After all, when life is really hectic there are times when we all need to spoil ourselves with an indulgent treat, but that doesn't have to mean spending hours in the kitchen. Colourful milkshake funnel cakes have all the fun of fresh doughnuts with none of the fuss. A giant time-saving cookie is so easy it is fried in the pan, and a glistening nutty baklava looks so impressive but is completely foolproof. On the road, Nadiya joins the Tate and Lyle tea on the River Thames to find out how they produce one of her favourite fast tracks to flavour - golden syrup. And in Liverpool, she helps a new dad bake a luxurious chocolate birthday cake that takes no time at all.
