pretty hand made dried fruit.
I dehydrated thinly sliced fruits overnight to get this affect: kiwis, apples, strawberries (my favourite), pears and carrots…and i think they look lush!
Hello everyone!
I’ve been SO EXCITED to receive the first copy of my new recipe book, and it finally arrived this week… its not officially for sale until March 10th, but you can pre-order it on Amazon now: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1910496464?keywords=bee%20berrie&qid=1449492793&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
Here’s the cover, and a snippet of the preview images on Amazon:
Here’s the introduction to the book, I hope you all really like it! Bee. X
Bee Berrie of Bee’s Bakery is on a mission to bring unique biscuits and cookies into everyone’s life. She believes the secret to great baking is to give your bakes a personal edge. Her biscuits are original, colourful, flavourful and so much fun - she has a flair for bringing classic recipes bang up to date and her recipes are easily adaptable. Whether you want a sophisticated digestive to dunk in your tea, a personalized jammie dodger to give as a gift, cookies iced with crystallized edible flowers or an inky tattooed sea salt and brown butter cookie, you’ll find the recipe in this exciting book. A page of tear-out templates adds to the fun. All achievable for the home cook - with some aimed at children - and using easily sourceable ingredients, the 80 recipes will increase any baker’s repertoire. Bee makes the most unique biscuits around, raising eyebrows and smiles, all in one bite.
Happy New Year, especially to all you newly-engageds out there!
I have been loving BerinMade’s gorgeous fresh print designs for a year now, when I met Erin at Top Drawer last year, and I’ve always wanted to put them onto a cake…which is exactly what we’ve done!
Brides Magazine has just featured the below yellow amaryllis design in their January issue - which is available with complementary wedding favour cookies too.
Email beeberrie@gmail.com for sizing, recipe and pricing information.
Cakes and cookies are available in all of the below prints! Designs can be customised to match your by Erin for a small fee.
Hello everybody!
I was asked to write a recipe or four by the Jamie Oliver gang, on the subject of a healthier type of baking…lower in sugar, no animal products and tasty as you like.
I adapted a recipe from my forthcoming book Bee’s Brilliant Biscuits for this - it uses oats and applesauce as its base ingredients and is totally vegan with no added sugar.
Here’s a snippet from the recipe, full instructions are here: http://www.jamieoliver.com/news-and-features/features/oaty-cookies-one-dough-four-ways/

Yes, I’m a baker, so it stands to reason that I don’t have too much of a problem cooking with sugar, butter and gluten most of the time. However, if I can bake something delicious and full of energy that just so happens to NOT contain these things, I consider it a win all round!
We bake lots of different recipes at Bee’s Bakery, including gluten-free, vegan or more health-conscious bakes. These oaty cookies are just the sort of baking I like to do when I’m making something for health-conscious friends, or with kids, or even when it’s just me at home. It’s important for me to have a reasonably healthy diet at home, to make up for all the broken biscuits I eat at work!
The recipe is adapted from my first recipe book, Bee’s Brilliant Biscuits, which is out early in 2016 and contains plenty of other vegan and health-conscious recipes, too.
