Boozy Christmas Cake


Made these a few weeks ago. Simple recipe, almost too simple. Hmmm might have to eat some just to check it's OK ;) Feeding them with alcohol every few weeks before they get iced.

Vegan Birthday Cake for My Mate Hazel

I used the Victoria Sponge recipe for my cake. First attempt at decorating, so happy enough. Covered cake in buttercream before covering with fondant (You can buy ready made or make your own). I used little icing pens I found in Poundland, anything for an easy life.

I added chocolate chips to mine, which settled near the bottom in a chocolately gooey mess, possibly improving the recipe. Fondant topping has lemon flavouring, just to confuse folk.

Victoria Sponge



I've never had Victoria sponge before so have no way of knowing if it was a success or not. It was firm, springy and syrupy. You could have taken it to the bath, had a wash with it, then had it with a cup of tea. I liked it! The recipe quantities make a hearty big cake.

Peanut Butter Cookie Time!


Total prep and baking time only takes 20 mins. Didn't spread as much as I'd like, maybe because I used Soya spread? Taste lovely. Went against my own better judgement and formed the recommended 18 cookies, too small. Go for 12.
