Hi there, I am back. I notice my last blog was 30 April last year!
That doesn't mean I havn't been baking, it just means I havn't been bragging about it.
I have been watching with interest, along with my friend Annette, Nestle NZ's Hottest Home Baker. I have been expecting to be impressed with all the wonderful mouth watering cakes they so cleverly create. But I have been very disappointed. They don't appear to be good bakers at all, making really basic errors. I know what your thinking, that I should go on the show and see how many errors I make!!! ha. No thanks.
Instead, I have been following a blog called 'Heartbreak Pie'. It is really entertaining. The writer is a 20-something lady from Wellington called Delaney. She has some wonderful recipes and she goes through what she bakes giving little hints along the way. Last week she made Ray McVinnies Pink Lady cake that he published in the Sunday Star Times. So I am giving it a go this weekend to take to friends on Sunday night. Will share how it goes.
We are heading off on a cycling trip to France this week and I thought I would write my diary on this blog. Hopefully you will find it interesting. We start in Avignon and end up in Geneva two weeks later. We are to climb every mountain on our bikes (and we are calling it a holiday!). My view on the holiday will be very different from everyone elses, as the riding does not come as naturally these days, to me as it does to others, so a few laughs are assured.

I was just making a loaf and used some Chelsea Golden Syrup, and noticed that I called the Home Baker show by the wrong name! I can't find the amend button on the blog so hence the comment. It should read Chelsea NZ's Hottest Home Baker!
ReplyDeleteI agree..the bakers on the baking show are really quite hopeless. I wonder if they are set up by the producers to make the show have some kind of "drama"
ReplyDeleteIt'd be good if they actually gave useful hints instead. Really it's not about the baking at all, but about tears and nastiness!
Bon voyage, have a lovely time xxx
