The Baking Explorer<\/a> is Kat Buckley<\/a>\u2019s Top 10 Baking Blog<\/a>. Running since 2012, The Baking Explorer promotes achievable bakes that are both delicious and fun to make. Covering a huge variety of recipes, Kat also creates dairy-free baking and has a loyal vegan following. We caught up with Kat to find out how the blog has evolved, the best collaborations she\u2019s worked on and what PRs need to know. <\/strong><\/p>\n

How has your blog changed from when you first started?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>I\u2019ve been running The Baking Explorer for over six years now and it\u2019s come a long way in that time! My photos are considerably better, the recipes are clearer and better laid out, I\u2019m vegetarian now and I make vegan recipes too occasionally \u2013 overall it\u2019s more user friendly, veggie-friendly and easier to find delicious treats to make at home!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Why baking?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>I was inspired to start my blog by The Great British Bake Off. I loved the challenge of baking new things and feeding my friends and family with my creations. I still get the same buzz from creating a new recipe and seeing people enjoy it.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

How do you make your blog stand out?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I always try to be creative and come up with fun recipes for my audience to try themselves at home and showcase my style of baking.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best bake you\u2019ve ever made?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>My favourite cake of all time has to be my Chocolate Guinness Cake with Baileys Buttercream, I make it every year for my birthday.<\/p>\n

What one thing should PRs know about you?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>I\u2019m vegetarian and I don\u2019t drink tea! I get a lot of emails about tea as it goes so well with cake but sadly I don\u2019t drink it.<\/p>\n

What are the best collaborations you\u2019ve worked on?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>I really enjoyed a recent collaboration I did with Berry Gardens where they sent me some of their amazing UK grown cherries and I made a White Forest Cake with a cherry & kirsch jam \u2013 it was divine!<\/p>\n

Do you think bloggers need their own industry association?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>I think we are well regulated at the moment in terms of making it clear when we\u2019ve been paid to advertise a product, as it\u2019s so important for the audience to make an informed decision.<\/p>\n

What other blogs do you read?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>Mostly other food and baking blogs! I have a lot of blogger friends in the community so I\u2019m often checking out their recipes.<\/p>\n
