Mrs Pash's Teeny Kitchen: Week ending 25th May

This week I have attempted a fat free fruit cake, rocky roads, tried my hand at a Paul Hollywood recipe for a white loaf (twice), melting moment biscuits, my first ever attempt at a swiss roll in my new swiss roll tin, and my first attempt at a meringue base (I had some egg whites left over and some cream from the swiss roll filling - and its a shame to waste it lol), and finally a coffee and walnut tray bake from the Mary Berry Baking Bible.

First up and its the rocky roads - most of these went to my daughter Jo's place of work!!

Then two loaves using a Paul Hollywood recipe this time and using the dough hook in my Kenwood - this is the first loaf from dough through to loaf

And this is the second one made a couple of days later - I like the recipe a lot although I still think my favourite white loaf is the one from Jo Wheatley's first book 'A passion for Baking' http://www.sainsburysentertainment.co.uk/en/Books/Hardback/Jo-Wheatley/A-Passion-For-Baking-Sainsbury-s-Exclusive/product.html?product=E11076373

Fat free fruit cake (from a Rosemary Conley magazine courtesy of my sister)

Melting moments - these were so easy and taste delicious (oops more weight gain I feel)

Next my first ever attempt at a swiss roll with jam and cream filling this time

And my first ever meringue base, quite small as I only had two egg whites this time. and its a fairly thin base but still scrummy - if i only had two whites another time I would make the circle smaller and thicker, but no complaints were had from those who ate it - and yes that included me!!
