    I can't believe it's been a full 3 weeks since anyone posted!

    Trying to get my baking mojo back and this thread was my go-to first stop for inspiration. I fancy coffee and walnut / date and walnut cake.

    I'm glad you rekindled this thread :T.
    I've not been baking much besides the weekly loaf, as still watching my weight and thanks to oven problems....

    I really need to do something with apples soon, probably a sponge first - once OH fixed the issue with the oven...:)

  • I've been lurking, but also not baking much. I'm making my friends wedding cake/cupcakes next month as a present, so saving my monies for that. I miss baking though!

    I'm getting my fix by watching bake-off and extra slice at the moment - I so want to make and eat something really nice like that :(

    I made chocolate brownie cupcakes topped with salted caramel frosting and toffee sauce. No pictures because they're not pretty :p

    Purple - looking amazing as usual....

    Smooch - they sound lush, who cares what they look like if it's for you and yours :)

    I had an epic fail today - tried to make 'Blondies' by using my trusted recipe for brownies and replacing dark choc for white - it must have split as it was not good - hey-Ho- back to the drawing board.

    Making brownies and lemon drizzle sheet cakes tomorrow for friends, hope it's back to in the kitchen as I also messed up a chicken curry today, was okay, but not like it usually turns out.....
