Mrs Pash's Teeny Kitchen: Fortnight ending 16th November

Two weeks in one today as I have been unwell in between and was not able to update my blog. So calling on my little grey cells now to recall two weeks ago !!

I could not forget my first ever attempt at a giant cupcake, I also made my Christmas cake(s), I made 12 small individual cakes and used the rest of the mix to make a loaf shaped Christmas cake in the smaller of my two 2 lb loaf tins. I did forget to take a photo of the loaf tin cake before packing it away for storage (and brandy adding of course) but will post pictures once its marzipaned and iced.

I had also made some small fairy cakes accompanied by my grandson, Max, plus a large loaf of bread.

Now this week is was all about the little cakes and some new recipes. I made some mini coffee and walnut sponges, some lovely ginger and cinnamon cupcakes plus some lemon cupcakes topped with a creamy lemon buttercream and sugar nibs. No biscuits this week as I had less time, having been out of action for about 9 days

First of all my very first giant cupcake in stages

Now my loaf

crust looks a little wonky but it was all fine when cut and eaten !

Then the fairy cakes made with help from Max age 2 3/4

And now for the mini Christmas cakes- looking forward to decorating these.. they are actually darker than they look in the photo - probably too much light on them or the wrong angle, need to improve my photography skills !!
