Happy Valentines Day Everyone 
My flowers!
I made a Swiss Roll inspired by Simone the other weekAs you see not the best specimen in the world
but I expect it will taste nice!
I forgot to trim the edges and for some
I forgot to trim the edges and for some
reason the mixture didn't spread properly
and that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
I always remember making a Swiss Roll in Domestic Science at school, and the teacher sending me with a message to some other teacher, then on my return to the classroom got told off for not being there to take my cake out of the oven! When I said that she had sent me on a message her answer was well you should have said your cake was in the oven, well somehow I don't think she would have wanted to say that as that would have been classed as being cheeky!
I also made some Macaroons
my recipe and they are like almond flavoured meringues
Pre Heat oven to
17o degrees C or 325 degrees F or Gas 3
2 egg whites whisked till white and and stiff
add 3 1/2oz sugar and continue whisking till stiff
mix together 1/2oz sugar and 3oz ground Almonds together
then fold into the mixture also adding
a few drops of Almond Essence.
Cherries optional

Hi Julie! Happy Valentine's Day to you and Alex! xxxx
ReplyDeleteWell done on the swiss roll! I bet it would be nice with custard! The macaroons look delicious too.
ReplyDeleteHi, I've just found your blog via Sal's Snippets. I love the cakes and the quilt in your previous post looks amazing! Sue XX
ReplyDeleteI'd love a slice of your swiss roll.
ReplyDeleteTeachers - pah! I remember my domestic science teacher writing RHUBHARB on the blackboard. I spoke up and was told I was wrong, felt very humiliated (esp since none of my classmates had a clue how to spell it), so at end of class, as I left, I licked my finger and wiped out the second H. She saw me, dragged me back and gave me a detention.
Thankfully my bright boy is spared all of that by not going to school.
Anyway, where was I, oh yes, I love anything almondy, so those macaroons are a must this week.

Yum yum - I've always been put off making a swiss roll as I've worried about rolling it up and then it splitting! Yours looks great.
