happy world baking day

Today is World Baking Day. If you haven't already, get out your spatula and get going with something delicious!!

We have a family lunch later and so I have tried this recipe for Pear spice cake with a walnut praline topping from the wonderful Joy the Baker. I hope it is going to turn out as good as it looks in her pics! The batter tasted delicious. It is in the oven now!

My Gran, who just celebrated her 90th birthday, is still a wonderful baker and I often think of her when I am in the kitchen. Along with a real talent for baking, I believe it is her patience and the real love she puts into everything she bakes, that makes her kitchen treats extra-scrummy!

Good luck in your baking endeavours today and everyday.

Thank you Kate!

A red lipstick that is a great shade, stays put and even smells good. I love the new Rimmel Kate lipsticks. I have been wearing shade 11.
