Week 50: Blueberry cheesecake

This is what was left of the cake by the time I managed to get my camera out :-s Again getting one of your five a day into cake seems to work well!

Week 49: Lemon Meringue Pie

Quite a nice one to make as it uses as many yolks as it does whites!

Week 48: Bakewell tart

Sadly eaten too quickly to get a picture, although I guess that it a good thing!

Week 47: Chocolate and banana cupcakes

Another ingenious way of getting one of your 5 a day!

Week 46: Hot cross buns

It had to be done since its nearly easter. The cross is made out of a flour and water paste piped on. Mary Berry recommends shortcrust pastry but I think that is just a bit weird, pastry in the middle of a sweet roll?

Week 45: Raspberry ripple cupcake with white choc icing

Go on then, I'll just have the one ;-)
One of my dappy workmates thought I actually carved this myself, oh dear!!

Week 44: Fruit cake

I have been putting this off for a long time as I thought it was hard to do and you had to keep feeding the cake alcohol for weeks on end. But I found a quick recipe so made that and it still tasted ok I think. That said one of my workmates did say it would taste better with alcohol in not realising it had loads in there! such a lush!!

Sadly no camera again, having an off couple of weeks :-s
