A Trifle in a Vase

As you know my neighbour is a florist and regularly delivers bunches of flowers to my front door, perks of his job he says. This week 2 huge bunches of lilies came in a little round vase and so I scrubbed out the glass vase and made a trifle for him and droppped it back. I chopped up a swiss roll, doused it in peach schnapps for want of a better liquer and added a mountain of raspberries and custard.

Oooh, I want a florist neighbour too! So thoughtful of him to bring you flowers, and equally thoughtful of you to make the trifle for him :-) Such a great way to re-purpose the vase :-)

Lemon Syrup Cake I think if there was a survey amongst the cake eaters and cake lovers of this world that the classic lemon syrup cake would easily be in the top 10, if not the top 5. A buttery cake doused in lemon syrup is hard to go past. My mother made it always in a loaf shape. I always make mine in a shallow oblong pan. But I have method in my madness as with my way more cake gets to soak up the syrup and for me that very moist and lemony bottom layer of cake is the best bit...

Red Velvet to Die For During the week I cam home to the above luscious cake. Red Velvet with a slathering of cream cheese style frosting atop and in the middle and what's more it was in a heart shape. Made by a clever cooking daughter !! It had the most even and moist texture, perfect crumb I think baking afficionodos would say !! The only afficionados here are the ones who have perfected the art of tasting and chomping and they were in heaven.
