What have you baked this week?

[Eve]

I did a chocolate sponge with vanilla and coffee buttercream for my work team today and am currently baking a cake for Movember celebrations tomorrow - chocolate and vanilla sponge with chocolate topping and chocolate spaghetti stuff to make it look moustache like - not sure if I'm brave enough to try and cut it into a moustache shape in case it collapses haha!

Wondering whether to pop some chilli powder in the chocolate to jazz it up a bit :)

What have you baked this week?

[Psybbo]

I used to bake, trouble was we ate them all. Stopped now

[Prudie]

I rarely bake (or cook) but this week I've made 2 chocolate sponges with buttercream filling and fudge topping. OH's birthday so I had to take most of it to share out with his work colleagues.

Nothing yet, but this weekend is my friend's babyshower which I am catering. I am doing an afternoon-tea style. I am doing finger sandwiches, mini lemon drizzle cakes, fruit tartlets, mini choc cakes, mini victoria sponges, macarons and little scones.

[Eve]

Haha Sibton! :) Sounds lovely Prudie! I don't really eat much cake type stuff at home so I bake for work, charity things and for my team, so nice to be baking things again!

Wow Vodka, sounds amazing! Do you need a tasting assistant ;)

Movember cake finished and am all baked out for tonight! (Photos on FB V :)) x

Mmmmmm. Cake.

Living alone - i rarely bake, however i can be creative in the kitchen if need be.
For example - i'll be making a pate for the starter at the family christmas meal

Me and thing 1 (off school poorly) made some shortbread - looked a bit ropey but tasted lovely.

I usually make scones, sausage rolls and a few buns but we've tried to cut down on cakes etc. for the past two weeks. I did make a plum and apple crumble for dessert on Monday though.

Just a batch of cheese scones - but they were rather yummy...

[seadogg]

4 loaves, made with 1kg Allisons wholemeal and 1 kg white. Used to do cake but too busy these days.

[mrs_overall]

seadogg, what about your famous cod souffle?

[Psybbo]

Hi Jenna, I used to bake for birthdays at work, usually a Victoria sponge but retired now but you've inspired me, may make one next week xx

[mrs_overall]

I can't bake to save my life. Everything I bake looks like a 4 year old made it

[sherrardk]

Mrs O - do what I do, get a 4 year old to 'help' and no one says anything bad about it.

[seadogg]

Hi! Mrs. O. Sorry about the landslip near you. If it keeps on siling down we'll all need flippers.

[Eve]

That will probably be the state of mine Mrs O seeing as I have a hospital appointment first thing and am walking with a stick at the moment so that combined with 3 buses before getting into work may spell cake disaster! :) It's definitely the thought that counts...

[vodkancoke]

I saw it Jenna, it looks fab! Yum yum! ;) xxx

[mrs_overall]

seadogg, the houses being demolished are on the East Side. I live on the more "rayfayned" West side

Bread

[janbee]

I made a lemon meringue pie for someone but decided it looked too nice so I ate it all myself. THAT is why I rarely, if ever, bake...I eat it all !!

[fredkins]

Not this week but last week I made a bacon/egg quiche,cheese/onion quiche,mince/onion pie and a corned beef and potato pie and all were dived upon as they came out of the oven,nothing left by the next day.
