Haven’t been blogging because it’s the holidays and I have loads of time! *grin*
Am on a baking rampage. Mummy bought the 2nd Magnolia Bakery Cookbook for me “More from Magnolia” and I just tested the first recipe from it yesterday- Carrot Cake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Icing. It was yummy. Moist and light and crumbly and gorgeous. Had some problems with the icing though- must refrigerate for at least two hours before you attempt to frost the cake or it will be too melty.
In the past two weeks I’ve also made Blueberry Cheesecake and White Chocolate Scones. Both of which turned out yummy. Am inspired. I wanna buy the first Magnolia Bakery Cookbook and the Buttercup Bake Shop one as well. haha can you sense another obsession coming on? I’ll post pictures when I have time but I dunno how to do that with the home pc. Ah well.
I love when the kitchen smells gorgeously delicious and homey…Yesterday it smelt of carrot, coconuts, raisins, pineapple and toasted walnuts. YUM! I want it to smell of flaky golden pumpkin pie on Halloween, gingerbread, orange fireside cake with brandy glaze at christmas…muffins in the morning! Okay I’m getting all dreamy but it will happen!
In other news, my grandmother has advanced stomach cancer, please pray for her…
