Unfortunately I didn't get my butt into gear soon enough so don't have full photos of weeks 1- 25. I will shortly list the cakes/bakes I made during those weeks. Maybe I'll repeat them again at the end of the 52 weeks?? My friends/family can but hope!
Ok here is the list....
1: cheesecake - both baked and chilled, baked one went down faster so guess it's the winner!
2: whoopies - the latest thing from america, part cake, part cookie! apparently called whoopies as when children open their lunchboxes to find one they cry "whoopie!"
3: brownies - standard favourite and my speciality bake
4: raspberry shortcake - for the slightly healthy option ;-)
5: melk tert - made in world cup week this is a south african favourite - think custard tart and you get pretty close. One of my favourites to make
6: grasmere gingerbread - insprired by a trip to the lake district. This is actually a gingerbread cake rather than a biscuit
7: scones - for wimbledon week
8: cheese rice krispies - think chocolate rice krispy cakes with cheese instead of chocolate, sounds odd but actually works!
9: eccles cakes
10: victoria sponge
11: choc fridge cake - always goes down well
12: choc sponge cake - a true classic
13: choc bourbon biscuits - branch off into the biscuit world. One of my taste testers actually moaned that I hadn't written bourbon on each one!!
14: cinnamon whirls
15: wagon wheels - a home made version of the kids classic
16: jaffa cakes - hint: uses jelly!
17: choc digestives
18: double choc cheesecake
19: cherry cake - sadly despite best efforts the cherries sank :-( answers on a postcard please!
20: choc fudge cake
21: millionaires shortbread - so called because of its rich taste
22: banoffi pie - strictly speaking banaramel pie as its made with caramel not toffee as most recipes are!
23: banana loaf cake
24: pumpkin pie - halloween week. Actually surprisingly tasty given that it smells horrible when cooking the pumpkin!
25: pumpkin cheesecake - continuing the halloween theme
