Week 1-25: Cakes so far

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
