50


Friday is my day to bake our weekend cake. Today's recipe was kindly sent to me by the lovely Gigibird & as she promised it turned out to be fabulous! I can't believe how easy it was to make & my hubby now thinks I am officially a Domestic Goddess once more (after that bad coconut cake incident!) The recipe comes from Mary Berry's Ultimate Cake Book which I'm now going to search for on ebay :)



I got out some Christmas fabric today to get me in the mood to start my crafty projects for the season. What is it about piles of fabric & cats? No sooner had I turned my back....Mr Bosco settled himself down for a nap!

Anyway folks....not much to write about today (shame as it's my 50th post) but I'll be back with tales of Bonfire Night & our weekend soon. Until then cheerio! x

I'm pleased your Bara Brith was well received - Mary Berry may not be considered high fashion, but she's not called the Queen of Cakes for nothing! Her tray bakes will get your husband eating out of your hand!
Nice fabric by the way; fabric and cats, how I miss my dear old pussy cat.
Next time you bake the BB try using Earl Grey, or add a little bit of orange zest - slightly gilding the lily, but will get you even more compliments:)
