And of course, I couldn't resist making things to say goodbye.
This was the leaving cake I made for the first job. It has a fruit-cake on the bottom tier and vanilla sponge on the top. It was my first attempt at a tiered cake so I'm really pleased with it.
I made a selection of nibbles when I left my other job, including...
Chocolate orange macaroons. Again, my first attempt and whilst they were a bit overcooked, they tasted great.
Open-heart savouries - tomato and cream cheese on puff pastry. I've stolen this recipe from my friend Rose who made me these for my birthday one year. I love making them.
Profiteroles. My first attempt at choux pastry and honestly, what's all the fuss about? (Kidding, kidding). These are as monstrous as they look and I think I've lose points on Masterchef for not being dainty enough. =)
