Baking Blogs UK Top 10
Last updated 18/10/2024
Vuelio uses a proprietary algorithm to create these rankings, based on topic-related content in blogs on its system – you can read more about the process here. Our research team actively seeks out new blogs and bloggers for inclusion, but if you think we’ve missed someone, please get in touch to let us know.
Still top shelf in our ranking of top UK Baking blogs is Jane’s Patisserie, where Jane Dunn is plating up all the ‘confidence and knowledge’ you need to ‘bake and cook what you fancy’. Originally started in November 2014, the blog now hosts over 600 recipes for cakes, cookies, desserts, sweets, traybakes, and much more. As we steadily approach the festive season, find recipes for sweets and savouries grouped by celebration or genre – no bake, oven, microwave, or airfryer. Want more from Jane? Check out her book ‘Easy Favourites’.
Another non-mover and still supergolden to us and her readers is recipe developer, author, and food photographer Lucy Parissi of Supergolden Bakes. Here you can find ‘easy sweet and savoury recipes that are packed with flavour’ that have been thoroughly tried and tested. Find ideas for your next meal by scrolling through the Breakfast, Soup, Beef, Lamb, Chicken, Pasta & Rice, and Vegan & Vegetarian sections, or head to the videos section to follow along with Lucy while she creates her bakes.
Moving up from number 9 in this year’s update of our ranking is blogger Bintu with Recipes From a Pantry. If opening your pantry fills you with dread, or you don’t happen to have a pantry, Bintu has plenty of options to try in the Dinner, Air Fryer, Instant Pot, Southern, Crockpot, and Dessert sections. Find ‘good food made with real ingredients’ ranging from ‘colourful healthy dishes’ to ‘decadent desserts’, perfect for weeknight dinners, easy lunches and brunches, and upcoming family gatherings.
Another blog moving up our ranking is The Little Blog Of Vegan from Holly Jade. The name might be small, but the content is mighty – ‘all recipes are 100% vegan and delicious – they never fail to impress’ promises Holly. Hoping to inspire those who are thinking about moving to a vegan lifestyle, the blog offers support and nutritional advice to make the transition smooth and delicious. Trending recipes for now – Easy Polar Bear Cupcakes, Vegan Brown Butter Reindeer Christmas Cake, and Snowdog Hot Chocolate Bombs.
Up from last year’s number 8 is Kat, AKA The Baking Explorer, who has been journeying far and wide (in the kitchen) to track down the finest baking experiences since 2012. Like many others across the country, Kat was inspired by the Great British Bake Off and so started her journey to home-made bakes. This has been to her readers’ benefit, who can find what they fancy in the Recipes section to make from scratch, or make something equally delicious from the Leftovers channel. You can also track down her book ‘Bakes that Break the Internet’ for extra helpings.
We’re heading towards Halloween, but Gothic bakes are for all year round. For an example, check out Domestic Gothess Hannah Hossack-Lodge, ‘professional blogger, aspiring food photographer, and cake fanatic’. Don’t be intimidated – this blog has ‘easy vegan baking and comfort food recipes’ galore as Hannah designs her recipes to be doable, and eatable, for everybody. If you’re not sure where to begin, start with her readers’ favourites including chocolate chip cookies, Hokkaido milk bread, and tiramisu.
Up three places is ‘food science nerd’ Katarina Cermelj (Kat for short) with her blog The Loopy Whisk. Having always loved food and baking, Kat officially started this blog in late 2016, just before starting her PhD in Inorganic Chemistry. Her ensuing experiments in allergy friendly baking are ‘basically indistinguishable from their “regular” equivalents’ and don’t need a bunsen burner to create. Alongside simple scientific explanations of why the recipes work, read her step by step instructions to create your own masterpieces.
Cooking healthy doesn’t have to mean cooking boring, believes certified health coach Charla at That Girl Cooks Healthy. Alongside gluten and dairy free recipes, the blog has modernised healthier alternatives to favourite Caribbean recipes. ‘Being Caribbean, I wanted to showcase recipes from my culture i.e Brown Stew Chicken, and traditional as well as modern alternatives to some of my favourite recipes. For example, how to totally veganize Cornmeal Porridge that I ate as a little girl,’ says Charla.
Sandhya’s Kitchen comes from Sandhya Hariharan, who encourages her readers to celebrate food with simple Indian and international dishes. ‘Whether you’re looking for quick meals or something special, these easy-to-follow recipes are packed with tips for you to enjoy with your family,’ says the blogger. Sections devoted to air fryer and instant pot recipes sit alongside ideas for baking. To try now – easy mango compote, air fryer chocolate mug cake, Ladi Pav, and quick and easy puff pastry sausage rolls.
10. Becky Excell
And make space for dessert as we polish off 2024’s ranking of top baking bloggers with Becky Excell. ‘Inspired by years of missing out on all of my favourite foods, I decided to share recipes for all the things I couldn’t eat on a gluten-free diet’ says Becky. This London and Essex-based food writer, recipe creator, and four time Sunday Times best-selling author started her blog in 2013 and has continued to grow a following of fellow foodies seeking gluten-free goodness.
