Jaffa Cake

We made this for Ps Vernon's birthday, which is tomorrow. Ma hunted for a recipe that would call for lots of his favourite - rum! It's hard to tell, but this cake has just been generously glazed with orange juice - rum mixture.

It was tricky separating the egg yolks and egg whites for this cake. Ma and I had a couple of mishaps and our hands were too gooey to take any photos.

Stay tuned cos we have yet to coat this cake with a chocolate-coffee glaze tomorrow.

Here it is ... Happy birthday, Pastor Vernon! :-)

P.S. (from Ma) This was supposed to be a surprise birthday cake for Vernon at a dinner tonight, which was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. So now he gets to share it with Auntie Isabel tomorrow :-)

Special Cakes for Special People

It's Auntie June's birthday on the 24th of this month. We made a carrot cake with cream cheese icing for her.
This was how the carrot cake looked like before we topped it with cream cheese and decorations. The stuff you see on the surface are pineapple bits that were chopped a wee too big :-)
