My sister recently bought me Miranda Gore Browne's new book 'Biscuits' and it is fab! I got up bright and early yesterday morning and got straight in the kitchen to make her coconut thumb biscuits (the jam was replaced with a chocolate button). I would definitely recommend the book for any baking or biscuit lovers!
My lovely friend Jen turns 22 on the 6th of January and it's become quite a tradition that she comes to my house on Christmas Eve Eve for lunch as a "pre-birthday" celebration. As I can't always spend the day with Jen on her birthday, I like to make her a special cake and this year was no exception! Last year saw the creation of a cheeky cat but my architectural cake skills have advanced since then so this year's challenge was a chocolate log cabin! Complete with tiled roof and our family christmas decorations. I think we were both pretty chuffed with the results!!!
