Something the ganterpies at work have long proven to be true; cake may provide one of your 5 a day, or be a substitute breakfast, or satisfy the craving for chocolate that seems to be built into the female psyche. Looking through photos yesterday I realised I have baked quite a few of them over time.
So. Here they are. For anyone at work reading this - you can request that I make one of these specially. You could even comment on it!
 |
| Gluten Free (GF) Polenta Cake, before icing and topping applied |
 |
| Lemony Olive Oil Banana Bread with chocolate chunks and a glaze |
 |
| Chelsea buns - surprisingly easy to make |
 |
| Bubble-bread. Looked great but - over-baked and rather dry. I'll know better next time |
 |
| Cheesecake - not sure which one. Banana? |
 |
| Chewy Monkey Bars, before being cut up into bars. Or a single giant monkey bar |
 |
| Muffins - meringue-topped |
 |
| Muffins again - look to be sultana ones |
 |
| Christmas cupcakes - looking a bit bedraggled as they weren't completely cool before being put into the tins |
 |
| GF Apple Pie. Gritty pastry thanks to tapioca not being ground small enough! |
 |
| I think this is actually I'm not sure. It had a lemon icing poured over it. Does that help? |
 |
| Nieman-Marcus cookies, Honey & Whisky cake, Yorkshire brack and brownies |
 |
| GF Pumpkin cake, possibly made with butternut squash instead of pumpkin. |
 |
| Extra-moist GF fruit cake |
 |
| Polenta cake fully assembled |
 |
| Cookies! |
 |
| Bannoffee muffins? |
 |
| Molasses and Ginger cake. Treacle and Ginger cake for the UK |
 |
| Valentine sponge cake. Difficult to slice equally! |
 |
| Three layer carrot cake. It had to be transfixed with bamboo skewers for me to cut it properly |
 |
| Fruit puree for ice-cream. I know, it isn't a cake, but aren't I versatile? |
 |
| Green dragon pie. Biscuit base, cream and marshmallow filling |
 |
| Conrad's cream cakes - minging one on the right, wonderful huge Mary Berry one at left |
 |
| There's about 60 biscuits sandwiched together there. Fiddly and delicate work, sandwiching. |
 |
| A loaf. No, it isn't a cake, and making bread is a lot trickier than baking cakes |
 |
| These were for Red Nose Day. |
