If it was your birthday, which would you prefer? A crappy birthday card or a 3inch thick chocolate cake with chocolate fudge icing? Jamie opted for the latter for his 29th this year and as he is a joy to bake for I was happy to oblige. It took 2 days in the making and unlike the usual efforts would be unveiled in-front of an expectant audience with singing and cheering and traditional celebratory candles, so the pressure was on. But the cake rose to the challenge and luckily turned out quite a good effort. Happy Birthday Jamie! It'll be a three tier-er for your 30th!
In The Oven
- I'm really not one for all this 'Grandmothers secret recipe' rubbish - if you ask me its just selfish. If you've made a good cake, tell people about it. Share the recipe and spread the love. So, if you know of a good recipe, or have a cake related suggestion, please do share. I'll bake it and others can rate it.

The Greatest Evil...
If there's one thing that truly offends my culinary sensibilities, that turns me like Superman in the presence of kryptonite into a force of pure devilment, it's flies. I HATE them, HATE THEM! The moment I hear that continuous maddening buzz my blood boils and such evilness I never believed I had within comes to the fore. The thought of those hideous, germ ridden, dog poo residing, mucus gobbing creatures of pure foulness mounting their air-born attack upon my beautiful, love infused cakes is unbearable. Guard them against such assault I will, the flies will never have my cakes, NEVER!
