According to data, more babies are born in early autumn than at any other time of year – which means birthday season is officially upon us! Time to start planning something special.

Whether you’re organising a party for a little one or simply love a good celebration, what better way to bring your party to life than with our beautifully hand-decorated biscuits – available in themed party packs of ten.

Here are five brilliant party themes to help wow your guests:

1. Roarsome Dinosaur Adventures

Perfect for dino-mad kids, a dinosaur party is always a hit! Think green and brown decorations, prehistoric games, and maybe even a mini fossil dig in the garden. You could even add inflatable dinosaurs or a “cave” den made from blankets.

Our dinosaur biscuits come in two bold colours – 5 pink and 5 green – perfect for adding a pop of colour to party bags or your tablescape.

Pair them with a “build your own volcano” activity for full Jurassic joy!

2. Enchanted Unicorn Magic

Bring a sprinkle of magic to your child’s birthday with a dreamy unicorn theme. Soft pastel colours, sparkly streamers, and a little bit of glitter go a long way. Add in some fairy lights, tulle table skirts, and a magical soundtrack to set the scene.

Our whimsical unicorn biscuits are as enchanting as they are delicious – complete with rainbow manes and golden horns.

Combine with a unicorn cake and a DIY fairy wand-making station for extra sparkle!

3. Into the Wild Safari

Go wild with a safari-themed party that transforms your home or garden into the savannah. Think animal print decorations, jungle foliage, and plush toy animals dotted around for a real explorer vibe. You could even set up a “passport station” where kids collect stamps for each activity.

Our safari biscuits include a fun mix of lions, monkeys and giraffes – hand-decorated to bring a little jungle magic to the celebration.

Add a scavenger hunt for hidden “animals” to keep the kids entertained.

4. Lovely Llama Fiesta

Bright, fun and a little quirky, a llama party is perfect for creative little ones. Think fiesta colours, pom-poms, tassels, and cacti-themed décor. Add a backdrop of colourful bunting and maybe even a piñata for extra fun.

Our adorable llama biscuits bring all the joy with colourful saddles and cheeky expressions – a real crowd-pleaser.

Set up a DIY cactus pot painting activity to match the theme.

5. Farmyard Fun

There’s something so cosy and nostalgic about a farmyard theme – especially in autumn. Hay bales, gingham tablecloths, and animal noises galore! Add in some straw hats, mini wheelbarrows, and a “milk bottle toss” game for extra charm.

Our farmyard biscuits feature sheep, cows, pigs and tractors – perfect for little animal lovers.

Arrange a mobile farm visit or even host the celebration at a local petting farm venue for the ultimate countryside experience.

Why We Love a British Picnic

There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about a picnic – the rustle of a wicker basket, the clink of lemonade bottles, and the joy of sharing simple pleasures in the great outdoors. Whether it’s a spontaneous lunch in the park or a well-planned family outing, picnics offer a chance to slow down and savour the season.

Top Picnic Spots to Explore

Looking for inspiration? Here are a few classic picnic settings to enjoy this summer:

• A quiet woodland clearing – Perfect for a shady escape on warmer days.
• A breezy beach – Nothing beats the sound of waves while you snack.
• A hilltop with a view – Ideal for walkers who want to earn their lunch.
• A castle lawn or historic estate – A touch of grandeur for your gathering.
• Your local park or garden – Because sometimes, the best picnic is the one closest to home.

And if you’re visiting a National Trust site or a local visitor attraction, keep an eye out – you might just spot some of our beautifully hand-iced biscuits in the gift shop!

What to Pack for the Perfect Picnic

A great picnic is all about balance – a mix of savoury and sweet, refreshing drinks, and a few thoughtful extras. Here’s a quick checklist:

• Fresh sandwiches or wraps
• Seasonal fruit (think strawberries, cherries, or melon)
• Crisps or savoury nibbles
• Pasta salads – easy to prep and great for sharing
• Dips and crudités – hummus, tzatziki, or guacamole with veggie sticks or crackers
• Reusable cutlery and napkins
• A chilled drink or two
• And of course… a sweet treat from the Original Biscuit Bakers to finish!

For something a little different, why not visit your local farm shop or deli for unique, locally sourced goodies? Many of these independent retailers also stock our scrumptious biscuits too – so while you’re picking up your picnic essentials, you might just find a few of our hand-iced treats to take along. Use our stockist locator to find your nearest shop.

This year, we’re elevating our pancakes by incorporating the warm, spiced crunch of our sister company Billington’s Gingerbread straight into the batter. Crafted since 1817 in Market Drayton, Billington’s gingerbread features a secret blend of spices, a dash of rum, and the smooth velvetiness of golden syrup. The result when added to the mix? Pancakes with a uniquely spiced depth that are utterly irresistible.

For an extra touch, we’ve also paired this creation with one of our handcrafted biscuits from Original Biscuit Bakers. So, grab your whisk, warm up your frying pan, and let’s get flipping!

Ingredients

For the Billington’s spiced pancake batter:

2 eggs

160g flour

A pinch of salt

320ml milk

60g of Billington’s Gingerbread, crushed

For the pan:

A knob of butter (for frying)

For toppings and decoration to your taste:

Billington’s Gingerbread, crushed

Lemon curd

Double cream (whipped)

Blueberries

A sprinkle of Demerara sugar

A fresh lemon

Original Biscuit Bakers gingerbread or sugar cookie creations of your choice!

[This recipe will create 6 – 8 medium pancakes dependent on your preferred thickness].

Method

Prepare the batter – Sift the flour into a medium-sized bowl and add a pinch of salt. Crack in the eggs and pour in the milk, then slowly mix until fully combined.

Add the gingerbread magic – Crush the Billington’s Gingerbread into a fine consistency using a pestle and mortar or blender. Pour the crumbs into your pancake batter and mix thoroughly. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.

Get your toppings ready – While the batter is resting, whip the double cream until soft peaks form. For the lemon curd – beat until smooth (optional: you may like to gently warm the lemon curd).

Time to cook! – Heat a pan over medium heat and add a knob of butter. Let it melt to coat the pan, then pour in a ladleful of batter, swirling it around quickly to evenly coat the surface.

Flip to perfection – Cook the pancake for around 30 – 45 seconds until golden, then turn (…or if you’re feeling brave, flip) and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds.

Assemble the masterpiece – Transfer the pancake to a plate and spread over a generous layer of lemon curd. Sprinkle with crushed Billington’s Gingerbread and a handful of blueberries.

Fold and finish – Fold the pancake and top with whipped cream, extra Billington’s Gingerbread crumbs, a sprinkle of demerara sugar, and a slice of lemon for that final flourish.

For a special finishing touch – Crown your creation with your favourite hand-iced ginger biscuit or sugar cookie design from our Original Biscuit Bakers collection, because every treat deserves a little extra magic!

Enjoy!

We are sure you’ll agree that the combination of warming gingerbread, zesty lemon, and sweet berries makes this pancake recipe one to remember. Whether you’re treating yourself or impressing family and friends, these pancakes are guaranteed to be a hit!

Try them out and tag us in your Pancake Day creations – we’d love to see your delicious masterpieces!
