Looks superb! Though curious about the icing, is that not icing sugar on top?

First cake I'd ever baked!

It's butter frosting (icing sugar and butter) but with a whole lemon zest and juice in it.

I had a bit of a pork fest at the weekend. Mmmm pork.

Pulled pork and ribs, mac n cheese and chips.

And the Mrs made a cake for the youngest's birthday...

That cake is amazing!

(& as usual, nom nom nom pulled pork)

randal · 17 Dec 2012 at 11:08

That cake is tremendous, almost a shame to serve it up!

Her cakes are phenomenal to be fair!

Monster cake. Bit of a rush as she had about 2hrs to do this in!

Bit of Pooh.

Wedding cake with edible flowers, which she made.

Fairy cake.

Bless her cottons.

Flowers are painstakingly difficult, the other half's Mum makes cakes and she swears years of making wedding cakes have given her arthritis!

Your Mrs should be very proud of her work, fantastic looking cakes there.

Thanks! I'll pass on the message, she'll love you!

+1 .

Great skill. Would she mind posting a tutorial for one of the cakes such as the bananas one or the alien one?

I'll see if she fancies it. I told her she should have a youtube channel and do bits and pieces but she comes across all coy.

Ha!

Ha!

Well, being on a video is somewhat more daunting than writing up something

Would love to hear some tips from her too.

cheechm · 29 Dec 2012 at 21:10

So what did you "roast'ish" in?

ingouk · 29 Dec 2012 at 21:11

sous vide and then quickly browned it off on a hot pan

OCdude · 29 Dec 2012 at 21:39

Decided to give bread a go, quite happy with the result, came out pretty perfect IMO

PapaLazaru · 29 Dec 2012 at 21:41

That looks like a perfect loaf! Good work!

ingouk · 29 Dec 2012 at 21:46
