Now, I can cook and I can bake but I have not done a lot of fine baking...I make a mean carrot cake and can bake one for 20 people. I can make a nice fruit cake. I can make big sponges and chocolate cakes....I have made wedding and christening cakes. I also make nice tiffin and flapjacks and profiteroles.
Yes I am a rustic queen
I can happily cater for a hungry bunch of 20 but a delicate tea for 4?
now cup cakes will not be on the menu. I like a nice fairy cake but a tower of icing with bits of sugar on top is not for me.
I might make some éclairs as I am good with choux pastry.
and there will have to be scones.... Now I found myself looking through different scone recipe's to try and find the perfect one. I am fussy when it comes to scones as I do not like to taste the raising agent yet still like a light scone...I think that there are lots of experiments in the offing.....
the savories....a nice egg bridge roll, cucumber sandwiches, smoked salmon sandwiches.
then some delicate cakes and pastries. ....
One of our team is leaving next week to have a baby (pregnancy seems to be catching) so we are having a little lunch for her on Monday. So on Sunday I will be rolling up my sleeves and practising some cake making to share with the team.....
This weekend will not be to busy although we have a Party to go to on Saturday night!!!
Yay a party, it does not happen often, a chance to put on some make up and put on some heels should be nice. Only 1 more day of work left then its the weekend. Yay.
