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
