Hello everyone...I thought you might like to link to my new blog with Good to Know Recipes ...a Popular UK Cookery Magazine. The blogs are very similar to this one, a recipe linked with a special memory:) <br />
So far I have written 2 articles for them, one is based on an Australian bake and the second is a treat from the USA.<br />
My head is full of foodie ideas at the moment, and I am looking forward to experimenting with new recipes each month :)<br />
Check back regularly on this blog to see my how my ideas develop and be the first to see pictures of some perfect well behaved recipe results and some of my disasters too...he he....Enjoy Mx<br />
Here is the link to my magazine blog. 'Maxine Bakes Around The World'<br />

Well what can I say...finally I have reached the end. This has taken longer than I hoped, but sometimes time wins! Z has been easy as I had planned this recipe a while back.<br />
When we first married we would of not known what a zucchini (courgette to us commoners) was if we had fallen over one. My mum was mortified when she first saw them in our local Waitrose, and yes Waitrose was around in those days! She felt the whole world was being ripped off, She said 'For the price they are charging for those mini marrows I can buy a HUGE one in the grocers for a fraction of the price.'<br />

We did not have money for anything so exotic, so I first tried them at a posh restaurant a few years later, I cant say I was an immediate fan though! But I believe if you try something 7 times then you will like it.....mmmmm not so sure about that, I like courgettes now, but still hate Weetabix, I think I was force fed it as a baby and now I cannot even look at the bright yellow box without wanting to vomit!<br />
My gang have always loved chocolate cakes especially gooey brownies. But they are not keen on the lovely courgette, but I decided I would sneak it in and see if they noticed:) After all you have carrot cake and beetroot cake! This is not a true brownie but when I took it out from the oven the texture was more gooey than a regular cake....so it became a brownie!<br />
They looked and smelt delicious....And my gang devoured them very quickly. It was then I told them the secret ingredient....he he. Would a square of these count as one of your 5 a day????<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yellow Cheesecake.....white chocolate cheesecake on a lemon crumb biscuit base, topped with lemon curd</span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seems I like making cheesecakes...I have a few posted up on this blog:) This one was quite tricky to make and initially I was not very happy with it, but my testers ate it all and my Nutty Knitters were positive with words and empty plates! Baked cheesecakes always taste better than they look, but covering this one with lemon curd helped its appearance and taste:)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yellow is a happy colour and always reminds me of sunflowers. When ever I see those beautiful flowers I am immediately transported back to my Grans cottage garden. She had a very neat vegetable garden and greenhouse at the back, with fruit bushes and trees towards the end, along withh the dreaded the outside toilet. At the very top stood my Granddad's shed and a chicken run. Why is it so many men have their own sheds at the end of the garden? Mind you I am a fine one to talk as my studio is at the end of mine he he.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her front garden was very different. Although she was a Shropshire lass, then moved to London when she married she always hampered to live back in the clean country air, in a cottage with roses around the door. She followed her dream when her 4 children married, and she moved down to Wiltshire, tucked up in a little hamlet called Patterdown, just outside Chippenham. I have been back to visit and the area has changed so much with houses and retail parks....... So back to the front of her cottage...it was alive with all sorts of flowers, a riot of colour in the summer attracting butterflies and humming with bees. Any vegetable seedlings that she had left over would be planted at random between the flowers. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And along the back of the borders sunflowers would be standing tall and proud, their faces following the sun, and smiling. When they lost their petals she left them standing there so during the winter months the birds could have a feast.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a lovely bunch of 6 sunflowers siting on my kitchen windowsill right now....and as I look at them I am always reminded of my Gran.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So a yellow cheesecake in honour of a very special lady hugs 4 smiles Gran wherever you may be xxx</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;">Muffins made with fresh local apricots, topped with a lemon drizzle </span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">As I have worked my way through the alphabet it gets more difficult to come up with a recipe that evokes a memory alongside it.....'X' has defiantly been one of them! I could of used the word extra omitting the e, but I felt that would been a cop out. Anyway after some research I discovered 'Xingzi', which is the Chinese word for apricots. Very apt right now as we are off to China soon for a months travelling, and I am sooooooo looking forward to the break. I am also rushing now to get this A-Z done so I can starts another baking project on my return, watch this space:) So me thinks some more cake making tomorrow for Y and Z.....</span></div>

