And the award winning cake is...

Thanks for the kind congratulations on the Bake Off 1st prize - I'm stoked!  Most importantly, we managed to raise $900 as part of Cancer Council's Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, which makes me even happier :)

Have to say Emmsy, your turkish delight cake probably would have knocked mine out of the ball park, it looks capital Unreal.  Recipe, please?!

Here is the recipe for my award winning Pink Velvet Cake (I added a gorgeous - and expensive - pile of fresh raspberries to decorate), courtesy of The Australian Women's Weekly, which is one of my favourite culinary sources.  Happy baking !  Jas.xx

a shout out and HUGE congratulations...

to my home girl jas, who took out FIRST PLACE today at her work's baking challenge. Jas doesn't work just anywhere, guest judges included Jared Ingersoll founder of Danks St Depot, and Joanna Savill, editor of SMH's Good Living and the annual Good Food Guide.

She has promised to post some pictures up but i know already that she's whipped up something pretty special.

To tide you over until she knocks you over with her mean skills, i present to you, an orange + almond cake with a cream cheese frosting, dressed with pistachios, turkish delight and freeze dried strawberries. it looks like christmas :)
