I like baking. Scroll down to see what I've made!
Well after posting an adventurous avocado cake last week I thought I’d post something slightly tamer this week, albeit it’s about a cake I don’t really like.
I don’t really like dried fruit. “Does she like any food?!”, I hear you exclaim. “She doesn’t like avocado, she doesn’t like dried fruit! What does she eat???”
Potatoes.

“Replace the butter in cookies with avocado! You can’t tell the difference!”
NO, I shout. I LIKE BUTTER.
“You’re having eggs and toast? Why not have it with smashed avocado? Nom nom nom!!!!!!”
NO, I shout. I JUST LIKE EGGS.

So in another blog post I wrote where I cooked from a cook book from 1975, I mentioned two very vintage recipes in it that I said I would tackle.

One of my colleagues is pregnant and someone came up with the idea of revealing whether it was a boy or a girl to the office via a cake.
Weeks that are full of cake are the best weeks, I think.
I kicked off the week with a banoffee pie, made a pear and honey cake as my next bake, and then made even more over the weekend.
Let me tell you, if there’s one person with as many cookbooks as me, it’s my mum.
I went home one weekend to dog sit and the dog was a bit clingy as my mum and dad were away and she didn’t really want to do anything.
At the end of last year my dad was diagnosed with cancer. After an operation to remove it, he’s been going to hospital every other week for chemo, which hasn’t been all that fun for him at all.
Anyway, he’s now finished his chemo and went back in to get the results of his CT scan to make sure he’s cancer free.
At work we decided to have an afternoon tea one lunchtime to celebrate an impending wedding, an upcoming birthday and for a bit of team bonding.
I volunteered to make all the cakes which seemed like an excellent idea at the time. After the fourth trip to Tesco in a row, I changed my mind a bit.
