let there be cake

last year I made a resolution to start using all my recipe books (I have an awful lot) and somehow it just didn't happen.

this year I have an accomplice - Miss K!

last night it was music to my ears when a little voice said

"mummy you know next week is half term"

"yes........"

"can we make banana bread like Auntie C and ginger cake, and can we bake every day?"

that's my girl!



to celebrate I made marmalade buns from Cherry cake and ginger beer, well I made 6 buns, and one loaf - typically it wasn't cooked when it was time to go to E's swimming lesson, so I turned the oven off and left it in, and now it's a bit dark - I just put extra icing on.
and because they have marmalade in I had some for breakfast. so much better than cornflakes!



Miss K is holding out for Grandpa's birthday cake, because tradition dictates chocolate!

  3. Chocolate cake was always an essential part of MY dad's birthday, too. Gee! Wonder where you and I got our, um, appreciation of chocolate????

    I can't seem to get past the fact that that looks like melted mozzarella cheese in the first photo. Better send me some to prove it's not.
