Baking day...





Busy, busy, busy baking this week.  My sister is having her three children christened on Sunday and I have been given the honour (?!) of not only being Godmother to all three, but also having the after party at my house!  My cookery books have been perused and lists have been made.




I've had one shopping delivery of non-perishables, and there is another due on Friday of fresh stuff.





The kitchen has, at times, looked like a bomb has hit it.





Number of cupcakes made:


  • 16 x vanilla
  • 20 x chocolate
  • 16 x lemon





Number of focaccia made:  3!

Now all nicely stashed in the freezer because Ruth says that baked goods are great for freezing and I am going to be up against it on Friday and Saturday making other goodies.

I have taken to using these little page markers to identify my favourite recipes in my books.  It makes finding what I'm looking for so much easier.

    WOW, you have/are busy cooking up a storm in your kitchen. Lemon cupcakes sound yummy to me. I like your idea about the page markers in your recipe books. I'll have to remember that little tip.
    Good luck with everything,

    Crikey! That's quite a feat. Your cookery books look lovely, with all the spines in complementary colours. Would make a beautiful quilt!

    You really are quite the fairy godmother, those are lucky children.