Well that's me with apricots, I remember them being furry on the outside like they are now, but juicy on the inside. Most of the ones I come across now are hard and sour, or soft and spongy. If anyone can suggest where I can get some super juicy ones it would be much appreciated. They seem to be ok when cooked though....and they made these muffins sweet and moist. I did make these a few weeks ago for my Nutty Knitter ladies. We are a knitting circle that meet in my home every fortnight to sip tea, eat cake oh and of course do a bit of knitting....not a crumb was left at the end of the day:) </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;">Apricots remind me of my eldest son.He was 4 when he started school and took to it with lots of enthusiasm, coming home at the end of each day telling me all about his exciting time and all that he had done during the day. I soon realised someone else had stepped into my shoes a little, when he came home and told me how clever his teacher was. He said all excitedly how she could curl ribbon with her fingernails.... seems his world was suddenly not all about me...ho hum.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;">I think like most Mums we all ask our kids when we collect them at the end of the school day what they had for dinner .Perhaps we ask so we don't feel inadequate in our own choice of food that we dish up!....mind you with a houseful to feed when they are hungry, chicken nuggets and chips from the freezer are always a godsend....oh well something home cooked tomorrow you tell yourself.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">When prompted on the way home one evening about his dinner, he revealed he had shepherds pie with lumpy meat....followed by goldfish and custard. Trying not to show a look of horror I questioned him gently to eventually discover he had actually had tinned apricots with his custard....whewwwww there was me ready to pick up the phone and complain about feeding small children goldfish. Would I of had a red face :) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I struggled to find a recipe and a memory beginning with the letter 'W' that would inspire a new cake....then the light was switched on! Roald Dahl's books were some of my children's favourite bedtime stories. And I think the one we all enjoyed the most was 'Willy Wonker's, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'! Last Christmas They showed both the film adaptions of this book, and as a family we were divided on the one we liked the most...I will admit I preferred the 1971 adaptation with Gene Wilder, I found the Johnny Depp film a little scary. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Obviously I had to make a chocolate cake, filled with cream and covered with chocolate.I then decorated it with lollipops, and topped it off with some popping candy to give an element of surprise :) My children are all grown up now, but this would of been a hit at Birthday parties....not only a piece of cake to take </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">home but a candy lolly as well !!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The candy sparked another memory, a family tradition. I used to love watching the children's program Blue Peter,all the things they made on there I would try out too. I can remember making the annual Christmas advent candle mobile, which was made with wire coat hangers and tinsel. I have often wondered why my mother never lit the candles....I am older and wiser now and can see the potential danger. Another idea they had was based on lollipops, I cannot remember what they made, but mine developed into an advent lollipop tree, basically a twig, sprayed with gold paint, then set into a pot filled with sand. I would then sellotape ribbons onto 24 lollies and decorate my tree with them. The countdown to Christmas had began....I will show my age now, there was none of these chocolate filled advent boxes when I was small....But oh the enjoyment of making it, then eating the candy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I carried this tradition on with my gang, as I have 3 children the tree became bigger to accommodate all the pops!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWvxD1PPoZV0Oir0NURYpoxxkAP8g5ngSLWYvU2tQCnMDlimR6MrR01v8VPAeqtqrqjfuU08aFJqWDkUA27dwjstBHr530JwWaneEIKOHhFupFW9ttRdl1lSuvhNgQHOOJY-aDwquvX64/s1600/moth+beas+do+gareth+and+sarah+016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWvxD1PPoZV0Oir0NURYpoxxkAP8g5ngSLWYvU2tQCnMDlimR6MrR01v8VPAeqtqrqjfuU08aFJqWDkUA27dwjstBHr530JwWaneEIKOHhFupFW9ttRdl1lSuvhNgQHOOJY-aDwquvX64/s320/moth+beas+do+gareth+and+sarah+016.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I shan't bore you with all the recipe details as I think the cake is self explanatory.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bake your favourite chocolate cake, fill with cream, melt chocolate and spread over the top. When the chocolate is nearly set add the popping candy </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">on top. Decorate with your choice of lollies. I made some cake pops as well, and if you had time you could make your own candies!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway Mr Roald Dahl, thank you for the inspiration and thank you for your very entertaining books :)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first cookery lesson at school was not very inspiring....how to make a cup of tea! Followed by slicing bread and toasting it, then chocolate rice krispie cakes....Then we were given a list of ingredients to bring in the following week so we could make a classic Victoria Sandwich, our very first proper bake. I was sooooooo excited and could not wait for the next class to come round.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoTdbMttPwwvlX2l6mLo-uVeP5J99dcOBxZR9Li4PMdZm9tHNBi7Z921zKIUGT2jJVUyqr3S4JQFrC_4yG9cMxZETyGzeTFHZQN8y6JnjO-n7Or1OQ3upWxSsxN69vPz8uqTmWECPXm80/s1600/work+cakes+and+more+cakes+013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="98" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoTdbMttPwwvlX2l6mLo-uVeP5J99dcOBxZR9Li4PMdZm9tHNBi7Z921zKIUGT2jJVUyqr3S4JQFrC_4yG9cMxZETyGzeTFHZQN8y6JnjO-n7Or1OQ3upWxSsxN69vPz8uqTmWECPXm80/s200/work+cakes+and+more+cakes+013.JPG" width="200" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So after lots of mixing, pouring in to 2 greased and lined tins, they were ready to bake. They were placed on a baking rack to cool, perfectly risen, warm and the delicious smell was so tempting. After mid break time we all returned to the classroom whipped up our cream, then spread it onto one sponge, and on the other we spread strawberry jam. Sandwiched them together and dusted the top with icing sugar. Carefully putting into my tin I walked proudly home, looking forward to showing Mum my creation. In my haste to open the tin to show her, my grip on the sides was lost and I dropped the lot on the stone floor. I stood alongside the sorry mess crying while the dog could not believe her luck and tucked into the cake devouring every last crumb:(</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mum came to the rescue though, she gathered up all the ingredients we needed to make another. A lovely bonding time with Mum and Daughter mixing and baking together, and we created the best cake ever.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So tea time was on again. My tears were forgotten as we tucked into the lovely light sponge and delicious filling. So I decided to make mini cakes as a tribute to my mum for making my tears turn to smiles :)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These mini versions turned out really well and were a hit with my taste testers. Oh and thanks Mum for rescuing me that day :)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hope you enjoy making these as much as I did....love M xx</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Ingredients</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6oz each of castor sugar, soft butter, sieved flour with 1 tsp baking powder and 3 eggs. A few drops of vanilla extract (optional) Milk. Whipped cream and jam for filling</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Method</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grease a 12 portion deep Muffin tin. Set oven to 200C conventional oven or180C fan assisted.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and using the all in one method, beat until the mixture is thick and creamy, adding milk if needed. Spoon into into each muffin cup, place in oven and bake for 15-20mins until golden and risen. remove and leave to cool on a backing rack.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When cold cut each one in half and fill with jam and whipped cream. Dust with icing sugar and enjoy with a cuppa :)</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With all this rain our soft fruits are doing well, the only problem is picking....its not much fun when its wet. Dreams of harvesting under blue skies wearing a summer dress and sunhat have vanished and its mackintosh and wellies for me!!</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I picked the last of our strawberries yesterday....a good yield around 40lb this year, so lots of jams, jellies and of course cakes and desserts have been made. I quite often make a berry drizzle cake for family and friends....but this 'Up the Garden' cake has been created from many special garden moments.....</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back to my Grans house....As a child I would be packed off to her house for a few weeks over the summer. She lived in a small hamlet in Wiltshire, in a typical english garden cottage, with roses round the door. all set in beautiful countryside. There was only one thing I hated, and that was the spidery outside toilet and the baths that had to be taken in an old tin bath in front of the kitchen range....and this was in the 60's !</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I always enjoyed helping her in the garden digging up carrots and new potatoes, runner beans and broad beans....but when we reached the pea patch I knew I was in trouble. I had been there earlier in the morning, picked and eaten them, I can still taste the sweetness of fresh podded peas in my mouth!</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then onto fruit for pudding, like me now she would have all the summer berries, then later in the year pears, apples and plumbs. She was brilliant at preserving all the <span style="background-color: white;">surplus, making chutneys, jams, curds, and storing the rest in the freezer. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plum jam was always interesting at tea time, thick homemade bread, spread with fresh butter from the local farm, with a selection of jams to help yourself to. I would spoon the jam on the side of my plate and count how many stones had come out with the jam....why she left them in I have no idea, but I enjoyed playing tinker, taylor soldier sailor...for any of you who don't know what this is you line up all the stones or pips that you find in the fruits and counting each one saying tinker, taylor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief would supposedly tel you who you would marry! Well the predictions were not right my husband does something entirely different.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway enough of my ramblings. I celebrate my Nans garden with this recipe....enjoy x</span><br />

