It is a tradition in our team that when it is your birthday you supply the sweet treats. So, last Wednesday when I became a year older, I decide to bake a Scottish classic – Shortbread! 🙂 The photo demonstrate a nice use of tupperware; I was cycling to work that day and so packaging had to be practical as opposed to pretty. 😀
Unfortunately I cannot disclose the ingredients as it is a secret recipe which my Mother in Law has kindly shared with me. It is therefore a myth that all Mother in Laws are evil 😛

Mademoiselle Macaron!

Last night I had the opportunity to join 5 others and attend Mademoiselle Macaron’s first class at the Edinburgh School of Food & Wine! It was lots of fun and Rachel is a natural at teaching.
During the class we got taught how to make the following flavours:
– vanilla
– rose
– chocolate
– pistachio
– orange
I was given the task of making the orange variety and they were super tasty. I know what I will be doing this weekend…. 🙂
The world’s biggest coffee morning

Today I had the pleasure of being involved in my office’s participation in the ‘The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’, a great fund raiser for MacMillan Cancer Support
To begin with I created the nostalgia classic ‘Top Hats’; Cadbury’s Dairy Milk, Nestle’s Smarties and marshmallows:
Not the most uniform of Top Hats but as part of the fundraiser, our office hosted the ‘The Great Adobe Bake Off’. I therefore spent most of my time baking my company’s logo into a cake as my entry 🙂 Chocolate cake with a hint of mint with dark chocolate ganache and red and white regal icing:
