I had a WI meeting coming up and needed to provide a cake for the committee to enjoy while they have their teas and coffees.
I decided on my trusty Victoria Sponge cake. Well the ladies really enjoyed it, so they have now had both my Chocolate Cake and Victoria Sponge now, so I need to think of what to do different for them next time.
I was also approached to price up for a Christmas Fruit Cake, fully iced. Well I priced up all the ingredients and was a bit shocked when my ingredients alone came out to the price that you can pay in Marks and Spencer's and this was without any profit at all for me. I decided to explain to the lady that unfortunately a Christmas Fruit cake is not viable for me to make and told her to get hers from M&S.
I have nothing in the pipeline at the moment, so will keep practising my baking.
