Last week I sort-of-accidentally started a new tradition at work: Cake Thursday.
I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday, and I like to do a bit of baking on one of those days- cake, or bread, or biscuits, or cui-miam-miam as it was last week. We have a gas oven, and the fact that we have to pay for our gas directly through a meter in one of the kitchen cupboards (seriously, I didn't know those things still existed until I moved here) means I feel guilty about putting the oven on with less than three different things in it.
I also have some exciting and under-used baking toys (thanks to Lauren for the first, Madeline for the second) I want to get more use out of.
Last week, I made chocolate and Nutella fairy cakes. This week, I'm thinking lemon drizzle cake. I'm after some new ideas to try, though, and this is where you lot come in- any suggestions? Challenges? Bizarre ingredients I should try and incorporate?
carrot cake is always a good option. :) ...with cream cheese icing. yum...
ReplyDeleteOr, one time I made a delicious chocolate cheesecake with Grand Marnier icing.
oooo....that's a distinct possibility! This week it was toffee apple cake, next (by request) is walnut, but there are lots of weeks still to go and I'm trying not to repeat anything...
