Today I made these coffee cakes, made with brown sugar and with walnuts and coconut in, and some kind of walnut praline thing we made ages ago on top. Can you tell I basically made these out of the random bits we had in the baking cupboard?

I’m sorry the photo is atrocious, the cakes look nicer in person, when will I ever learn not to make cakes when it’s dark because the lighting just isn’t good enough for photographing?

We made green cookies and watched Network today.

Me and my sister made this cake for our momma’s birthday yesterday.

Feast your eyes upon my first Christmackle present.

I find that they are beautiful.

Sorry the photo’s crap and doesn’t reflect this but I couldn’t be arsed to take a good one.

It’s lime time!

I made lime cakes with lime juice in the cake and icing. I love them, so do the parentals. I was planning on making a big lemon cake instead but we didn’t have any lemons which was quite an issue.

Did Halloween stuff today since mah sister’s going back to uni tomorrow so we wouldn’t get chance otherwise. She basically just danced round the kitchen to Halloween songs when we were making the cakes though.

And that’s my pumpkin, carved into Matthew Patel shape. The top part worked, but the bottom half…didn’t. So I won’t be sharing that with anyone any time soon. So yeah, the top bit isn’t too terrible when you look at it next to the particular drawing I was copying from the book. But unfortunately I can’t find it on t’internet and can’t be arsed to get it on ‘ere myself.

Coffee cake with coffee buttercream icing.
My first coffee cake. Should be nomable.

Hey ma homies.

Check out the cakes I made today.

I also went for a walk/photo session thing with Mr Anna which was nice because somehow I haven’t seen her for ages. Which is a crime really. I took hundreds of photos, every single one of which I will be putting on my tumblr. I kid.

Hey I made another cake.
The same one as on Sunday but bigger.
It looks way better now the topping and stuff has dried but I can’t be arsed to take another photo. Plus it’s now half-eaten.
Also, I hate this photo, 5 o’clock in Autumn is a bad time to make and photograph cakes for me since there isn’t much light coming from the window. So it’s all orange and ugly. Never mind.

Oh look I made another cake.
And it’s delicious, if a little flat (due to lack of ingredients).
It’s got lemon icing in the middle and lemon/sugar crunchy thing on the top like mah lemon drizzle has. I’m going to make it again when we have more ingredients because I really like the lemon icing.

Guess who made peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies? Yes, I did. But I couldn’t get any milk chocolate chips (outrage) and I didn’t fancy white so I replaced them with Magic Stars. Oh and check out the cake stand my grandmama gave me.

Day 47 of 72. 11th August 2010.

Here it is. My first ever lemon drizzle cake. It’s exactly how it was supposed to be.

I’m very proud.

Day 41 of 72. 5th August 2010.

Can’t stop making cakes.

Today my sister got up at like 8 o’clock or something which was really weird considering she doesn’t usually get up until around 11:30. When she got up, she woke me up a bit and I thought I’d slept in for ages. She forced me to go to town again. :( But because we went so early we got home just after 12, very strange. So then I made these cakes. I bought a long sleeved t-shirt in town, from the child’s section, the boy child’s section, in H&M so that only cost me £3.99, wahey! But I’ve been feeling really dizzy all day today, and I’m surprised I haven’t fallen over. Yet.

Day 38 of 72. 2nd August 2010.

The cake we made for mah sister’z birthday, three layers, probably the best cake we’ve ever made. Because something nearly always goes wrong when we make them. (I’ve made good ones on my own before though, that might say something…) But nothing did on this one, it was nice n’ risen, it didn’t stick to the tin, and it tasted lavley.
