RAW Baking

I have found a number of photos with a common theme. Me and cake! A mix of good ole homemade cake and some fabulous desserts and cakes I have enjoyed whilst at a cafe or restaurant Cheesecake Lashings of custard with this pudding Afternoon cream tea in Malaysia Good ole cherry iced bun Sticky toffee pudding. Absolutely divine! This is the bake off I had on my 40th birthday. There was sooo much cake. A small slice of red velvet cake!

Vanilla sponge filled with strawberry jam and whipped buttercream. Decorated with a selection of colourful spring flowers made of fondant icing. 

These are a classic and very easy to make. Here's my recipe . Highly recommended warm out of the oven with a cup of coffee on a cold Sunday afternoon. True comfort food!

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!

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. 

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