Week 34: Chocolate beetroot cake



Random yes, tasty I think so! Did get mixed reviews on this one though, I think they key is if you don't like beetroot on its own you like this cake (lets face it chocolate makes everything yummy!). But if you like beetroot then you dislike the tainting of chocolate and lets face it are generally a bit odd!

Week 33: Lemon cake

Lemon crunch cake, instead of drizzle cake (controversial I know!) . Actually went down as "the best lemon cake I have ever tasted" - from my discerning cake critic!

Week 32: Cinnamon & Ginger biscuits

An all time favourite that goes down well every time. Not as spicy as a plain gingerbread man but instead with a nice cinnamon twist!

Week 31: Christmas pud & chocolate mince pies!


This one had been brewing for a month regularly fed by brandy. Ok ok so technically I didn't make it in week 31  but I think it still counts! In any case I also made chocolate mince pies - yes you did hear that right chocolate mince pies. Think mincemeat with chocolate drops in it and cherries instead of apples.....don't knock it till you've tried it! Sadly no pictures of these but I promise I made them!!!

Week 30: Baileys chocolate devil cake


An extremely chocolatey alcoholic cake!! I entered this one into our works charity bake off and came joint first in the taste category :-) Didn't win overall as lacked on presentation but I say it all looks the same in your mouth so am happy it tasted good!!

Week 29: Chocolate and vanilla cupcakes


Made with lots of milk to make them extra moist! Normally I don't rave about my own cakes but these I reaaally like! Bit dangerous really as I can make as many as I want hmmmmm..........
