Two days...

...two cakes. Have been on a bit of a baking spree, the other week I made some scones, cause I felt like it, and then the last few days I got the urge again. This time I had a very good excuse, a birthday! And there happened to be a 'foolproof' cake book by none other than Mary Berry. So I thought i'd try the one that I thought most exciting and yummy. Turned out that this was the hokey pokey coffee cake, in memory of NZ, which i'm kinda missing right now.

So the first cake, a gift for Anne for her birthday. It was very scrummy, definitely make that one again!

The second an 'American' apple and apricot cake, I guess this could be in memory of my brother, James, he's in the states for 2 months. Have yet to try this one as its for a bring and share lunch. I managed to take the pictures before the centre of the cake took a turn for the worst, it caved in a little, but i was reassured, cakes with alot of apple do this alot, I guess the apple gets quite soggy! anyways...maybe i'll get up to some more baking this week as the job hunting continues!
