Cakes and things

Brittany here. Tried to figure out how to post here for a long time now. So i'm sharing an account with my sister. Success!

An orange and almond cake i made a while ago. It was SUPER moist. There was an orange syrup that was supposed to accompany it, but i didn't make it.....perhaps i should've, to offset the cutting edge moistness.
MOISTMOISTKAPOW!


My banana cake, which i have altered several times. It started off as banana, honey and pecan cupcakes before i put it in a cake tin and added sultanas, raisins and almond flakes (replacement of pecans) and then switched honey with golden syrup (which works just as well..and not overwhelmingly sweet as honey).
ps. this cake does not contain any butter or eggs. such a clever cake.





Pre-Little Birdy risotto at a lovely Italian place on Degraves Street - Il Tempo?
A lunch i made myself on one of my Wednesdays off from school (which are now extinct).
(L-R) Almond biscuit from a Viet bakery, which tasted like a biscuity-meringue actually, a sandwich filled with French Brie (!!!), tea in a smiley face mug, salad with my first boiled egg (the yolk was runny and delish!)

  1. Looks like the egg was cooked perfectly! I love runny yolk in the middle :)
