Thought I would share my latest bakes with you. At work we take cake for our birthdays and I would never live it down if I bought one, so it was Rhubarb and Ginger cake (Jamie Oliver recipe)...
and a Crunchy top Lemon cake (Mary Berry recipe) that I took to school.
Well, you should've heard Steve's protests! He
needed cake too, so at the weekend I tried a recipe from a new book called 'Love Bakery' for Rhubarb and Custard cupcakes and made these...
Well, I made 12, but there are very few left now! I was quite proud of my custard frosting and the little decorations I made from ready roll icing.With these you take a core from the middle of the cake with an apple corer and fill it up with jam or stewed fruit - Yum!
Finally I did make a card for a colleague...
I used some Dovecraft clear stamps, coloured with promarkers and glittered. They were stuck onto a gingham 'tablecloth' made with a Martha Stewart punch around the page set.
I'm entering this one into:
Moving along with the times where the theme is Have some cake and
Craft your passion where the theme is Check it out, using gingham, plaids and checks
Thanks for looking, and I hope I didn't make you too hungry!

Just as well I've just had my dinner and am not hungry Sally as these look really yummy!
Gorgeous card too and I nearly bought that stamp set a couple of weeks ago. Might have to treat myself now.
Will have to look up the rhubarb and ginger recipe too as I love both of those things.
