Firstly, let me apologise for my late night blogging! Who’s
up reading blogs at this time of night...besides those of you who don’t live in
England and it’s probably a reasonable time of day! I do have an excuse
however, as I have been doing ALOT of baking...
Yesterday I embarked on another epic bake-a-thon! Last year
I did my first bake-a-thon for my Dad when he wanted to take cakes to work for
his birthday, and since I have done a number of bake-a-thons for cake sales
that his work often hold for charity.
Yesterday, I was baking for my boyfriend Jon’s birthday
(which is today! Happy birthday!) He too wanted to take cakes to work – he’s
still very new so wanted to make a good impression! I told him he could have
ANY cakes he wanted...after all, he was paying! But we decided to keep it
relatively simple, one batch of vanilla cupcakes topped with vanilla butter
cream and dolly mixtures, one batch of chocolate cupcakes topped with chocolate
butter cream (made with a mix of dark and milk chocolate for depth of flavour
and sweetness) and a sprinkle of M&M’s, and finally one batch of blueberry
muffins!
Anyway here’s some food porn for you, a few snaps I took before boxing the cakes up for transportation...you know I think I’m going to have to start charging for my services!
Enjoy!