Now it has been branded as the ultimate crime. Maybe there is a time and a place, but I can think of worse things that the camera could of discovered!!!! </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Anyway this made my thoughts turn to my gran, aunts and my mum with their knitting, which became the inspiration for this easy cake! Saturday mornings were always given to the task of baking, as a child I was given the task of making Rice Krispie Cakes.....I felt very grown up and important being able to make these without any help from my Gran or Mum.....Much of the mixture ended up on the table top and floor, although I expect quite </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">allot ended up in my mouth, never reaching the pretty paper cases!</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">In the afternoon all the women would sit together enjoying each others company, and while they chatted, ate cake, and sipped tea, they got on with their knitting!

Hello all....once again a little late with this post as time has won. The colourful bunting adorns the local town ready for the annual gala, and although the skies have been grey most of June they add a lovely splash of colour. Strawberries are ripening so fast now, we have picked around 30lb of delicious sweet juicy fruit. I have made lots of jam, baked scrummy cakes, made smoothies and of course a dessert of strrawberries and cream always goes down well. Another delicious way of eating them is with a splash of good quality balsamic vinegar and a little sugar. And everyone's favourite.....strawberries dipped in chocolate mmmmm<br />
This summer cake was inspired by my local church. Ten years ago my family attended our local gala. After the carnival procession, the park spills over with lots of stalls raising money for charities, dog shows, a fair and so on, all the usual that make up events like this up and down the country:)<br />
As I walked on by taking in the atmosphere two young people approached me with the offer of a free fresh strawberries. Me well I rarely refuse a freebie, especially juicy fruit! This was to be a turning point in my life!<br />

