Donna’s Cornish Kitchen

A rather special family bake this weekend! 🥕🎂

My uncle turned 60, and his birthday cake request was simply “carrot cake with yummy icing” — so that’s what he got (we think!)! Happiest of birthdays Richard (I couldn’t tag him…). An enormous multi-layer carrot cake with orange cream cheese frosting, fresh orange zest and little sugar carrots. And yes, it looks homemade, because it was! 😜❤️

Very pleased with the feedback from a roomful of willing cake testers for the updated recipe 😂 but more testers are always welcome…

Well, it’s been a little quiet on here lately… but certainly not in Donna’s Cornish Kitchen!

There’s been plenty of baking going on behind the scenes, with lemon drizzle cakes, chocolate brownies and all sorts of lovely treats coming out of the oven.

The last few days have been particularly exciting, with a sudden flurry of baking experience enquiries & bookings and cake orders coming in. I’ve even got some lovely people flying halfway around the world to learn how to make a proper Cornish pasty! ✈️🥟

It’s still early days for my little business, but I’m absolutely loving sharing a bit of Cornwall through its food.

Whether it’s learning to crimp a pasty, baking a proper Cornish cream tea or simply enjoying a slice of homemade cake, it’s all about good food and happy memories.

Thank you to everyone who’s been supporting Donna’s Cornish Kitchen. It really does mean a lot! ❤️

Spreading a little Cornish sunshine on a grey day, one scone at a time.

Such a lovely morning meeting the team at Perfect Stays Ltd today and introducing them to Donna’s Cornish Kitchen — with plenty of freshly baked scones, naturally!

Thank you for such a warm welcome (and for the lovely Instagram mention!) 🥰

Today was a cracker - I’ve been lucky enough to be in this kitchen helping others to cook up an absolute Cornish storm! Traditional Cornish Pasties and Cornish Fairings made and enjoyed with big smiles…

What an absolutely stunning Aspects Holidays property with ridiculously gorgeous views… I wanted to move in!
