Linen is having a bit of a moment. All over Instagram there are shots of dishevelled beds covered in well-loved, homely linen sheets, inviting you in with a promise of an incredible night’s sleep. Linen looks simply beautiful, particularly in a rustic, farmhouse style home. But did you know it also has a whole host of benefits?

Last month our sweet little boy turned one, and to mark this special milestone I decided to bake a forest-themed naked madeira cake for his party. This was a suprisingly easy cake to make, but the outcome is really lovely! Jesse absolutely loved it (though mostly because of the candles!) and it made a special day even more wonderful.
