On Sunday My Hubby, Baby and I headed to Hungerford. I had entered a cake in their bake off competition (it was my first time 😉 ), as it was something on my 2013 Bucket List. I love the idea of baking competitions and have never had the time to do it before, but now I am on maternity leave I thought I would give it a go. I made the cake on Saturday and also made the Lemon Curd to go in it (yummy). I have made this cake a few times before and it always goes down well. The category was Sweet – Eggs and Flour, so it was open to interpretation and I didn’t know if people would enter very designed cakes. My offering is much more homemade and rustic! But I was very happy to come joint 3rd and I even won a little prize (an egg spatula). Baby was a very good girl and gave Mummy a congratulatory hug.

The Bake Off is Back
How exciting! The Great British Bake Off is back on our screens at 8pm tonight. O.K so I might be harbouring some resentment, as I could not apply to go on the show this year. You have to be VERY free for filming, i.e not have a job or a Baby. I have both, so will have to watch from my couch with the probably misplaced belief that I could do better! 🙂
I want to be Mary Berry when I grow up and cannot wait for Baby to bring friends home for cake (an excuse to bake, yipee!)
