I think I was punished for delaying Baking Day to Thursday this week.  My pictures will explain clearly enough...

The cinnamon and honey icecream mixture went really well. But it seemed to be taking it's sweet time to set.

Next step: brandy snaps. "Leave space between each drop of mixture on the tray", the recipe said.  "Okay!" I replied (leaving slightly less space than suggested)...

 Ohhhhh.

No worries, it was so quick, I'll whip up another batch...done. Now you just curl them around a wooden spoon, right?

 

 Wrong.    So. Terribly. Wrong. 

Out of two whole batches worth, I was rewarded with a whopping FOUR brandy snaps.

Solution: break toffee into pieces and add it as artistic garnish to the icecream... 

...for about 20 seconds, until the toffee slowly drowns into the thick creamy soup.  Even hours later it still hadn't set.

I think I'd better go back to Wednesday next week.
