Think baking is one thing for your grandmother to perform? Think again! Thanks to the likes of Blake Lively, Fearne Cotton, Victoria Beckham and a whole host of other gorgeous celebs, baking is the sizzling new pastime for fashionable and stylish girls everywhere. Certainly time to jump on that baking band wagon!

Cupcakes and fairy cakes are the right approach to relieve oneself to the baking trend; fast, easy and oh-so-delicious, these little lovelies are great for baking on your own, with friends or with your children! All that's necessary are the basic ingredients and a simple selection of bakeware - all of us suggest at least a baking tray - as well as somebody to lick the pan afterwards. Once you've rustled up a batch of baked beauties, it's time to make like the stylish folks in the city and change those desserts into small pieces of art; go ahead and try out coloured icing - whether it's drizzling over the cakes or applying a piper to obtain more detailed - and dessert accessories. They'll appear very great to eat before you know it.

Elegant scenting your home with the comforting and warm scent of recently cooked bread? Whether you're looking to buff up those triceps with traditional rolling, stirring and kneading, or simply trying to find a quick solution (we recommend our fab collection of breadmakers!), there's no denying that homemade bread surpasses the store purchased stuff every single time. Use your newfound abilities to start adding some zap to lunches, dinners and breakfasts - baking hasn't been so versatile.

Make use of your newly found baking skills for something a little harder next. Baking a Victoria Sponge, Chocolate Fudge Cake or batch of cookies is certain to make you a strong favorite with grown-ups and kids alike! Without a doubt, you may have to fill up on the bakeware - think baking tins and deep baking trays - but the end results are ultra-fashionable and ultra-impressive. Why not take your baked goodies into the office or the school room and relax as all the compliments pile up?

It's bake or break time; why don't you create a night from your new passion? Baking events are the best way to get the girls together for the giggle-fuelled evening; display your chicest aprons, discuss your favourite dishes, try your hands at anything brand-new and prepare to gossip over some stunning cooked goods. Whether you're in the mood for zesty lemon meringue pie al fresco, moist chocolate cake in front of your fave flick or oh-so-light cakes for a wildly competitive cake designing competition, there's numerous fun baking recipes out there for all of you to sink your teeth into. Sweet!
