This week past was a doozy as not only did I have my weekly challenge with my mum, but I also had a two bake commission from my Nan. First was my victoria sponge, which I made for the challenge (but also because I had a freind coming to hang out) which I made into bunnies . Again. I can't be stopped this mold is my absolutle favorite . My only note is the cake needs to be a little extra cooked to ensure it holds its shape. The first batch of these , which passes the skewer test , fell apart on the way out. A few more minutes to a darker gold and it came out perfectly
My second bake was naan bread. Which... I don't honestly know . I never had naan bread before so I'm not really sure how it's supposed to be. Mine ended up quite crisp which was really nice but I have no idea if that was as intended. If you are a naan bread fan, I'd appreciate your input.
My third bake was a set of iced buns. Which are my most baked recipe by a far margins. Not had them go wrong once although the decoration on this batch where perhaps a slight sloppy on count of I left it to the last minute and had to do both it and the cake in a day. ( Well I got a few minutes to decorate my cake In the morning of the next day before being picked up but it was close).
My fourth bake was a chocolate orange cake with a chocolate ganache covering and some whipped cream . It went quite well although I will say I could not get the Seville orange it demanded . I ended up using a more typical orange and then a lemons zest to give it some of the punch it misses. It went down a absolutle treat.
Next week will contain confection and some lucky buiscuits.
