The week before I was ill I made a granary loaf, a vanilla sponge from Jo Wheatley's book, A Passion for Baking, some vanilla cupcakes with two tone buttercream topped with mini marshmallows, and of course the obligatory raisin and oatmeal cookies.
First up - the loaf
Cookies
Cupcakes - pretty?
and the sponge
The following week I made a batch of mini victoria sponges and a batch of blueberry muffins only as I spent two days at The Big Cake Show and also managed to meet and have my photo taken with Jo Wheatley and she signed my book for me too
Mini Victoria sponges filled with cherry jam and freshly whipped cream
Blueberry muffins, different recipe using oil instead of any other fat such as butter or margarine this time
Final week, started off using up the spare biscuit dough from a previous batch of dinosaur cookies and with my little grandson Max's help we made some more
Next a granary loaf
Followed by a country farmhouse fruit cake
Then a batch of vanilla cupcakes with a variety of toppings, mainly using up leftover buttercream from my freezer, so some plain pink, some coffee and some chocolate and one poor relation with water icing and a cherry
And finally 1/2 hour ago these oat and raisin cookies
