Boozy Christmas Cake

This year's Christmas cake was one of my best yet. It smelt lovely and boozy - I had used Carribean rum given to me by a friend. The cake was just right, not too moist and cut slices very easily. The chillies i used to decorate together with rosemary from the garden were last minute decoration ideas!

Ellis 8th Birthday Cake

Classic coffee cake

A wonderful colleague, Mary-Ann who we shall all miss left work today after 10 years at Hastoe. I made her one of her favourites cakes. The classic coffee cake. 

Christmas baking for everyone at work

Today at work, we enjoyed Blondies (filled with white chocolate and some peanut butter), Snow flecked brownies and Glitter shortbread. 

Mince Pies

Today as it was wet and windy I made some mince pies. The pastry is made with ground almonds and uses egg yolk which gives it a nice and delicate texture.  Christmas is coming!!