I discovered these friendly teenagers were representing a local church, and somehow their whole spiritual enthusiasm was something to really smile about. They gave me leaflets about something called 'The Alpha Course, and I vowed one day I would be able to take part. Rather than waffle on about it I have included a link.<a href="http://alpha.org/">alpha.org</a><br />
I went home and pinned the leaflets onto my notice board......and they stayed there for nearly 10 years! My children had grown up and I had a little more time for me, so off I went and thoroughly enjoyed the course and met so many friendly people. My spirituality grew and I finally took the leap, and was Baptised.....my journey was finally completed....and all because of a strawberry! So here it is a Strawberry sponge as a thank you to those young people who offered me a juicy ripe strawberry !!!<br />

Make 2 sponges using your favourite Victoria Sandwich recipe.<br />
When cool fill with whipped cream mixed with crushed meringues, chopped strawberries and strawberry jam<br />
Decorate with cream, strawberries and little meringues and shortbread biscuits.<br />
I made my little heart shape biscuits ....but to save time you can buy ready made ones.......Dust with icing sugar.....and serve!!!<br />
<br />
Enjoy Love M xxx<br />

Sticking as many different sweets as they could find on top of the sticky icing.

The first was way back in 2005, a family trip of milestones, my children had reached 21, 18 and 13years old, my husband 50 and we had been married for 25 years....it was to be our last family holiday together. We had a lovely time seeing all the sights and being adventurous, well apart from me that is. While my family were doing all things scary like skydiving and climbing Sydney bridge I opted out as I had a fear of heights.So while they did these once in a lifetime challenges I spent my time travelling around Sydney Harbour on the many little boats and ferries. <span style="text-decoration: inherit;">On my return home I </span><span style="text-decoration: inherit;">regretted not joining my family in the walk over the bridge, and vowed one day </span><span style="text-decoration: inherit;"> I would return and face my fears. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: inherit;">So in June 2009 I returned and walked that bridge....and as I got to the summit I cannot begin to describe the elation and sense of pride I had in myself. It was a spiritual moment and as I looked down through the bridge then across the harbour I suddenly realised I had left that awful fear of heights behind. I now wear a little gold charm of the bridge around my neck and in times of fear or uncertainty I hold the little charm and it reminds me that I have faced my fears once and I can do so again.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Quandongs are a native bush fruit that are quite tart in flavour, so a good choice for the letter Q. I have been unable to purchase any here in the UK, but after some research I found they are of the peach family and have a tart taste like peach, apricot and rhubarb. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-decoration: inherit;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-decoration: inherit;">I wanted to create an essence of Australia, so I used peaches, apricots and passion fruit to give tartness to the recipe, like a quandong would. A light sponge cake and coconut which are used to create Lamington cakes. And I have included some little meringues as a tribute to the Pavlova, which was created in Australia . T</span><span style="background-color: white; text-decoration: inherit;">he passion fruit is also for the passion I have for a wonderful city. Thank you Sydney for giving me some confidence back, and for you I have created this cake as a tribute :) x</span></span><br />

