Today I will bake the usual FRench style loaf - not decided on the shape yet. If after 10 days away I can find enough black or even red currants (the birds were nesting in them) I will make a meringue cake with currants and hazelnuts

The only thing that's been baked today is me, spent 2 1/2 hours onv A1M, M25 and M4 going and 4 1/2 hours coming back in 'beginning of the holidays' traffic. Oh, and my bottle of water almost boiled too. Not nice!

CRAIGYV omg i remember having them at a party i went to once when i was about 7, i have always remembered them but not quite how to replicate them because i had never seen them before or after this party, i am not sure if it was a northern thing because it was while i lived up there for a few years, oh thankyou for reminding me about them, ive got to try them now haha even though i am 40 years older!!!!!

Chi-me

I posted this on the 'dinner' thread but think it should be here.

My child like decoration leaves a lot to be desired but this is my St Clement's cake (I don't know if that's what everybody else calls it but I have since I first made on about 30 years ago).
