New blog

I have swapped this blog over to Wordpress. You can now find it here: http://cericakes.wordpress.com/

I will not be updating this blog any longer.

Tarte Tatin

In keeping with the French theme of dinner the other night (see here for the story), I decided to bake a French style dessert - Julia Child's upside-down apple tart. It was a buttery, caramelly, yummy tart!

Served with Creme Fraiche, it made the perfect end to our dinner!

Jamie Oliver's Sexy Swedish Buns

With a title like that, how could I not attempt them? This recipe is from one of Jamie Oliver's recent cookbooks - "Jamie Does" - and is supposed to reflect the cuisine of Sweden. They are basically a kind of blueberry flavoured brioche, and are best served warm and sticky.

Here's the ingredients. I was going to measure them all out for a pretty photo, but that would've made a lot of dishes... and that is so not how I roll when baking!

This is them before going into the oven. I was planning on taking progress shots as I went along, but I got carried away. And I thought that John might get mad if I got his camera all covered with flour, dough and sticky stuff. Note the recipe book in the background.

And this is the final product... really really yummy. Next time I might give this a shot with raspberries and cinnamon. Mmmm.....

There is likely to be a lot of posts in the coming weeks, as the countdown to Christmas begins. I'll keep you posted!

TTFN!