<ul style="line-height: normal;">
<li><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Fossilised Quandongs have been discovered in the coal seams of Southern Victoria. Apparently these fossils date from 40 million years ago - a time when Australia was still linked to the Antarctic continent.</span></li>
<li><span class="NullaNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Australian people often refer to Quandongs as the Wild Peach, Desert Peach or Native Peach.</span></span></li>
<li><span class="NullaNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Quandongs have a vitamin C content higher than oranges and and almost certainly saved many early Australian explorers from scurvy.</span></span></li>
<li><span class="NullaNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Quandong fruit can be dried and frozen for 8 years or more, without losing any flavour whatsoever.</span></span></li>
<li><span class="NullaNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Quandong trees possess an aromatic wood that was traditionally used by aboriginal people in "smoking ceremonies".</span></span></li>
<li><span class="NullaNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Rural Australian children often used Quandong seeds as Chinese Checker pieces.</span></span></li>
<li><span class="NullaNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The President of the New York Explorers Club once imported Quandongs for one of their annual dinners - along with some Polar Ice!</span></span></li>
<li><span class="NullaNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="NullaNormal">To date the only Australian food plant to be successfully domesticated is the Macadamia Nut.</span>The Macadamia Nut was successfully domesticated in Hawaii. Will the Quandong be the second domesticated food plant?</span></span></li>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My entry for Good to Know Recipes magazines competition 'Jubilee Queen of Cakes'</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everyone :) So we are well into the Jubilee celebrations now, I am just watching the flotilla on the Thames, the Queen looks radiant. I was lucky enough a few weeks ago to attend the pageant in the grounds of Windsor Castle...'All the Queens Horses'. Its being screened on TV this evening and is a feast for the eyes :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I am going to blow my own trumpet and share with you my day at Good to Know Recipes magazines offices in Central London, where the final judging took place on Friday. But first I need to start this story from the beginning.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started this blog way back in January. I had become poorly at the beginning of December and I was told by my consultant that it was going to be a while for me to bounce back. I spent most days asleep or playing couch potato. My creativity with my art had got up and gone and I was feeling sorry for myself. Even going for a short 10 minute walk was an effort. I have always enjoyed baking and decided I could just about meet the challenge of a cake each week....my a-z of cakes. There have been some weeks that I was unable to push myself , but he ho we are up to Q now.....and yes there will be a new recipe for 'Q'is for....later this week:)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This cake was originally made way back on a dull January day. I decided on the colours and flavours and it was only when I finished it that I realised I had created a Jubilee Cake!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its funny how things happen as I had started this to give me something to focus on and never once did I ever think I would receive so many mails and comments from friends and strangers as I have, let alone come second in a competition with a food magazine:) But I did and I had the most amazing day.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I received a mail from the Magazine on Monday afternoon to tell me I was one of the finalists. I had to re-create my cake and take it with me to their offices for 9.30am on Friday. One minor problem.....Cakes, trains and rush hour are not the best combination. Oh well if I got there and it resembled a trifle then so be it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lots of panicky moments making the cake, as I put it together and placed the coconut marzipan over the top I felt the cake slip. But a little tweaking and it was saved:)</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I arrived on time with the cake in one piece thankfully. A general introduction and tea with the staff and judges, then setting up time. I was surprised how chilled I was. We then had 2 masterclasses. We made funny face cupcakes with Victoria, and cookie ice lollies with Ruth.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I lived at home I baked on a Saturday morning and usually made lunch as well. The family favorite was pizza, in those days there was not so much choice in the supermarket as there is now, ready meals and Pizza were limited and quite expensive. So after making a few batches of rock buns and fairy cakes out would come the bread flour to make dough. While I kneaded it seemed for hours until I reached the right elasticity I would have the TV on and watch Noel Edmund's 'Multi Coloured Swap Shop'. If you remember that program then you are roughly the same age as me! </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I enjoyed making and eating these muddled up pizza creations....I would add as many different toppings as I could find....I made a few mistakes with my savoury combinations .....they made their way to the bin! The best bit of my morning then was walking away from the kitchen and leaving my mum to clear up while I got ready to go out and party! nowadays I have to clear up my own mess!</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sundays would find my mum making meringues, she was not really a cook but she always managed a good balance of crispiness and stickiness in her little cakes. My job would be to whisk the cream for the filling, which I hated doing as she made me do it by hand.....but it was worth it as come tea time they would be on the table and mmmmm delicious.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this recipe I have used meringue for the base, red coloured whisked cream to look like tomato sauce, the fruit represents the mixed ingredients used on a pizza, grated chocolate for cheese and sliced chocolate mini rolls to represent pepperoni!!! So the regular pavlova goes all regular fruity pizza :) Enjoy.....hugs 4 smiles M xx</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ingredients</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">for meringue base</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 egg whites</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4oz castor sugar</span><br />
<br />
<div class="instructions" style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pre heat oven to 150C</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Line a baking sheet with baking parchment</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To make the meringue, place the egg whites in a large bowl and, using an electric hand whisk on a low speed, begin whisking.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Continue for about 2 minutes, until the whites are foamy, then switch the speed to medium and carry on whisking for 1 more minute.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now turn the speed to high and continue whisking until the egg whites reach the stiff-peak stage. Next, whisk the sugar in on fast speed, a little at a time (about a dessertspoon), until you have a stiff and glossy mixture.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place onto a lined baking sheet and with the back of a spoon push into a circular base shape</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place on the centre shelf of the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 140°C and bake for 40 minutes.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Double cream</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Red food colouring</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 different fruits of your choice</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">White chocolate grated</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 Mini chocolate rolls, sliced</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whip cream until thick and add food colouring. Spread over meringue base.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arrange fruit on top</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sprinkle on the grated chocolate then pop sliced chocolate rolls on top to finish off. Keep the chocolate rolls in the fridge, they slice easier when cold :)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a go this weekend, you could use just blueberries, strawberries and white chocolate for a Jubilee theme! </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Hello all....a little late again posting....I am already in the throws of baking for the letter 'P' :) so keep a look out :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I struggled with this as I could only think of oranges and could not associate oranges with memories. The light bulb went on and although another cheesecake was made at least I had a story to tell.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Mum could not have a cuppa without getting the biscuit tin out, Rich Tea were her favourite followed by Digestives. I can remember her dipping the biscuit into the tea, and as a child I watched this ritual with anticipation....at what point would the biscuit be dipped too long in the hot tea causing that part to fall into the cup. She would then take a teaspoon and retrieve the soggy sloppy mess and seeing the smile on her face it was obviously the part of this ceremony she enjoyed the most.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I could not understand why she enjoyed doing this as the few times I tried was something I found quite disgusting. I'm afraid biscuits for me had to be crunchy....after all if you brought a packet and opened them to find them all wet and slimy you would take them back. Anyway seems this was something adults did, and I can remember aunts, uncles and many neighbors 'dunking' as its called their favourite biscuit.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a definite divide with people on this pastime....a bit like Marmite you either love it or hate it! </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So what has this got to do with my creation, well the commercial for Oreo biscuits shows a little girl dunking these delights into a glass of milk while her pet dog sits watching and drooling:) So now you can see the connection!</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How many of you 'Dunk'?</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The one problem I had with this cake was the weather and the lightness of the whipped topping. The cake had to travel 20minutes in the car to my taste testers, and being a warm day it became a little sloppy, but despite its </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">appearance</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> on cutting it </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">still</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">tasted</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> good :) and all went, not even a crumb left :) Somehow the sloppiness of the topping was a happy accident as it fitted in well with sloppy biscuits in my story! </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Ingredients</span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">300g oreo biscuits save 6 for decoration</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">100g butter , melted</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">600g soft cheese</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">100g icing sugar</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">284ml pot double cream</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Punnet of fresh strawberries chopped, reserving some whole for decoration</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make the base: Butter and line a 23cm loose-bottomed tin with</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">baking parchment. Put the biscuits in a plastic food bag and</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">crush to crumbs using a rolling pin. Reserve half a cupful for decoration.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put the crumbs to a bowl, then pour over the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">crumbs are completely coated. Tip them into the prepared tin</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and press firmly down into the base to create an even layer.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the soft cheese & icing sugar</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">then beat with an electric mixer until smooth.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">completely combined. Gently fold in chopped strawberries.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pour into tin over biscuit base. Smooth the top of the</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">cheesecake down with the back of a spoon or spatula.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leave to set in the fridge overnight</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Decorate with a sprinkle of Oreo crumbs and whole strawberries and halved oreos</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enjoy :)</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A light almond flavored sponge filled with fresh mixed berries and cream. Topped with hazelnut dragees and amaretto flutes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tea at my Grans was always a feast, 'Sunday high tea' as she called it, included toasted buttered crumpets in the winter and sandwiches, usually egg and cress in the summer. This would be followed by jelly and ice cream or a home made trifle. More tea would be made and poured from a huge teapot, and cake stands would appear, full of cakes that she would of baked the day before. For some reason known only to herself, she considered it was not a proper feast without a shop brought swiss roll. I was not keen on it and rarely ate any, we all used to tease her though about the predictability of the swiss roll, the cakes she baked would vary from week to week. One of her regular sayings was 'always keep lots of standbys in the larder, just in case'. As a child I always wondered about this just in case.....just in case of what? But now I completely understand, if she was unwell and could not bake, the swiss roll would be in larder so we could have cake with our cuppa:)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I grew up she became more and more sophisticated and adventurous with her baking, I seem to of inherited the 'baking' gene from her :). I remember when I was around 15 after carefully laying the table with one of her embroidered tablecloths, out would come all the goodies, all sitting on flowery plates with paper doilies on! This particular Sunday she left a space right in the middle, went back to the kitchen and came back with the most delicious looking cake, and was greeted with oohs and ahhhs from from all of us.She proudly placed it in the saved space, and announced 'there, Grans chocolate roulade' with which my grandfather replied swiftly back 'looks like a bloody swiss roll to me'. Her face fell and although we all thoroughly enjoyed the cake she never baked another roulade ever again!</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So Granny Dora Jane wherever you may be I hope you like my version of swiss roll? Love Maxine xx</span><br />

