Girls Afternoon Out


So now for something a little different!

It's not often I share events from my life with you, but as food played a big part of this afternoon I thought it would be rude not too.


So I went out with three of my lovely twitter friends, Jools, Michelle and Nadia and we made a little stop on LadurĂ©e for a few drinkies and a bite to eat. 


Well you can't make up you mind what you want to eat without a drink and something to nibble on right. 


I ordered these cute Mini Beef Burgers, they were tiny, but delicious! And those chunky chips. Devine!!


Oooh and what's dinner without pudding right!?! This is mine.


Nads' looked amazing too!!

And it'd be rude not to take a few things home with us!!


(Nads your pic looks better than mine, obvs I NEED that new phone!!)





Thanks for lovely afternoon girlies. 

Now I think I might have to make Macaroons this weekend.

Watch this space. 

Happy Eating ;)

White Chocolate Heaven

Here's a little something yummy I made for a joint birthday celebration for my fab friends Alice and Karen.

For the cake -
150g Margarine
150g Sugar
175g Self Raising Flour
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
3 Large Eggs

Mix all ingredients together and then divide between two tins. 
Bake Gas Mark 4 for 40 minutes.
Once cooled sandwich the cakes together with Jam and Butter Cream.


Once sandwiched together, then smooth Butter Cream around the outside.


Then use sponge fingers as a surround, securing in place with a ribbon.


I then covered the cake with white chocolate buttons, layering them out from the centre of the cake.


Was delicious!!! (modest I know!)


Went down smoothly with a couple of glasses of wine!!

Happy Baking
