This blog has been pretty quiet of late, I didn't realise just how long it had been until I saw the date of the last post! It doesn't mean I haven't been getting my hands dirty in the kitchen it's just that my camera was out of action for a while.
Quite the opposite in fact, I've been baking pretty regularly, my workmates now pretty much just expect treats on a Monday morning!
A couple of the highlights created over my quite period include, orange chocolate cupcakes with white chocolate icing and my own version of jammy dodgers. The cupcakes took two attempts to get right, the first time I followed a fancy recipe on-line that included melted chocolate in the cupcake mix, these turned out pretty disastrous, so in the end I fell back on the old faithful cupcake recipe I always use, and they were great. It was my first time using a piping bag to decorate too, whilst they didn't look amazing, the icing tasted amazing!
My jammy dodgers went down an absolute treat at work, I've had requests since to make them again, so I definitely will be at some point. They were just a slightly modified shortbread recipe; i cut out circles and then cut smaller circles into half of them, then when cooked sandwiched them together with raspberry jam. They were great but I know I can make them better, in terms of both taste and appearance!
Sorry, no pictures due to my dead camera, but the pictures return in the next post!
