Stuff Happiness Is Made Of

Carrot Cake

Carrot cake is one of my favourite cakes but is probably one of the most fattening cakes out in there. Never mind - at least carrot is a vegetable!




I covered it with a cream cheese topping and decorated it with cherries.

Feeling very full now.

Currypuffs

I am a great believer in currypuffs. When I was young my mom used to make it all the time and this time I decided to get her to teach me how to do it, me being the ignorant goose that I am.

Here they are:




Overall, was very pleased with it. The pastry used was just plain shortcrust and the filling is just chilli, potatoes and mince chicken with lots of onions.

I baked it to reduce the amount of oil in the currypuff - not that it makes currypuffs healthy. But at least I tried.

Can't wait to try making sardine rolls instead.

Strawberry and Blueberry Sponge Cake

After a long break I'm finally back. Really happy to be able to potter around the kitchen again.

I've never had much success with sponge cakes but this turned out beautifully - probably because I used a better mixer than the one I had previously. I decorated it with whipped fresh cream and topped it off with strawberries and blueberries.






I love baking.
