The Caked Crusader's Description:
So, the answer to the question you’re all asking: who am I? Well, a superhero never reveals their identity. I think it’s stated somewhere in the contract when you sign up for superhero-dom. Let’s just call me THE CAKED CRUSADER.

Cherry and almond cake
25 July 2010
Fruit, sponge and a crunchy sugar topping – it doesn’t take much to please me! You’ll see in my footnote below that this was rather a last minute bake but that doesn’t detract from just how tasty it was. It was certainly a crowd pleaser too, and disappeared in a blink of an eye! Almond in ...
Interflora “Sweet Nostalgia” hamper
20 July 2010
As I type I am a very happy Caked Crusader. My fingers are slightly sticky as I have been unable to resist unwrapping a fruit salad sweet from the gorgeous Interflora Sweet Nostalgia hamper; this is just one of the many amazing hampers that Interflora have in their range. The quality of this ...
Coconut sandwich cake with coconut buttercream
18 July 2010
Whilst rummaging through my larder cupboard this week I found something I’d bought a while back and not really considered since: cream of coconut. I got it from a large off-licence and it’s meant for making cocktails, hence the rather snazzy squeezy bottle. Far more practical too as, once you ...
Mrs Portions' Potables
14 July 2010
My dear friends, Mr and Mrs Portions, have finally – after much encouragement from me (i.e. nagging) – set up their own blog: Mrs Portions’ Potables Why not say hello and check out their liqueur-making exploits?
Chocolate and almond cake
11 July 2010
This is a Delia recipe is actually called ‘moist chocolate and almond cake’. I can’t help that feel ‘moist’ is superfluous in a cake’s title because who wants to bake a dry cake? Anyway, pedantry aside, I had a hankering for a chocolate cake this week; it had to be sinful enough so I my ...
History corner – Coronation Pineapple layer cake
04 July 2010
Now if I were to tell you that this pineapple layer cake comes from a booklet of recipes to celebrate the coronation you would probably think I was talking about Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953. And you’d be wrong! This recipe comes from a souvenir supplement presented with ...
Strawberry and clotted cream cupcakes...plus other World Cup fun
27 June 2010
I knew I was taking a gamble in leaving England World Cup cupcakes until the weekend after the first round but luckily England bucked up their ideas and these cakes remain topical (I knew I had to make them before their first knock out match though!!!). However, whilst putting this post up England ...
Father’s day cake – Guinness cake
20 June 2010
Picking a cake for the CCD (Caked Crusader’s Da) is always tricky – he’s definitely my toughest customer! He struggles with anything too sweet; the definition of “struggles” in this context is a strange array of squeaks and hiccups whilst muttering “too sweet” in between gasps for ...
Caramel apple loaf cake
13 June 2010
I don’t make that many loaf cakes which is a shame as they have to be the easiest cakes to portion (I think I’ve mentioned my cake-cutting phobia in the past)! They also have a rustic look to them that I find inviting. This week’s cake muse was the CCD who chose the ingredient of ...
Iron Cupcake London Challenge XI – Celebration
10 June 2010
Our eleventh challenge marked Iron Cupcake London’s first birthday – we are one! Our theme was that of ‘celebration’, which our entrants interpreted in many (brilliant) ways. I know I always say it but the standard was incredibly high – when you see the entries laid out along the bar ...
