I've just taken flapjacks out of the oven. I can make scones and cakes with few problems but somehow whatever recipe I use my flapjacks always come out a bit odd. I make them for someone who can't have wheat and luckily for me they're happy with them however they come out!0

I love the whole afternoon tea experience. I also love hotel breakfasts, all that white linen and gleaming silverware. I think I was born into the wrong family really, and probably the wrong era as well.:rotfl::hello: :wave: please play nicely children !0

Go for it Mr_Singleton! Baking is fun
I made two chocolate cakes this weekend, covered in chocolate ganache, then fondant and decorated. One for a birthday and t'other for church anniversary. Only I went really overboard with the chocolate ganache - the first slice I cut was almost entirely ganache
