July - Not the Olympics
So....with no Stacey we brave bakers attempted to cope 'without Mum!' As the mean people at Olympic headquarters banned everyone from using anything to do with the Olympics in their baking, we took it upon ourselves to work around it and have our 'Not the Olympics' night!
We had an absolutely vast amount of delicious sweet treats and as usual several of us (mainly me and Joy!!) had more than one round of the offerings!
Katrina made some really cute lembus bread rings which were yummy, Tom brought a 'Swedish Tea Ring' (although in his words he described it as fruit bread!), I came with glazed ring doughnuts, Lorna made individual carrot cakes with Olympic ring coloured icing, Jennie made a stunning Wimbledon themed lemon yoghurt cake with Smartie tennis ball decorations and strawberries, Sally tried to downplay her efforts by telling us she had scraped together 'any ingredients she had in her cupboard' and baked really delicious cupcakes with 3 different fillings: chocolate, banana and raspberry, Ruth dazzled us with wonderful Olympic medals (for her first visit to the club we were all really impressed!), Joy whipped up some baseball and golf themed cupcakes, which certainly surprised us when we realised they were chocolate flavoured, Catherine and Richard arrived with a plethora of treats: lime curd tart, orange and raspberry brownies and strawberry polenta cakes.
We survived without you Stacey....but you were really missed. We all agreed that we were looking forward to our picnic next month and the return of leader to sort us out, organise us and do far better at technical things like blogs...sorry Stacey - I tried my best :(
