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

Week 43: Black forest roulade

No picture of this sadly, got eaten too quickly! ( /I forgot my camera :-s )

Week 42: Apple crumble cupcakes

Does what it says on the tin! Apple cupcakes with crunchy crumble topping, at least one of your 5 a day....2 if you eat more ;-)

Week 41: Baked chocolate cheesecake

A real hit, dark chocolate baked base with white chocolate topping. The idea came from a recipe book I have that shows calories per slice....this was the highest in the book at 737 cals and 65g of fat per slice! Worth every bite ;-)
