The latest edition of Country Kitchen is now out and contains my four cake recipes! It is funny seeing your own recipes in print and I couldn't quite believe they were my cakes that had been photographed in our house! This is the gingerbread man cake that I usually make if I don't have much time and need to russle up a children's cake quickly. The cake is covered in a simple chocolate ganache (200grams dark chocolate, 50grams salted butter 3 tbsp double cream melted in the microwave for 1 minute, stir and leave to cool slightly) and then decorated with gingerbread men and smarties. The gingerbread men for this cake were bought from the supermarket - if you had time you could make your own. You could add another tier or two for a larger party. So quick and easy but I think the end result is quite respectable!

ReplyDeleteThank god I am coming over to the UK in a couple of weeks' time so should finally be able to get this magazine!
I've had my issue for a couple of weeks now and thought all your cakes looked lovely. I am planning on making one or two, or maybe even three real soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Hannah - I went to look for it this morning but couldn't find it at our WH Smith. Is it usually available there? I am going to Germany for a few days - hope I can get it at the airport.
ReplyDeleteHi Rita
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post - WHSmiths do usually have it - hopefully they will at the airport. Have fun in Germany and eat lots of Kuchen for me! As for turning purple - my mind turned instantly to Violet Beauregard in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.....arrrhhhh
Erica - have a good trip to the UK - hope you manage to find a copy. if not let me know and I will send one as I have a few spare.
Happy baking Marie!
Thank you Hannah, that is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI will have a look but if I can't find it, I will let you know. Thank you again!
