What was the last cake that you made??

[StirlingTheStrong]

I am just waiting for a carrot cake to finish baking and can't wait....

What did you last bake and was it good?

Helped DD make fairy cakes today, but she di most of it while I tried to find my chicken recipe.

I rarely bake. But I do love to.
Today I made a Lemon and white chocolate cheesecake.

The other day did Banoffee mess.

The last cake I made was a chocolate and beetroot cake.
It was rather yummy, even DD3 (who can be a fussy eater) thought the beetroot was delicious - It was the chocolate chips that she liked!!!!!! - bless

Really all the beetroot gives is a rather gorgeous colour.

Not a cake, but made mince pies (to use the last of the Christmas mincemeat) and jam tarts this afternoon. Yum!

mynaughtylittlesister I was just talking to someone about the chocolate and beetroot cake and we were wondering whether it would be nice!

The carrot cake I made last night is lovely - lots of orange zest and juice in it gives it a great flavour

Me and dd made a trifle yesterday!

chocolate sponge on Saturday. Perfect as always (preens)

I made a strawberry tiramisu last Friday, a chocolate truffle cake last Thursday, and a chocolate and almond cake last Wednesday .

I hardly ever make cakes or desserts, but was on a roll trying to use up ingredients that were past approaching their use-by dates .

Does the honey sponge pudding I made on Saturday count as a cake? It was deliciously sticky and yummy.

A chocolate, potato and cherry cake for DS's birthday (needed something quite solid so that I could carve it for decorating and knew that particular cake would do the job).

I made a victoria sandwich yesterday and it was lovely

Red Velvet Cake for a raspberry trifle at the weekend.

Before that a lemon pound cake. I bake often because it's so calming.

A chocolate cake with ds2 yesterday.

As it came out of the oven we put blocks of plain choc on the top so they melted and we didnt have to melt it in a pan of boiling water.

Sandwiched it together with nutella. Yum!

Made orange and pumpkin seed muffins yesterday with the kids [smug smiley insert here]
Oh and did a nice round of fluffly american style pancakes for Sunday brunch too (not really cakes but were sweet and yummy all the same)

Planning on making a banana bread later as I noticed a few of them were looking a little past their best in the fruit bowl this morning.

I have banana choccy muffs in the oven now

pineapple upside down cake for dh's birthday on wed, used raw cane sugar and cherries for pineapple centres.

ooh laurie, could I have the recipe for those please??

MAde ds2's birthday cake (party wqs yesterday_ as a first birthday cake I was quite proud of it. Triple chocolate chip, iced in blue (with edible glitter from the poncy shop) waves on the bottom half of a square, white ot top, name on the white and a dolphin (fish / sealife mad) on the join; blue roll out on the sides.

Stirling (ds2) said the cake was embarassing thogh- all his friends get 'proper bought ones'. Spoilt tike.

Cake? You mean, from scratch?

I am making Dora the Explorer fairy cakes from a packet this afternoon with DS, if that counts?
