A classic jam and buttercream sponge. With homemade bramble jelly (foraged locally) and real buttercream. The sponge has a hint of vanilla because I embed vanilla pods into my caster sugar jar. It will be going to Husb’s Life Drawing group tomorrow.

Craft And Cake
Today, like yesterday, was another day of craft and cake.

I recently started thinking about the Hafod tip in Swansea which was opposite my bedroom window for much of my childhood. And looming above it in the distance was the equally black and ruinedContinue reading “The Collage, The Tip And The Cake”

It flows soContinue reading “Messing About With Gouache And Buttercream”