<li style="list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0.45em 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a 27.5cm x 32.5cm swiss roll tin with greaseproof paper and oil lightly.</span></li>
<li style="list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0.45em 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mix together the ground almonds and salt. Set aside 2 tbsp sugar from the 100g. Whisk the remaining sugar with the egg yolks until they form a pale mousse that holds a trail on the surface when you lift out the whisk.</span></li>
<li style="list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0.45em 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Add the 2 tbsp caster sugar and whisk until thick and slightly glossy. Quickly fold the almond mixture into the egg yolk mousse, followed by the egg whites. Pour into the tin, spread evenly and bake for 12 minutes or until just done and shrinking away from the edges.</span></li>
<li style="list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0.45em 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the roulade is cool enough to handle, put a clean tea towel on a flat surface and top with a sheet of greaseproof paper. Sprinkle the paper with caster sugar and invert the roulade onto it. Carefully peel away the paper. Trim the edges of the sponge, and leave until cold.</span></li>
<li style="list-style: decimal inside; margin: 0.45em 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sift the icing sugar into the cream and whip until it forms soft peaks. Fold in the chopped mixed berries and spread over the cold sponge, leaving a 2cm border all around. Use the paper to carefully roll up the roulade from the short end. Ease on to a serving dish, sprinkle with the almonds, berries, flutes and dragees, dust with icing sugar and serve ..........Enjoy :) Maxine x</span></li>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A traditional Swiss Roll is a whisked light sponge. The thin cake is made of eggs, flour and sugar and baked in a very shallow rectangular baking tray. The cake is removed from the pan and spread with butter cream or jam rolled up, and served in circular slices.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">The origins of swiss rolls are unclear. The cake originated in Europe, but not in Switzerland as the name would suggest. It appears to have been invented in the nineteenth century, along with Victoria sponge, doughnuts and battenburg cake.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px;">Mangos remind me of the many exotic countries we have visited as a family, and the fleshy fruits would always be welcome in the hot climate to help quench our thirst. And whenever my youngest son is home Mango's are always on the shopping list. I just wish someone could invent seedless ones like grapes as the stone inside does not make them the easiest fruit to prepare.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px;">Most people when I was little girl would not of heard of or seen a mango, and others who had would be suspicious of its foreign origins. Today we are lucky to have a huge variety of exotic fruits and vegetables that can be brought in any supermarket.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px;">My Mum was one of those that would not recognise a mango if she fell over one, but I on the other hand experienced the taste of the lovely sweet yellow flesh from around the age of 5. My Nan was a lady who was not afraid of being different and 'lived in sin' her words not mine. In those days it was frowned upon, she lived with a lovely man from India called Jim, so the neighbours really had something to gossip about.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px;">I would visit my Nan and Jim every Sunday and always looked forward to seeing them both. She would cook the most delicious roast dinner, and a traditional English Pudding....yummmmm She was probably the only woman in here street to prepare and eat traditional Indian food as she liked to give Jim a reminder of the country he was born in so they mostly ate curry!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px;">During the afternoon she would give me slices of mango, which at first I was unsure of, as their texture and taste was very different from anything I have ever eaten but was not long before I looked forward to this afternoon treat.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px;">So these mango and ginger cheesecakes are dedicated to my Nan, Gladys.....x</span></span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These little gems are totally my own creation... I thought long and hard about the letter L...I could of opted for the easy, lemon, lime or a mixture of the two. But a suggestion from my husband helped with the development of this one....Oh and also a trip to Waitrose!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He remembered a trip to Sri Lanka many years ago when Morgan our youngest son, who at the time was 2 years old. We hired a driver during our stay and spent a week travelling up country. Our driver was fantastic and showed us places, experiences and tastes of local food, including fresh cashews, local strawberries, tiny flavorsome bananas and most importantly fresh picked lychees. Morgan devoured these fresh fruity fruits avidly once we peeled them for him, and the rest of the holiday he almost lived on them. Its a memory that has stayed with both of us, and is defiantly an unusual fruit to add in a cake mix.</span></span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the start of a cupcake was born.....L is for Lavender, and apart from I love the smell and my gran and my mother grew it and we have it in our garden too was just part of the 'L' experiment....the truffle and chocolate sticks I discovered in Waitrose....so a real infusion of flavours. My tasters will have the opportunity to taste them tomorrow, but hubs has eaten 2 and gave the thumbs up :)</span></span><br />

