History of Confessions of a Baking Queen
The blog Confessions of a Baking Queen was started back in January of 2012 by Elizabeth Waterson. On the blog, we focus on recipe development and great food photography. We partner with brands we use and love.
The owner, Elizabeth, comes from 15 years in the restaurant industry. Good food and good customer service have always and still continue to be the main priority. While we may not be selling a product, ensuring you have success the first and 50th time you make a recipe is of utmost importance to us.
Baking is our priority but we know it's not realistic to eat dessert for every meal. So you will find savory recipes as well. You will see some old posts pop up that are not as beautiful as more recent recipes. Please bear with us as they are all updated.
If you are interested in partnering and collaborating, we would love to hear more please email us at [email protected]
If you are interested in food photography, recipe development, sponsored posts, or product reviews we would love to hear more please email us at [email protected]
Where should you start?
Our recipes are meant to excite your taste buds while not being too fussy or complicated. One of our most popular recipes both on the blog and in real life are these English Sausage Rolls. Another recipe we make 10-15 times a year has got to be our Chocolate Cake which goes perfectly with this Coffee Buttercream.
As a British citizen many of CBQ's recipes are inspired by Elizabeths love and adoration of her British heritage. Learn more about Elizabeth Waterson here. Fresh Scones, Bread and Butter Pudding, and Chocolate Biscuit Cake are a few of her faves. Check out all of the British Recipes.

I am marking the Lemon cheese cake for the second time
It is the best !!
Elizabeth Waterson says
That is awesome Vicki, thank you so much for reporting back!! Next time would you mind leaving the review on the recipe page itself with a star rating, it helps other readers easily see reviews of the recipe before they bake. Thank you so much!! XX Liz
Amanda Tinkle says
How much chopped chocolate goes in the recipe? It isn't included in the ingredient list.
Elizabeth Waterson says
Hi Amanda, I don't know which recipe you are referring to, the comment came through on my About page, you can comment on the recipe page itself or feel free to email me directly [email protected] for any questions! Take care. XX Liz
Joanne Romans says
The recipe I love is the rice pudding! I love Rice pudding! My question has to do with the rice? Can other brands of white rice be as successfully used?
Elizabeth Waterson says
Hi Joanne, thanks for reaching out. You can definitely try a different brand of rice but the type of rice should be Arborio rice, it's a shorter, fatter type of grain that works best with all of the liquid. Let me know if I can help with anything else or if you try the recipe. Thanks XX Liz
Doris Zambrana says
Hello!! Wonderful recipes. Ideas for my taste buds
Elizabeth Waterson says
Hi Doris, thanks so much for reaching out! I am looking forward to you trying some recipes, please let me know if I can help with anything! XX Liz
Cheri says
I don't like the idea of you comparing a cake to drugs. The crack cake is what you call it. It is the best moist cake or wine cake.
Pam says
I stumbled into your site looking for recipes for the second jar of lemon curd and another of passionfruit curd I received for Christmas this year. I had only so many ideas even though I love the stuff! Love the running banner of photographs to entice me to take a peek at every recipe and the recipes are lovely to boot! Thank you for sharing!
Elizabeth Waterson says
Hi Pam, thanks for reaching out! I am so pleased you appreciate the banners of recipes on top, such good feedback 🙂 Please let me know if you ever have any questions or if you try any of the recipes, I would love to know what you think!! Take care. XX Liz

Ingrid Carlbom says
I made the Oat Flour Banan Bread - four times, and cannot make it work. It comes out "doughey". The last time I baked it 70mins. I have checked the oven temp with a thermometer. Moved the cake to a lower shelf in the oven. I weigh all ingredients. What is wrong?
Elizabeth Waterson says
Hi Ingrid, I am not sure I am so sorry you are having issues, 100s of people have made it with success. And if you are weighing your ingredients thats great, I would have suggested that. Try checking your oven is calibrated properly and is actually at the right temperature!
Ingrid Carlbom says
I got an oven thermometer, and my oven is callibrated to the correct temperature. What yougurt do you use?

Naomi says
The multiplier option on the recipe cards are not working for me. Tried multiple devices with same result. Whats up with that?
Elizabeth Waterson says
Hi Naomi, it does work for me when I just tried. Keep in mind if I offer to measurements in example 8oz (1 Cup) it will only double the 8oz not the 1 cup part. Hope that helps! XX Liz
Naomi says
Thanks. I just do the math myself. Most likely a user error.
