Auntie Knows Best

Another cooking photo. I quick whipped up a few dozen muffins for a meeting tonight and this one was raspberry and apple and it was absolutely delicious!

I have been busy making cakes for The Little Miss’ 5th birthday party tomorrow. When will I learn and just go and buy them?

One more photo from last night.

So many people made and donated cakes to sell last night at the quiz.

You know who you are. I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you xxxx

First ever attempt at a carrot cake.

It was delicious.

I love making cakes and these were the ones I made for the Golden Wedding party at the weekend. The were pretty good, even if I do say so myself.

Cakes for a school PTA sale. It’s a good way of using up all the toppings in the cupboard!

We had The Little Mister’s birthday party today and his request was a dinosaur birthday cake.

This magnificent creation was pretty simple to make; a couple of slabs of chocolate cake, carved up and stuck together with chocolate buttercream icing, a few Crunchie rocks to add some texture, a bit of glittery lava and a few plastic dinosaurs.

He loved it and is tasted good.

Mummy Win!!!

I made some fab little Christmas cakes for the sale last week.

They looked really effective, tasted delicious and were great sellers!

My Auntie Jenny is a brilliant cook and she makes fantastic chutnies, jams and cakes. Today I went to give her a hand at a sale she was doing to raise funds for the Centre for Cancer Immunology in Southampton.

Her stall looked lovely and she had made a load of beautiful Christmas gift baskets which sold really well.

I have to admit that I love a bit of selling. I feel it triggers my inner Apprentice candidate!

This evening I helped my sister out with organising a quiz for their charity This is Epic.

It was a fantastic evening and we raised lots of money and everyone had a good time.

Of course I was in charge of the cake table… always trust a Le Tissier to sort out the pudding table!
