A cake for the girls !


With a cupboard and fridge full of ingredients and the rain still pouring down outside, it's little wonder I spent the weekend baking.  It's also not often that I get the chance to do it over a WHOLE weekend.  I had nothing in my calendar, I had no catering jobs on and I had nothing pressing that I had/wanted to do, so I embarrassed the baker within and baked, washed dishes, baked again, washed dishes again and baked yet again....until I could bake no more!

One of the little treats to come out of the oven was this delicious (and might I add somewhat girly)
Orange Cake

With a thick layer of orange blossom icing and topped with pretty little flowers - this cake put a big smile on my face and not to mention, a satisfying extra few kilos on my thighs. 




Well, there goes those 2kg I lost the other week....ho hum!

  1. This cake is currently on my bench, cooling down. I've decided it's much easier for me to just cook from your blog. It saves me the headache of trawling through all my books and mags. And everything just works. Oh... The cake smells amazing!! Can't wait to eat it.
