Un tel cavalier joli petit gâteau - I Heart Cupcakes
09 March 2010 in Cake Decorating Enthusiasts
I was browsing in Look magazine today after a trip to the doctors and spotted this rather cute jumper in their weekly round up of new clothing from Top Shop. It's cute and rather reminds me of those stripey jumpers all French people are meant to wear, hence the title. If you don't believe me Google ...
Ken's Flying Scotsman - Chocolatey's Cakes
09 March 2010 in Cake Decorating Enthusiasts
Had a run of disasters with this one. Didn't leave myself much time and when I cut the first cake - it hadn't cooked all the way through - so had to do another one. Meant it was a bit rushed. Quite happy with the result bearing in mind the timescale!
Iron Cupcake London - The Caked Crusader
09 March 2010 in Cake Making Recipes
I've have tried to email you all personally, and have also posted on twitter, but just to make sure no one's left out: the April Iron Cupcake London has been postponed until May. Sorry about this but work commitments are taking me away from London. The theme of the next challenge will still be ...

Peanut Butter Dips - The Goddess's Kitchen
08 March 2010 in Cake Making Recipes

Casserole Dish Baked Bread - Apple & Spice
07 March 2010 in Cake Making Recipes
I adore the bread you can buy from artisan bakeries. You know the kind - the ones with the thin crisp golden crust, a tender crumb studded with air holes and a nice chew. I have tried many times to create this at home, baking bread on a pizza stone, spritzing the oven with water, brushing the bread ...
Homemade Fish and Chips with Mushy Peas - Chocolate Teapot
07 March 2010 in Cake Making Recipes
I reckon my greatest culinary discovery since moving to the UK has been Mushy Peas. Love 'em! Can't get enough of 'em! But I don't eat nearly as much of them as I would like to, mainly because the Brits always seem to stare at me with an odd expression of unfathomable curiosity on their faces every ...
Drink or rethink? - Cake or Mistake?
07 March 2010 in Cake Making Recipes
I has the most random drink last night. It was a gloopy yellow shot – that tasted like cake mixture… We were on a bar crawl which required drinking a different coloured shot in each place, and in this particular bar we had to get a yellow shot. So we chose this one, by drinking company ...

When is a fruitcake not a fruitcake? When it's a Dundee Cake - Let Her Bake Cake
06 March 2010 in Cake Making Recipes
I promised a traditional Scottish treat to accompany my last post, and here it is. Now, I'll be the first to throw my hands up and admit that Dundee cake isn't a perfect match for a post on Edinburgh. After all, Dundee is a good 60 miles away. But I couldn't think of a cake that originated in ...
Thin and That - Cooking, Cakes & Children
06 March 2010 in Cake Decorating Enthusiasts
Sometimes the children say the funniest things and Grace came out with a few cracking remarks today. The first was when we left the cake shop after buying decorating supplies this morning. I’d told the lady there that I was decorating a dummy cake. Once we got outside Grace looked at me and ...

Tick, tick, tick - Cakes by Fiona Barnett
05 March 2010 in Cake Decorating Services
As you probably have gathered by now, the blog entries are a bit of a feast or famine. This is mainly down to finding some spare time to be able to sit down and put pen to paper, or more accurately fingers to keyboard. Not that I'm complaining. Given the choice of being busy or waiting for the next ...

Gingerbread Men & Women - Cake Off
28 February 2010 in Cake Decorating Enthusiasts
… and a few hearts (it was close to valentines day) I thought it was about time that Ivy and I did some proper baking together, and what better to start with than Gingerbread men – or people, to be more PC. I nearly made the recipe from the Hummingbird Bakery book but that involved ...
