Week Twenty...Happy Birthday Trudy

I thought of doing a rendition of our wedding cake since it was 27 years this week since the first one, but that would have been as corny as it sounds! The suggestion came from Emma, our first born. That lead me to recall how the top layer of our wedding cake was kept in an air tight container and bought out and re iced for her christening. I took it to a lovely lady to have it iced and she had to break the news that the cake was totally ruined and smelly.......so much for that great idea and a new cake was made for the occasion.

Anyway, back to the present.....Our very dear friend Trudy, turned another year older today and her favourite cake of all time is carrot. There is a very simple butterless recipe in one of the many cake books I have, so we took it around this morning and stayed for a sample. Very nice, if I do say so myself!!! So Happy Birthday Trudy, it is lovely to be able to make YOU a cake for once as you are the queen of catering and have turned out many a delicious cake over the years for us.

I ended up coming home with another recipe book. I have been trying to get my hands on this book for quite some time ..... 'Fuel for your Family The Waihi Cooks'. I notice there are 9 cake recipes in it so I will try one for next week. Until then, take care.
