Almond Slices

Today's treat is Almond Slices, a very difficult one for Nigel to get out of the house.  There was much opposition from  our daughter, Laura. 

Unless I hear, via the blog (www.ratemycake.blogspot.com) that you are in the office next week, there will be no baking for three weeks due to holidays.

Remember to visit the blog and leave a comment.  Visiting the blog is the only way to request your favourite!

Enjoy!

Carrot Cake

First things first!  Just because there is no Poll does not mean that you are unable to vote or comment, please give me feedback by leaving a comment on the blog (click where it says "cookie crumbs"), remember, if you request it, I may just bake it!

This week's cake is a carrot cake with orange icing.  It  is now becoming very difficult for Nigel to smuggle cake out of the house without meeting objections from our daughter (and our son when he finds out!).  As Nigel is apparently not allowed to leave the office with anything but an empty cake box, the cake either has to incur LAT (that is Laura Added Tax) before departure, or I have to bake two cakes (as I did yesterday).

Enjoy!

Strawberry Rhubarb Coffee cake

First of all, from now on there will be no voting section as I understand that there are difficulties with this. Having said that, it does not mean that you will be unable to vote. Leave a comment on the blog.

Although Elisa did request that she was the 'lucky blogger' this week there was no mention of what she would like so, technically there is no 'lucky blogger', although I do know what Elisa likes and therefore have made a Strawberry Rhubarb Coffee cake (does not contain coffee!).

I dare say that Elisa will be popping in at the Holehouse residence from time to time for cake.

Enjoy!
