Gatherings

I know I have been somewhat slacking on the posting front, but here are a few updates.

In November I baked a six layer anniversary cake for my boyfriend's parents Ruby Wedding Anniversary. It wasn't as stressful as I had originally imagined, but transporting it by train was a little hair-raising.

Unfortunately I have no pictures of the inside, an afternoon of champagne and fantastic food makes me forgetful on the photograph front. You'll just have to believe me when I say there were six layers inside filled with dark chocolate ganache and a homemade raspberry curd.

I also went to a Birthday Tea Party for my friend Nancy (fame at last Nancy, you've made it onto the blog ;) ) The table was full of homemade cakes, biscuits and other sweet things.

I made mini apple spiced pies which tasted very festive. I'll probably have the pastry recipe on here in the next few weeks when I crack on with the Christmas baking.

I promise I'll have some more substantial posts soon. :)
