I have promised to take freshly baked cakes to every client meeting, because frankly, who doesn’t love cake?!
But…
I am not a professional baker, so please don’t be expecting beautifully polished creations. However, baking is something I really enjoy. And with two little ones to look after, it is a bit of escapism, where I can spend an hour in the kitchen mixing various ingredients together to create some yummy treats.
Typically, I’ll come armed to meetings with a box of six cupcakes…
Although I have been known to take in traybakes (especially if I have a team of techies I need to butter up to help with some thought-leadership content!), cake loaves (like banana bread), and one time I made a swiss roll because it was the managing director’s favourite…
From baking with my boys, we’ve perfected flapjack, which you can have topped with chocolate, or complete with raisins…
Sometimes I theme my treats, like these festive macaroons…
Or these for cakes for Halloween…
My favourite cakes to bake (because I know the recipes off by heart!) are traditional vanilla…
Or a more indulgent chocolate…
Sometimes marbled with vanilla sponge for something a bit different…
Or these incredible lemon cupcakes…
I’m happy to make fruity cupcakes…
But NEVER ask me for a vegetable cake – how is that even a thing?!?!!
But whatever the cake, I promise it will always be made with love!
And if there’s something you really fancy, just ask!
Blondies…
Caramel cupcakes…
Lemon drizzle…
