Happy Birthday Princess C

Q. What's the difference between a Black Forest Cake and a Black Forest Gâteau?
A. Nothing - except that the English try to make a German cake sound fancy by calling it 'cake' in French, instead of say calling it by it's German name Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte...

Baking Update

Oh don't think just coz we haven't updated that we haven't been baking! We've had some failed attempts at green tea macarons. The first batch went straight into the bin, the second batch looks like green shit but tasted ok. Don't think we even bothered to take pics of either batches, but stay tuned we will succeed!

Black Forest cake was also on the baking agenda for Princess C's b'day. Pics and review to come!

Sunday Morning Madeleines

First item off the list!



Gordon supervises with his mouth shut

Red Velvet Cupcakes

So Princess C found a fab video of the Red Velvet cupcakes recipe by Magnolia Bakery right here
Mr Smith you have been warned - you might come home and find Princess C and Queen B bouncing off the walls from all the red food colour (higher than the normal levels of hyperness!)
