Rivet Cake

It was Johann's birthday on Friday, and this year's challenge was to make rivet cake, in honour of our friends' industrial club night.  This called for the fantastic edible silver spray paint which Fran and I found in Camden Sainsbury's.  Yay!

So, I made a Russian Coffecake (painted silver), a plain vegan chocolate cake (painted silver) and the actual Rivet Cake - a vegan chocolate-frosted cake, decorated like a pop rivet and painted silver. 

Mexican orange choc cake

Inspired by our Mexican food dinner, I made a wacky (chocolate) cake with orange zest and chili.

Quite good, if I do say so myself. A bit like posh Terry's chocolate orange.

Normal service to resume soon....

It's been ages since my last post, mostly because the move to London took over my life. But we're now settling in, and I've done a couple of epic breakfasts, including a triple batch of blueberry pancakes this morning.
Plans are for stollen in the run up to Christmas, and, if needed, some vegan mince pies.

Last one....

Apricot upside down tart.

And more... Hot cross buns

From the vault...

My birthday cake - Mexican chocolate with cinnamon frosting.

Porter cake

Baked cupcakes for estate patrol and the porters who saved us yesterday in a pinch. I've become my mother - baking as a thank you!
