Spiced Plum Cake

Spiced Plum Cake

On Christmas morning, I was in the kitchen with my younger son, who desperately wanted to help with the cooking.  As we’re vegetarian, and not really into the whole Christmas thing, dinner was nontraditional (enchilladas) followed by a very English-style pudding.  I had the dinner under control, so I supervised the cake making and I did [...]

Orange & Almond Cake with Lavender Syrup

Orange and almond cake with lavender syrup

If you read my post on my first disastrous week of getting a bit fitter then you will be wondering how I can possibly improve if I make cakes. Then eat them.  You would be right to wonder and I am trying to come up with even the slightest reasonable excuse.  Erm… my husband made me do [...]

Birthday Cake and Burial Mounds

Daniel on his birthday

June has not been an exciting month thus far.  It’s been ok – don’t get me wrong but it’s been a bit on the bland side.  I haven’t been anywhere apart from local towns and the supermarket (which I seem to frequent way too often). Yesterday was the summer solstice and my celebration was small.  [...]
