Yesterday was a hard day; I was absolutely flat out at work and by the time I eventually got home there was no way that I was going out to make Christmas cards :( I had dinner of a mars bar and some peanut M and Ms and went to bed at 9.15. I got up in the middle of the night to have cake as I was hungry and there wasn't anything else that didn't require cooking. This is the cake:
It's an apple, pecan, gingerbread cake, and I spotted the recipe here.
I have a strong belief in the healing properties of cake. Today has been far better, I managed coffee and tea breaks, had lunch with a friend (and bought her flowers to cheer her up), I've eaten healthily and got in my 5 a day (although I know I really should have had 10), and I fleetingly met Yvann from Reading Fuelled By Tea. It's also the final of the Great British Bake Off tonight - I have sent Mr W out to his cycling training session so that I can concentrate on it properly. It is a busy week though, so please bear with me on the posting front!
I can imagine how baking/eating cake could help heal a little. I am glad today was better.
ReplyDeleteI can certainly see how that cake would make everything better. It looks delicious! Best of luck with the rest of your busy week.
ReplyDeleteWhat will I do on Tuesday night now?! The Great British Bake Off became quite addictive and I'm now keen to get back to baking my own things. I was glad that Jo won.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of the dark chocolate and marmalade cake on your list.
Here here to cake making everything better. Hope the week continues to improve.
