Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea delights that I made for someone to throw a surprise Wedding Shower.  There were 3 types of filled scones, maple & walnut, lemon & sultana & plain, a lemon drizzle cake, a coffee cake, a chocolate orange fudge cake & a classic Victoria sponge, mmmm, making me hungry.....

First Macaron

Made just for us, they looked & tasted gorgeous, almost too good to eat!

Charity Cake Sale

I made these to sell at a charity football day but sadly it rained so much I didn't take any photo's outside of the house!  Luckily (because I think most people liked the thought of getting home, drying off and getting warm with a brew!) they all sold!

Jammy Little Buggar :)

Just trying out some baked jam doughnuts on the boyzees, approved :-)

A Trio of Cakes

A chocolate fudge, a coconut & raspberry & a lemon cream Victoria sponge, all made to celebrate a birthday, something for everyone to enjoy :)

50th Wedding Anniversary

A massive 50!  One 3-layer lemon madeira with homemade lemon curd & lemon buttercream & one fruit cake.  The decoration was to be kept simple, just with a hint of gold.  Complemented by 50 cupcakes, chocolate, lemon meringue & coconut & raspberry.  

Battenburg Cake

Just a little coffee battenburg I've been wanting to try since last years Great British Bake Off, it was delicious and not even that tricky!  It didn't last long, cheers Mary Berry! (for the recipe, not for eating it!)

Leaving Cakes

So many pics I know but I was proud of the cupcake feast that I took to celebrate/commiserate my last day at OAG :(  There were chocolate, mocha, lemon, strawberry & coconut & raspberry - & yes, I think I did actually have 1 of each!

Chocolate Orange Fudge Cake

A 4 layer chocolate orange sponge filled with an orange scented cream & layers of chocolate orange buttercream. Topped with chocolate orange ganache.

Mint Chocolate Meringues

Little Mint Chocolate Meringues - made as a Thank You gift for some friends hosting a Come Dine with Me evening.  Which would have been perfect if she hadn't pulled out the most amazing winter berry pavlova for dessert!

Mini Coconut Cakes

More coconut & raspberry cakes but this time a cute mini version which just melted in the mouth - so good I ate 3 that day :-0

Lemon Meringue Cake

Like Lemon Meringue? Like cake?  How about both together?  A delicious sponge topped with (crispy on the outside, gooey in the middle) meringue, filled with homemade lemon curd & whipped cream - a lovely cake for Spring.  Or Summer, or anytime really :)

Lemon Meringue Cupcake

Coconut Cake

A delicious coconut sponge with coconut frosting & raspberry jam, coated in more buttercream frosting - perfect for afternoon tea!

Coffee Fudge Squares

Went a bit coffee crazy this week - here's some delicious

coffee sponge cakes with a coffee fudge icing, so nice

Swaz had 3! :-)

Coffee Cake

Just a small slice?!!!! No way give me a big fat huge piece.

Blackberry Crumble Loaf

The Mother-in-Laws' favourite, even better when served warm with
or without custard!

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Carrot & sultana loaf with a sweet cream cheese frosting.

Courgette Cake with Lemon Frosting

Definitely worth a try, absolutely delicious!

Strawberry Meringue Cake

Lovely summery dessert.
