Adventures - Spiced Pound Cake with Lemon Drizzle

While in the UK I stayed with my cousins in London and I got to bake!
It was also my first time using a KitchenAid! Okay... So I'm easily pleased...

Anyway, Ruth (my cousin) & I decided to try something different with the ingredients we had at hand: mainly spices with lots, and I mean lots, of lemons.

Refresh - Sunny Citrus Bars

Sunny indeeed. Far more than I can say for the weather here in England! There hasn't been a day without rain except on Saturday! Quite a summer...
Nonetheless, this recipe is a keeper. Truly a breath of fresh air with all that citrus and sugar!

Lemon Almond & Polenta Cake

Hello! Sorry that this post is so late. Just competed 4 night shifts this morning and the nights were pretty busy.

This, my friends, is one of the best lemon cake recipes I have tried to date! Here's how it all began..

These were just wonderful! There's just something about lemons that is so refreshing. And these biscuits proved to be full of lemon without being sour.
I would have piped the biscuits out though to ensure absolutely round biscuits.

At this point I decided to make my own piping bag for the icing. Making it wasn't a problem. Using it was an entirely different challenge.

MS: Lemon Meringue Cupcakes

So, for Christmas, one wonderful present I received with great joy was a Martha Stewart Cupcake Calendar. In this calendar there are recipes for various cupcakes. I am determined to complete all 12 cupcakes with a few modifications to the recipes as needed by the end of this year.

Originally I thought of doing them all consecutively but thought that boring and there's more to the baking world than just cupcakes!

Anyway, here's the first cupcake:

Wedding Cake for Liz & Neil

It's funny how much we prepare for a single event and before we know it, it's over!

Well, I spent months preparing for my first wedding cake. Hours scouring blogs and youtube for tips and ideas. I sorta did a dry run and tried each cake several times. Even then, it didn't work out as well as I had expected.

This wedding cake was a 3 tiered cake. Each tier had 4 layers and each tier was a different flavour.
