They have supplied breakfast muffins for the Caledonia Sleeper’s First Class customers, and were the sole supplier for National Trust Scotland, but at the heart of the business are their cafés in the Black Isle village Muir of Ord, and at the Victorian Market in Inverness.

For Jeni, baking is about the occasional indulgence that’s worth it. It’s about a process that brings you joy. These aren’t recipes with hundreds of steps, requiring loads of specialist kit. They are recipes that celebrate texture and flavour, do-able, fast, with simple steps and tricks that yield the tastiest results without hours and hours of work.

With chapters including everything from ‘Cake for Breakfast’ to ‘Leftover Cake’ (who wouldn’t bake extra cake to make themselves a Hot Mess?), via an entire section dedicated to Millionaire’s Shortbread, Bad Girl Bakery brings together over 100 of Jeni’s best bakes. Recipes include Pimped-up Shortbread; Salted Caramel Crumble Bar; Granola, Berry & Yoghurt Muffins; White Chocolate & Cardamom Sticky Buns; Chocolate Caramel Layer Cake; Vegan Hazelnut Millionaire; Deluxe Coconut Brownies and many many more.

Because Bad Girls make good cake.
