A weekend of baking – Sponsored

May 17, 2015 by admin 11 Comments

I posted last week about World Baking Day and the World’s Happiest Cake, and today I actually made that cake for my little gymnasts who had a competition that they were both very nervous about.

I used Stork for the first time ever and it made for a gorgeous light, fluffy sponge, I’d definitely use it again over butter. The cake had a lovely sunny, happy feel to it, perfect for a beautiful Spring day.

My little gymnasts performed brilliantly and were very happy to come home with an array of medals. They both work so hard and have improved so much recently, I’m very proud of them both. I was so relieved they both got medals as Zak would have been heartbroken if he’d lost to his little sister.

I’ve been extra busy this weekend and also baked a Harry Potter Hogwarts castle for Zak’s 8th birthday party ( he likes to challenge me ) I didn’t think it was that great, but his friends seemed suitably impressed. The cupcakes are meant to have scarves of them, but I got a bit bored, so only made two, I’m clearly not cut out to be a baker. I don’t have the eye for accuracy and neatness required, but I did have fun and the kids have loved their cake filled weekend.

    You are making my stomach grumble and it is not even lunchtime.

    Well done on the medals. My girls are both gymnasts, so it is lovely to see others enjoying it too.

    Ahhh I am so hungry right now!!!! I haven’t had a proper home baked cake for a few weeks now – I’ll remedy that tomorrow – fruit cake is called for I think!
    Loving the Hogwarts skillz! I was secretly a bit happy when Oz told me he wanted a minions cake from the supermarket for his birthday cake!!!

    I don’t have the eye for neatness or detail too so tend to leave the fancy stuff to others and stick to what I know best – big fat puddings! Haven’t made one for a while actually as we are trying to be good. Your sponge looks fab x
