cakes

Attempted to bake a cake today. Went somewhat wrong because I used a different baking tin than normal, and realised to my horror it was leaking. Ug. Had to open the oven door (groan) and put a baking tray underneath. Considering, it could have been worse. Still not great though, so I used a circle cutter to cut up the sponge and create mini Victoria Sponges. I'm no whizz in the kitchen, but I'm certainly adaptable! We used the remainder sponge as a pudding with jam and custard.

I have been baking. It's Andy's birthday tomorrow. He's knows I am baking so I've not spoiled any surprises. We are both completely hopeless at keeping secrets from each other, anyway. We can't help dropping hints all the time. Impressively for me I have not made much mess at all. Can it be possible I am turning into a tidy cook? I haven't got flour on my nose or anything.

We are going out for a special meal tonight at one of our very favourite places. We only go there on special occasions. Andy has taken Thursday and Friday off (Wednesday is his day off anyway) so he can have a bit of a break and enjoy himself. It is also Andy's parents' Golden Wedding Anniversary this weekend so we are going to a celebration for them too. I hope we have a nice few days. Our main holiday is not until July so the break will be much appreciated.

I'd better go peek through the oven doors.

Tiddly pom pom.
