Small cakes

I made these for Megan's baby shower last week (congratulations on the arrival of Imogen Corinne Parker).

Very simple, quick and tasty recipe. Truly tastes like the ones Nanna used to make.

I loved the fact I could use the little silicone cupcake moulds I received from Mum for my birthday last year. They really looked terribly cute with pastel pink and blue casings and a little white icing on top.

Truly delightful.

Nanna biscuits

I even love the name of these biccies.

Even though I felt like I had some trouble making these and they all melded together on the baking tray in the oven, I loved these.

I enjoyed using my cute blue measuring scales to get the correct amounts of ingredients. I loved the fact these were so quick and easy to make and require so little cleaning up afterwards!

The ingredients were meant to come together as a dough, but they really didn't. Despite this fact, the end result was a sweet, buttery biscuit.

I ended up making two batches.

The first batch I made for my sister-in-law, the giver of the recipe book, who has been doing it tough lately, but has demonstrated an amazing strength, patience and perseverance. She is truly wonderful. I hope that the biccies have and will help her enjoy her down-time. Love you Leesh!

The second batch was shared with the girls, Bec, Tahlia, Kate, Erin and myself, on our roadtrip to Canberra. It was such a fun weekend, and I hope that whenever I make these little gems in the future, I will reminisce over the girlie weekend away! Love you girls!

The picture I've included is of the final biscuit (of some 32 I made) that I will enjoy with a cup of tea later on today.

All Together Cake

This was simply the easiest cake ever. Love love love it! These ingredients are all just from the cupboard buzzed together for 6 minutes and baked for 40.

The icing however did not come together as easily, and despite tasting buttery and sweet, looked positively gross on the cake and nothing like the picture in the recipe book! I added so much more dry ingredient to try and get it together, but the consistency of the icing was still rather vomity.

But with fresh whipped cream and some dollops of raspberry jam, it tasted amazing!

Next time, I will make my own butter icing.
