April - Eggcellent Easter!

We've gone a bit Easter mad over at the Cake'n'Bake Club, but it's been a great month for trying new things. We also realised that when it comes to baking, mini-eggs are the key ingredient for making your recipe Easter-y.

A few of us thought that tonight would be a chocolate over-load, but when it came down to it there wasn't much chocolate at all. Catherine baked a Raspberry and Amaretto Cake, Charlie baked a Lemon Sponge (filled with home-made lemon curd to boot!), Jaymes baked some Melting Moment Cookies, dipped in chocolate and covered with crushed mini-eggs, Katrina baked some Orange and Lemon Cupcakes, Lorna baked some Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns (to cater for those of us adverse to raisins...), Olly baked a Blueberry Pie, Sarah baked some Traditional Hot Cross Buns, Stacey baked a Lamb and Apple Pie, and Tom baked his mum's Traditional Simnel Cake!

We also handed out the prizes to the winners of our Easter Baking Competition, pictured below are Sarah and Jaymes with their goody bags at the meeting, and Katrina, who couldn't come to the meeting due to a last minute change of plans, dropping off her cupcakes and collecting her goody bag. Well done again to the three of them for their wonderful Easter-y creations!
