I like baking. Scroll down to see what I've made!
As we know, I’m a year behind on my ‘cooking from my calendar’ series. Nevertheless I’m carrying on and so here is July’s recipe, which I actually made some time in September 2018 for a party that my parents were going to.
The recipe is strawberry, ricotta, lemon and cream tart.
So. Let’s discuss.
This month’s recipe from the calendar is rock cakes.
Please, I’ve been making rock cakes basically since I was born. I think they were the second thing I ever baked with my mum (after fairy cakes of course).
They are a favourite of my dad. I also don’t mind rock cakes, even though they have dried fruit in them. My Uncle Ron puts a pinch of cinnamon in his and they’re lovely.
This month’s recipe is Earl Grey Tea Loaf.
I’ll say this right now. This is not a cake for me. There is far too much dried fruit in here and it’s not covered in buttercream.
So what do I do with cakes that aren’t my thing? That’s right – take them home to my mum and Dad who like stuff with dried fruit in a lot more than I do.
February’s recipe on the calendar is chocolate hazelnut cupcakes.
Now. I am a fan of chocolate, I am a fan of hazelnuts (well, Nutella which is what is in the icing) and I am a fan of cupcakes so there’s not really a lot that can go wrong here is there?
No! No there isn’t. These were great so this is basically just a lot of pictures of them.
Welcome to a brand new series here on Flynntacular!
When I bought a cake magazine just before Christmas, it came with a free calendar which has a recipe on each month. So this year I’ll be baking my way through the calendar…