Hello Everyone, How are you all today? A little<br />
late with the cake this week, but life has been very busy. Anyway yesterday was a grey wet day, so I took the wooden spoon and bowl out and spent the afternoon baking. I produced 2 Kit Kat cakes, one for my gang, and one for my loyal tasters! This cake was easy to make and decorate and defiantly has the wow factor for any occasion for tea time treat to a celebration. It is not totally original as you can find lots of recipes and pictures for this cake on the internet, but I did tweak it, using a mixture of toppings instead of just one.<br />
Kit Kat's evoke so many childhood memories. My mum always provided good food but there was little money for treats. I can remember going to Woolworths in the days when it had separate counters for different goods, no shelving systems in those days. We would head to the broken biscuit section, where the assistant behind the counter would weigh out the biscuits and take the payment. The next stop would be Lipton's for groceries, but that's another story.<br />
My Mum and her friend Doreen would often get together for a bit of a gossip over tea and biscuits while us kids played. I knew during the afternoon we would be offered a glass of squash and and a choice of Kit Kat or a Club biscuit. Oh the sheer delight of unwrapping the chocolate covered delight and savoring every mouthful....Sometimes to make the treat last I would first lick all the chocolate off the biscuit , then slowly nibble the biscuit base. The foil wrapper would not go to waste either as I would make a little foil wine cup! <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Things-from-Chewing-Gum-Foil">http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Things-from-Chewing-Gum-Foil</a> This must of been the start of my artistic career as I recycle materials wherever I can.

<div>
Line two 8" round baking tins and make your favorite chocolate sponge. As you now from previous recipes I use the 'Delia' all in one method. Bake until risen. Turn out on a wire rack to cool.</div>
<div>
I used chocolate spread to sandwich the sponges together. The cake is then covered in chocolate, frosting or butter cream.</div>
<div>
Push fingers of Kit Kat all around the sides, then fill the top with your favorite sweets. I used Smarties, Maltesers & Mini Mallows, Belgian Thins and Chocolate Sticks</div>
<div>
I then tied a red ribbon around the outside which just gives the finishing touch. Do have a go at making this, it really is very easy to make and looks truly amazing :) Have a great weekend :) Hugs 4 smiles M xxx</div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; line-height: 21px;">This nursery rhyme reminds me of my Nan....I remember her singing this when I helped her bake jam tarts.She was one of those traditional Nan's that loved nothing more than her family, and to cook and care for them. She always had a cake or bake in readiness for a friend that may drop by, a few of whatever was in season from the garden to share, oh and at tea time she would put out a well good spread....you know I always found it fascinating how she held bread under her arm and cut off the slices. I have mentioned this to many friends and it seems it was a very popular granny thing to do :) In some ways I have inherited some of her traits, especially baking....but I don't cut bread from under my arm!!! Maybe when I am a Granny then I will start doing that!!! he he</span></span></span><br />

