Cake by cake…

While I was away getting all medieval out in France, Sue was keeping herself busy in a different way.

Always the social butterfly Sue had arranged to become involved in several different events (so that she would not have to spend time pining for me all alone at home – that’s what she tells me anyway), such as:

Comedy Night
This was an event at Sue’s sister’s work place where up and coming comedians performed as invited guests enjoyed an evening meal and drinks.

Mum’s Birthday
With Aunts and Jamie all coming around to our place, Sue put on a spread for her mother’s birthday that included some of her favourite cakes.

Swish Party
A swish party is an event where people bring unwanted clothes and accessories and gather together to swap them. It also seems to involve much eating and drinking. Sue hosted and spent several days making cakes; large ones, small ones, sweet ones and savoury ones, until the table was groaning under the weight of them.

Work Girls Night Out
This was another excuse to get together with friends and to eat and drink while catching up on gossip.

I would like to think this was just a case of ‘while the cat’s away’, but, you know…

…squeak, squeak!

Cakes, and such, baked include:

  • Carrot Cake
  • Coffee Walnut Cake
  • Apple n Cider Cake
  • Cinnamon and Blackberry cake
  • Apple and Plum Flap Jacks
  • Mini Jam Tarts
  • Mini Banofee Pies
  • MonteCarlo Biscuits
  • Cucumber, Smoked Salmon, Egg and Cress Sarnies
  • Carrot and Chili Flapjacks
  • And Mini Savory Tartlets

Since then Sue has also been to another event;

Held a friends place Sue joined this party where olive oil and various other condiments were being sampled with the objective of enticing you to buy them. Needless to say more food and drink were also available to sample.
