Autumn Days When the Grass is Jewelled...

♥ Ceri makes...  took an afternoon stroll around Clapham Common,  its that lovely time of year when you can crunch through the freshly fallen autumnal leaves.  Beautiful...

Balham Cake Off THE FINAL...

♥ Ceri makes... while so the final day of the Balham Cake Off has come.  The final challenge was to whip up a Tray Bake - an easy choice for me in choosing what to bake as I happen to have THE most delicious Brownie recipe!  Which is now also officially a prize winning recipe,  sadly for you I am going to keep this one a secret for now!


And here is my rather lovely prize certificate! 
 

Thanks to everyone who came to cheer me on!  Such a fun few Sundays at Trinity Stores and as if I needed an excuse to bake anyway...

Balham Cake Off ROUND FOUR...

♥ Ceri makes...  in a truly traditional manner the clever organisers at Trinity Stores arranged for some rather serious judges from the Clapham WI to come and judge our 'Traditional bakes'.  I opted for one of my most popular bakes in the office - a Lemon Drizzle Tray Bake.  Its hardly suprising that it is so popular as the recipe I favour is one of Mary Berry's!


Other traditional bakes included a yummy Plum Bakewell Tart and a Sticky Ginger Loaf cake that would be perfect for a winter's eve.

Everyone is welcome to come & cheer me on in the final at Balham's Trinity Stores on 14th October,  see you there!

Balham Cake Off ROUND THREE...

♥ Ceri makes...  today's bake off challenge at Trinity Stores was to bake 'Cakes for Kids'.  I decided to try something new & task myself with cake pops.  They really were as delicious as they look!


Future Balham Cake Off dates here...


See you there!
