Cake?

Grey and damp weather today is not inviting me to get out of bed. I am aware that I have people coming tomorrow so yesterday I decided to bake...and found that I had several ingredients missing and it was too late to start ordering them so I looked for a site that sold cakes...ready baked ones...and I found one. It felt very strange ordering something Ive always made myself but it will arrive today as opposed to several ingredients arriving next week. Cheating at baking has never been my thing but this time I felt almost liberated...and I will cerainly not make a habit of this but right now it feels good. I love the smell of freshly baked cake usually but this will have to do. I will not be claiming that I have made it myself but I am glad to have found this site ..... having cake to bring out for passing guests will make it feel more normal during this period when nothing is normal. So buying a ready made cake doesnt feel like cheating...I just hope it arrives in one piece. ... offering crumbs wouldnt feel good either!

I just saw some pictures of tea cakes baked by one of my grand daughters, lovely and looking very tasty. She did it for a birthday party for some of her former school friends, just about to return to uni, as is she. They met in her Mum's garden, suitably spaced out and I am told it was a lively occasion.

Talented grand children are a blessing, as are those who make and sell cakes, not everyone is blessed with baking skills. Certainly not me.
