Cherry Cake and School Crafts

Zoe and I made the English Cherry Cake from Mary Berry's Baking Bible, and I must say it was absolutely delicious!

It was supposed to be in a slightly smaller tin, so should have been a bit deeper (and cooked for a lot longer) but it was still lovely.  It was an all in one cake, so it was really easy to make too - just whack all the ingredients in the bowl and stick the mixer in till it isn't lumpy anymore.  I this would be a good picnic cake, because I think it would survive quite well being carted around in a plastic box very well, as long as Ben didn't eat it all first.  Will definitely be doing this one again.  Not sure what the lego man is doing.  Zoe said he wanted his photo taking with the cake.  As long as he doesn't eat it all, I don't mind!

Towards the end of term, Ben and Zoe have both been doing crafty foody things at school.  Ben had a mini topic on chocolate (don't remember doing anything that interesting when I was at school!).  He brought home some chocolates that he had made in a box that he designed himself too.  I managed to get a photo before he ate them all.

 I'm not sure about his pricing structure though!
Zoe made a bunny basket and chocolate nest, which she was very pleased with.  It didn't last very long either. :-)
