Back to it!

Well, I've had nearly two weeks off, Ian took Freya into work with him today and Megan is away on a Chinese course all week so I thought it was time I got back to it.

Today I have managed to work on a few more pages of my book. I had already taken the photos before I went to Devon last week to see my parents so I have the evidence if not the cakes left!

Firstly, it was iced fairy cakes, always a favourite

with Megan and Freya. They like to help decorate

them too and lick the icing off the spoons!

Next, Bakewell Tart, which Heather Manthorpe

said was the best she has ever tasted!!

Mars Bar Cake, deliciously moreish!

Finally for today Chocolate Chunk Cookies, you

can't beat these when they are still warm from

the oven, mmm!!

Hopefully I'll have a chance to get on with some more later but Freya is now back from her morning at the office with daddy, apparently she was an absolute superstar!!

WI Reunion!

Well I had a fantastic night last night! No baking involved, but met up with all my girlfriends from the WI! Started at The Hermitage in Kingsbridge, then a curry followed by more reminiscing and playing pool in The Quay. We decided it must have been at least 11 years since all 6 of us have been together.

Many thanks to Sarah Day, Claire Harvey, Sheena Day, Sarah Cleary and Sarah Catchpole for the best night.

Lets hope it's not another 11 years before we all manage to get together again.

A Busy Morning!

We're off to visit mum and pops tomorrow so some baking was in order today.

Pecan pie is my pops' favourite so I had to make one to take with me. I fancied some white chocolate and apricot flapjack, sort of healthy maybe not!! Then Freya came in to the kitchen asking if I was making caramel shortbread and offering to help, how could I possibly refuse!? So one became three and we're in for some nice treats over the next few days. Especially when I spoke to mum earlier and she has made a chocolate cake too! Delicious!!
