Baking but no blogging...

Well hello!  Back from my unplanned hiatus, I've clearly dropping the ball a little as I blog this on a Thursday.  Oh well, no matter.  The last few weeks have been spent in the theatre with little time for anything else!

I have managed to squeeze some baking in though, mostly early on a Sunday morning or late on a Monday night, fully-intending to quickly blog it come Wednesday.  But as they say in 'da hood, FAIL.  So today's blog is a little showcase of the ones that got away...




First up!  Some delightful friends of mine from KL came to visit, so I packed them some goodies for their road-trip along the Great Ocean Road.  These mini banana breads were included - they're pretty much a staple of mine.

Secondly, here's the Cinnamon-coated Apple-Maple cakes I made to celebrate the opening of a gorgeous shop my sister-in-law, her sister their Mum have opened in Melbourne.  It's called Mondo Cherry.  Check it out: www.mondocherry.blogspot.com.au

I've been wanting to make these cakes for aaaages and finally used my mini-bundt tins.  Smiles all round our house that day!

And lastly, it was my housemate's birthday, so a cake was of course in order.  Simple but effective, I went for a layered vanilla cake with freshly whipped cream (sweetened with maple sugar from the homeland), strawberries and a little leftover raspberry jam.  Unanimous num nums.



The plan is to back into the swing of things next Wednesday, so stay posted!
