Continuing the cake making saga I have now produced the best fruitcake in the world ever having been through a bit a panic in the making.
Wrong sized tin
Wrong ingredients for the recipe
It is interesting that although I like an ordered life and following fixed instructions when it comes to cakes I become quite Gung Ho.
It a bit of a case of ok thats the rough idea of ingredients and thats roughly how you make it and then having a cake sat in the oven and a kitchen looking as if a tribe of inebriated chimpanzees have had a G and T party!
Now my kitchen comes equipped with my late mums cake tins rolling pin an lots of ingredients snaffled from her kitchen cupboards although I did throw out anything that was more than 5 years past its sell by date.
Having vowed that July was Ginger Cakes and August was fruit cakes I now do solemnly declare that September will be pastry and I feel certain that at this rate it will take a lot of exercise to walk off the sampling regime and a lot more than my lucky apron to make my pastry taste right.
Thats the end of the cooking update back soon with more adventures in Air Dry Clay. I so hope I dont get the two mixed up!!
