Our new ‘Sweet Treats’ capsule collection features nine warm neutral shades, each colour inspired by delicious desserts. If these delectable paint colours aren’t enough to tempt you, we have created a selection of recipes to accompany each shade in the collection.

Explore the recipes and find out how you can win 2.5L of Little Greene paint just by sharing your own homemade sweet treats…

The ‘Sweet Treats’ palette comprises honey, caramel and chocolate-coloured tones, perfect for creating cosy and cocooning interiors. Their comforting hues take inspiration from tasty treats from around the world, giving playful colour names such as Madeleine, Affogato, Bombolone and Ganache.

We have created easy-to-follow recipes for each colour in the collection, so you can recreate these irresistible treats in your own home. From your kitchen to your bedroom and living room walls, fill your home with delicious colours as well as tastes and smells that will provide lasting comfort and warmth.

Make sure to post your ‘Sweet Treats’ creations on social media for your chance to win 2.5L of Little Greene paint in your chosen colour and finish. Simply share your bakes with the hashtag #SweetTreatsrecipe and we’ll be in touch with our favourites to arrange their prize! Competition closes 30/11/23.

Embrace the new season with warming, autumnal recipes such as our Cinnamon Hot Chocolate, rich Guinness Split Pink Cupcakes and Pear Galette, topped with a silky Butterscotch Sauce. Or you could test your baking skills with traditional Italian, sugared Bomboloni doughnuts, complete with your favourite filling.

There is a star difficulty rating on each recipe page, so you can find the ideal recipe to suit your skillset. Our simple, buttery Madeleines are perfect for a weekend bake with little ones, whilst the sophisticated Muscovado Meringues and Affogato will be a winner at any dinner party. For a real showstopper, try the elegant and indulgent Ganache Cake, which perfectly accompanies our rich chocolate brown, Ganache.

The ‘Sweet Treats’ collection includes time-honoured shades which have been recreated from walls, woodwork and furniture at historic places in the care of the National Trust. The elegant warm stone, Split Pink, adorned the walls of the great staircase at Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire, while the orange-brown, Galette, can be seen on the stage doors at the Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds. To celebrate this aspect of the collection, we have also included a selection of National Trust recipes, from traditional Bakewell slices to vegan Caramelised biscuit blondies.
