Week Thirteen...Easter

I was all set to investigate Easter cakes and on finding one I discovered traditionally they have a marzipan filling. So this put me off as I couldn't imagine anyone liking a cake full of almond icing so I went to plan B....Greg's birthday. His favourite cake according to his better half, is a banana cake with chocolate icing. Very handy as I happen to have four bananas reaching over maturity in the fruit bowl. Also handy that Greg's birthday fell at Easter as half my family are jetting all over the place and wouldn't be here to do the eating! Emma had gone to her favourite part of NZ with her man and his family, Adam took off to Auckland to the Open Swimming Champs and Ben heads off to London for two weeks today. John, 'doesn't really eat cake', and I don't need cake!

So Happy Birthday Greg, you old bugger, (I can only say that because he is 3 months older than me) hope you enjoy your cake.
