When I tuck into to homemade cake I wonder how we all put up with some of the stuff we get offered in coffee shops…I often daydream about visiting a tearoom where they bake fresh everyday….I wonder if any exist?

Coffee Morning
According to Constance Spry I should have made a plain lightly fruited or seed cake for morning coffee….the type of cake with a low percentage of fat – delicious fresh but not a keeper….instead I opted for a Victoria Sandwich with butter cream and strawberry jam and mocha fairy cakes more of an afternoon ‘fancy’…..very rich and even though I say so myself, very nice.

I remember once being given seed cake at my Great Aunt Rose's house. Even though I was a most well-behaved and polite little girl, I just couldn't help myself, and spat my first bite out immediately, horrified that anything supposed to be enjoyable would taste that awful. So, I think Victoria sponge is a much better plan, especially as I already know how delicious your sponge cakes are :-)
ReplyDeleteNo but by the look of those cakes you should open one!

ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteIve just stumbled upon your lovely blog today via Pebbledash, and Im mightily glad I did!
Oh goodness, those cakes look sublime, and you're quite right - nothing compares to a home baked one does it? I sometimes dream about opening such a place as you write of, where everything is home baked and delicious!
Im adding you to my favourites list, so I can come by and visit you again soon!
Much love

My cousin has a dream of owning a café in which she will bake and cook every day. It's my worst nightmare, although I do bake every week, sometimes twice a week.
ReplyDeleteYour cakes look scrummy :) x
Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteI made lemon curd the yesterday and felt exactly the same. the trouble is home made LC doesn't keep either so that means I have to eat it it all at once..perhaps i'll make a cake to spread it on.
(By the way hope you don't mind me saying but I thought Constance Fry was a prison reformer)
mmm those cupcakes look lovely!
