This week I have been off work enjoying a week with the family at home, I have done a lot of baking and trying new things.
I made my own clotted cream and butter which I used to make some shortbread, they were ok, think the clotted cream made them slightly chewy but I was assured they tasted fab.
I also made Caramel cupcakes with a chocolate and caramel buttercream for a friends 16th and another friend who was desperate to try my cakes. Like many use 2 colours to add decoration to the buttercream I added the caramel into the icing bag also.
Raspberry Jam, scones, a cake for Good To Know who are celebrating their 5th birthday and asked readers to bake a cake for them. (this was very quick as deadline was friday and I had my dates mixed up)
Finally a Large Madeira with jam and buttercream for a my friends Father in law who retired and was celebrating his 65th Birthday, Happy Birthday Bernie.
Who Can Guess what his occupation was? the cars have a clue on them

Wow! Amazing cakes!! Love the retirement cake but think I’d could quite easily tuck into the cupcakes! Looks as though you made the most of the week.

The cake was fantastic. It was a shame to eat it. The cupcakes where absolutely delicious. I’ll have to move otherwise I’ll get to a size 20 before I know it. Well done Angie supreme cake maker.
