Sorry Folks, Andrea is away for a bit

I have just had to take a break from my baking as I have had to travel to the States to go to my Grandmothers funeral.  I will be back hard at it soon but for now, taking a brief break

TWD- Chocolate Souffle

This weeks TWD is the very grown up Chocolate Souffle, selected by Susan of She’s Becoming DoughMessTic from page 406 of Baking From My Home To Yours by Dorie Greenspan.

This came together quickly and with no dramas.  My fan forced only oven made some of the top a bit dark brown but it was still lovely.

Now go and check out the TWD blogroll for all the other high achievers out there.

Planet Cake

So I finally made it to Sydney for the Planet Cake workshop.

I am here for a whole week of cake decorating fun.

Here is a link to the photos.   With limited internet it is easier to post on facebook.

Having a great time.

TWD- Espresso Cheesecake Brownies

Sorry I am running a bit late, life took over.  I am sure you know!

Melissa of Life in a Peanut Shell chose Espresso Cheesecake Brownies, from Baking From My Home To Yours by Dorie Greenspan on pages 104 and 105.

This is another of Dories riffs on old favourites.  Brownies for the base and cheesecake laced with espresso with a brownie swirl and if you feel the need lightly sweetened sour cream.

These were ok but given Dorie has something for just about every brownie lover these weren’t my fav (for the record I was silly busy on my birthday this week and the Katherine Hepburn brownies were my choice for something cake like in hurry).

Although I am deeply keen on next weeks recipe I may be running late as I am going to Sydney for the Planet Cake week long cake workshop.  Wish me good cake luck!