Three delicious experiences to enjoy. First the iced soft sponge with a vanilla iced topping, then chocolate sicks and strawberries to dip into the whipped cream....then the crispy tart, filled with home made jam"....she said " Please don't be weird Mum".....hey ho!!! </span></span></span><br />

Hello everyone. Back after a short break and a new recipe for you :) Iced banana and citrus cake, an interesting combination, but once again goes back to childhood. One of the stories my mum told me was her first experience of having a banana to eat. During the war years so many things were in limited supply and bananas were very rare indeed. Not sure how her family managed to get any, but they did, and she was given one. My gran showed her how to peel it, and believe it or not she made it last all day, and there started her love of bananas!<br />
As children we seemed to have bananas in every shape and form, milk shakes, on toast, mashed up in sandwiches, cakes, cooked in their skins, seems they were now in good supply and my mum just had a huge appetite for them.<br />
Her favorite way of eating them was in a sandwich, mashed up with lemon curd, marmalade or lime jelly....and she would sprinkle sugar over the whole mixture, cut the whole into 4, make a cuppa, and sit down to watch Corrie with her favorite snack :)<br />
So I have created a cake in her memory, a sponge cake, filled with citrus and butter cream, then iced on top and decorated.<br />
Funny enough you know how they all say you eventually turn into your mother.....well seems I have.....rarely a day goes by without my daily fix of this sweet fruit!<br />
<br />
Make your usual sponge mix and add 2 mashed bananas, mix to a firm dropping consistency.<br />
Divide mixture up into 2x8" Tins<br />
Bake at 180C for 20-25 mins or until an inserted skewer comes out clean<br />
Leave to cool on a wire rack<br />
Fill with a lemon flavor butter cream and a citrus curd, jam or jelly<br />
Sandwich together and decorate<br />
I used citrus sprinkles and rice paper daisies for a spring/Easter theme<br />
Happy baking :)<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;"> Hello everyone...a break of 2 weeks has been lovely but its nice to be back and baking:) These little cakes were based on Ferrero Rocher chocolates....my Mum used to love these at Christmas, and considered them very 'Posh'. She would put them on the table after our Christmas dinner and nibble on them while sipping her glass of Tia Maria. So in her memory I put this recipe together. They are very rich and sticky, just like the chocolates!</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another delay in my post ....but I had disaster cheesecake on Sunday so I started all over again last night. The first attempt slopped over to one side after a night in the fridge, maybe due to some night time activity with something else in the fridge, you know what I mean, maybe a little fairy having a taste, or maybe the mixture was just too sloppy. Today's cake stuck a little when I tried to release it from te tin but all in all was more presentable! </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grapefruit hold some childhood memories of my Mum eating grapefruit all the time as she thought it would be the miracle cure for weight loss.

<span style="color: blue;">Well we are into the 6th week, how time flies! A little late with this recipe but I had a hectic weekend, but as they say better late than never :)</span></div>
<div style="color: black;">
<span style="color: blue;">The only traditional cakes I could think of was figs (ugh), fudge and fairy cakes. So I decided on a twist on the traditional English teatime fairy cakes. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">My thoughts turned to childhood once again....lollipops, sherbet fountains and ice cream ....oh how we all loved it when the ice cream man came to our street, what would we chose a a 99' cone, a FAB ice lolly or if we had enough pocket money an oyster ice cream. All us girls thought we were glamorous if we had one...how times change! In case you are wondering, a 99 cone is a cone shaped wafer with soft ice cream and a small flake in the side, Fabs are multi flavoured ice lollies with sprinkles....and oyster ice creams to us were much more sophisticated...an oyster shaped wafer shell, with marshmallow and soft ice cream inside, dipped in chocolate and sprinkles. You could also choose from a selection of sweet sauces....I always had butterscotch :) The pictures I have posted here are probably better than my descriptions...lol Anyway here goes....enjoy the recipe x </span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Place teaspoons of mixture onto a greased baking tray. These spread out quite allot during cooking, so bake them in batches of 5 at a time.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Bake until risen and golden 180f</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Place on a rack to cool</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Dip half the cakes into melted chocolate just to cover about half inch up cake (see picture) leave to set.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Whip double cream until thick and cover one cake making sure one side is thicker than the other.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Add a few small marshmallows one side and a few chopped strawberries the other. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Place another cake on top to make the oyster shape.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">I have decorated the top with a few sugar butterflies on top of the chocolate.</span><br />

Every Sunday she would make an apple sponge served with custard after the obligatory roast....It became a family favourite and as she cooked enough for the street there was always plenty for friends, including my boyfriend, now my husband, so maybe there is something in the saying a way to a man's heart is through his stomach....I wonder if he married me so he could continue to have my mums sponge pudding. Oh well 30 odd years on it worked!<br />
Sponge pudding and cakes that use apples are often called Eves Cake or Eves Temptation...hence the name of this delight. I'm sure Eve would of loved the temptation of apple and chocolate!<br />
Anyway my testers have done their job....and the temptation was defiantly delicious...the plate came back with only a few crumbs left on it...so get out your whisks and spoons and bake these muffins :)<br />
