Coffee Sponge Cake

Morning to everyone, for once it isn't raining in Warrington (yet). Hope it doesn't I have just managed to put some washing out. Well I thought I would share another photo of my cakes making projects with you. This was a Victoria sponge coffee flavoured cake drizzled a little icing and added walnuts to the top. My husband took this into work with him for him and his friends.

It was my birthday last week and I made some more cakes but I forgot to take pictures of them for my notebook. I made another coffee flavour, chocolate with drizzled melted chocolate over the top and the good old favorite, just a plane one. I took these into work to share with my workmates, I think they enjoyed them. I am off now to try out some more recipes, my sister bought a cake decorating book which is very informative and really gets the imagination going, I am planning to make some small Christmas cakes and decorate them so I had better get a move on.

Baby Shawl

Here is another shawl I have been making in between all the other projects on the go. This is made from a double knitting wool which I got from our local Pound Stretcher, it came in 200g balls and it cost £2.50 per ball. I made this with just over two of three that I bought. It is in a lovely shade of pink and lilac's although it is not very clear from the photo. I also have another three balls in shades of blue and will be making something with this soon.

Babies

After the devastation caused by the bad winter, some of our plants are recovering and I also think the very wet weather we have been having has helped a lot. Here are some pictures of the Australis that was damaged quite badly, on my last post you will have seen that it had small shoots on it, well look at it now! Sorry a couple of the pictures are on the side, not figured out how to change that yet.
