Picnic Time!!
Here are all my current picnic worthy bakes, for anytime you want to enjoy some home baked sweet and savoury snacks & finger foods, on the go. All suitable for beginner bakers.
For 2023, June 18th is International Picnic Day & Picnic Week is 17th – 25th June for the UK. But if the weather is nice, why not have a picnic any day? So here’s some of my recipes, that I think suitable hand foods for a picnic or even parties and big gatherings. All recipes with step-by-step photos and thorough instructions that you can understand.
