Hello!
One of my favourite things to do when I'm bored or just feeling a little out of sorts, is baking! I've mentioned this before in a previous "What I do when I'm bored" post and as this weekend was "one of those days", me and my mom had a little mother daughter bake off!
Since we had quite a few ingredients to use up, we decided to make more than one cake and even some cupcakes for on the side. After 3 cook books and about an hour later, we decided on a plain Victoria Sponge cake with our own home grown strawberries (yes, we're that cool!) and then summer fruits cupcakes and plain chocolate cupcakes. Yummy, right?
Sorry I didn't take many photos of us making them but as you can see, they do look pretty gorgeous!
Wow they look lovely! I've got loads of eggs to use up so thinking of doing some baking too tomorrow :) xx
