Happy Holidays

What a wonderful holiday we have had in Cornwall. Our base was an amazing barn in Sithney not far from Penzance and it was a truly inspriational place.  Christine, the owner baked the MOST amazing brownies and was kind enough to share the recipe with me so I had to try them for myself (and the girls).  The kitchen was amazing and I have never baked in an Aga before so that was a treat and a challenge!!!!  The girls enjoyed it anyway!!!!


Yummy brownie mix!

Also tomorrow we have a tea party for 20 so have been busy baking a whole host of cakes and savoury treats including Pea and parmesan crostini and of course cupcakes and lemon drizzle cake to name a few!  The adult version of a "party bag" are these cute little cake pops as a special treat to take away.

Anyway off to bed, more baking tomorrow!x
