Cake & Bake Show London 2012
Remember when I posted this sneak peak of The Cake & Bake Show a few weeks ago? Well the real deal has finally arrived this weekend! The crowds at Earl’s Court were massive! I was really lucky and didn’t have to wait in the queue (which nearly snaked all the way to the tube station). They told me at the press office they sold 20,000 tickets.
Almond Breakfast Pastries
I love breakfast and I love pastries. That was ever a big secret around here! After the success of using yeast in my Chocolate Chip Sticky Buns I finally decided that if I did it once I could do it again…and again!
Lemon Nutmeg Madelines
Madelines are so dainty and sweet looking aren’t they? I love their softness and sponginess. They’re just calling to be served with a cup of tea or coffee! The recipe comes from my new favorite, Scandilicious Baking, which I recommend for those looking for something new to try.
Blueberry Upside Down Cake
It’s all about Scandinavian baking this week! This very vibrant cake is from Scandilicious Baking. This cake takes insanely fresh and is super moist. I made a nine inch cake and it only lasted two days…and their are only two people living in our house!
Scandinavian Baking
The last few years when Scandinavian and food is mentioned people think of Noma, the uber trendy and and expensive restaurant in Copenhagen. Or you know, Swedish meatballs associated with a furniture chain.
Cupcake Book Club #5
This month’s book is How to Bake a Perfect Life by Barbara O’Neal. The book is set in Colorado and is about a young pregnant teenager who finds solace in baking bread. Buy the book on Amazon UK and Amazon US.
July Cupcake Book Club Creations
Thanks to everyone who read along to Like Water for Chocolate. This post is a little late but now that summer is over the book club will be back on schedule. I enjoyed this Mexican novel and hope everyone else did as well.
