We had another fantastic meeting at the weekend with the theme Boozy Bakes being a popular one. Sadly, despite Sunday evening being the most popular choice initially, a few interested members couldn't make it as it was the bank holiday weekend and we had a couple of no-shows leaving just 6 of us again but wow, those 6 bakes were amazing!
I remembered to get a group shot of us this time too!
We had another lovely evening of chat and cake munching with a few cups of tea. (I did offer booze since it was boozy bakes but we had enough of that in the food anyway!)
And as for the bakes, I can't pick a favourite, although I'm always going to have a soft spot for my old favourite, the Guinness cake I made. They were all so different this time, it was lovely to try so many new things.
Helen C baked these beautiful Mojito cupcakes which she crystallised the mint leaves for herself! They had a good hint of lime and just the right kick of rum, delicious!
My, much less attractive, Chocolate Guinness Cake by Nigella. So easy to make, moist and delicious, I just love this cake, it works every time! (Recipe to follow.)
Laura D made these scrummy Baileys chocolate cupcakes with Baileys icing.
New member, Lynda W-S made this very tasty rum & raisin bundt cake which was deceptively light.
Pamela M made a Tiramisu cake which was divine, super light and fluffy with just the right amount of liqueur and coffee and a crunchy addition of pistachios!
Another new member, Gillian, made a deliciously stodgy flour-less Chocolate Souffle Cake with Armagnac prunes! (Prunes not pictured but they were super boozy, yum!)
So as you can see, we were well and truly spoilt and full up by the end of the evening!
Even if you're not a confident baker, please do come along if you fancy joining us. Bake something easy, we don't judge! Details to follow soon on the next theme but if you want to come along, join in the poll to choose the date for our next event here.
