Keeping Promises

Text: CC Bakes


Since my name is CC Bakes, I’ve got a lot to live up to. So I made a pledge to BAKE more, perfect some cake recipes and of course post sweeties here. I mentioned the Bourke Street Bakery Cookbook a few months back, which I tip my hat to, it is truly the Ultimate Baking Companion as it professes. So, in the name of keeping promises, this week I post a most delicious carrot cake from their collection. This is such a great recipe, if I lived in Sydney I’d try and live near this place so I could eat it every day.

Then in the name of the season, I took my hand to a Christmas cake (pictured). I thought, for my first Kiwi Christmas I would bear the gift of a dense fruit cake, but alas I don’t think customs will let me cross the water to the long white cloud with it. Nevertheless, I made the cake, and thought I could give it to some other fruit cake loving soul. This is one of Karen Martini’s.

Also in the baking department this week. I offer hand written notes on how to bake fine gingerbread men, which I also made. Gosh, what a good housewife I will make.

Email me for any of the above mentioned recipes.

Another delicious taste of what comes every Wednesday from CC Bakes.
