I like baking. Scroll down to see what I've made!

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.

Potatoes.

And by ‘everyone’, I mean three people because there are only three jars of it.
I made strawberry jam!
