Yesterday, I took along some Her Little Place lemon and lavender cake to Hyde Park for a picnic in the evening sun. The cake got eaten, but still, cute packaging, no?
Beautiful! I made the cake minus the lavender (because of a colleagues allergy) for my husband to take to work when he passed his PhD. His colleague and friend of ours asked me for the recipe, and her mother(who lives with her and her husband) apparently ate half of it in one day. I'd call that a success!!
I am going to make it with the lavender as well though!
Sorry lisa-marie, left you a comment but full of iPhone typos. That's lovely that you made it- it's worth trying with lavender although the difference is only subtle (you don't want the lavender to be too overpowering). I don't like refined icing sugar so have switched to making a crunchy lemon topping with unrefined granulated sugar- adds to texture, first the bite, then the moist zestyness. I myself have made three this week alone- one for the picnic as above, one for my editor, and one for a BBQ later today! Perfect for summer x
From as a long as I can remember, I've never been able to walk down a road without being distracted by trying to look through windows to see how other people have done up their homes. It's not that I'm not nosey (honest), it's just that I love interiors, not just for their style, but for what they say about people too. I regularly write about design and style for the newspapers, but I also write about lots and lots of other random stuff too. You can see my professional work here but this blog is mostly just for fun.
