Yesterday I spent the better part of the day in my apron baking.
I had a lovely ol' time to myself listening to music (MGMT, Newton Faulkner and REM if you are curious) and making a floury mess.

Scrummy yummy cupcakes, a few topped with lime buttercream and sprinkled with coconut.

Bread to go with dinner.
I love baking bread but my rubbishy wrists hate it, particularly after making pizza dough the night before. I use Jamie O recipes (after trying many others) but think I will be trying out some Baker Boys ones soon, love them! Realized I love a man dusted in flour, who knew?My Biscuits were playing happily, Mr Biscuit was maintaining his friendship with his guitar and I was in my lovely kitchen baking. Happy day!

There's rarely a week goes by that I don't regret selling my Kitchen Aid mixer (sold to fund starting up a new business that failed)

Nicky - too sad!!!
Sounds like a perfect day, and your cupcakes and bread look amazing!
ReplyDeleteLime buttercream sounds special, and the bread plaits look so professional.
I too have heard tell of a No Knead method - think it was mentioned 24corners blogspot, along with a wonderfil soup, but I never got round to checking the link - my blog has her link in my sidebar.

My Mum was a Cordon Blue qualified chef. My Uncle owned and ran his own bakery/shop for over 50 years. Me? I bought a bread machine and get the OH to bung the ingredients in it, because His bread is still better than mine! :-D The plaited bread looks wonderful and so takes me back to Harvest Festivals when Uncle would make special shaped loaves.
