So, who wants to help ... to cower in the cellar?

Tasteful, dere Sparrer, tasteful…
And coming from me, that’s the blind leading the blind or the pot calling the kettle Moglet or something :- )

Coffee/Walnut Cake is, possibly, my favourite

I hope that the coffee flavour is strong

You will get no competition from me, dere. While I’m sure Twellsy’s coffee & walnut is among the finest flowers of the genre, I cannot abide the stuff. A good friend will nearly kill for it (indeed, she might actually have done: they breed 'em tough in Donegal) and I got very good at ferreting out sources for it in the vicinity of the canal…

An orange & lemon cake, otoh…

Hedgers doesn’t like the coffee, and I don’t like the walnut, so you are safe from us as well.

'lergic to walnut. Much as I love them. My tongue goes thick and a bit numb. It’s that papery coating over the nut apparently.

Plain buns of the butterfly genre are now cooling

I hope that everyone can enjoy at least one of my bakes

Coffee and walnut has an espresso that fights back as flavouring

Orange and lemon was ponging the house with the grated zest used as flavouring

The chocolate cake has a grown up dark cocoa powder as flavour (and loads of it)

The butterfly buns will be just plain flavour but pretty

They tried to climb out of the bun cases in the oven so are really light sponge buns

I had a drama at lunchtime

I had ordered some M&S flowers for my mother

They were delivered by

Yodel

To the porch of a nursing home

I called the home and thankfully they were found and given to my mother

But of all firms Yodel???

M&S used to be reliable dependable florists
