Yesterday we made some macaroons,which unfortuanately are a bit crisp-we think our mistake was to use large and not medium eggs.Also a plain Victoria sponge in my new sponge tins-a Mary Berry recipe.It's very good and my first attempt.
Today we've tried a coffee Victoria sponge,which is wickedly delicious!Another Mary Berry recipe.I feel like a proper baker now!0 -
