Is this cake POPular?? September 27, 2008

Birthday time!!!!!!!! - & we all know what this means…
Birthday CAKE time!!!!!!!!!!
Damn right, it’s cake time of year again – well, I say again… I’ve never actually made a birthday cake before *blush blush*. However, hopefully I have done the task justice this year with my themed cake. Go on, guess what it was shaped as [...]

Who let DAD loose in the kitchen? September 3, 2008

So this is… a cobbler, you say?
Need I really explain why my Dad does not usually cook?
You know, I think it must run in the family…

We simply CAN’T have a fish pie without prawns! August 15, 2008

 I mentioned in my last post that we had recently been on holiday – we were staying with old friends in their house by the sea.

This meant that when, one Sunday evening [...]

Not just any cake… A Gâteau [...]
