Today is cold! I got in my car to take Sacha to the station this morning and the temperature outside was -9 C - I don't think I ever remember it being -9 here! Luckily our heating is now fixed (we tragically ran out of oil on Valentine's Day which put an end to my romantic dinner and I was forced to have a hot water bottle in my office - it was THAT cold!) so I can now enjoy the frosty scenes outside from the warmth of my office. Today I have the photographer coming to take photos for 4 articles - a lot of baking happened yesterday! My favourites are these little flower pot cakes which I made by chance with a bit of left over cake batter,
just to see if they would work. I think these would make a wonderful wedding cake for garden lovers, served in tiers with different coloured flowers!

Wow, how cool is that. Really pretty Hannah! You must have been soooo cold!! The frost was really pretty this morning.
ReplyDeleteLove days like this . Not sure it was that cold in Berkshire !!! But sunrise was magical . Susan
ReplyDeleteIron hard gound this morning! I didn't check the temperature but it looked very chilly. Oh my goodness Hannah!!!! no heating at the coldest time of year! I've invested in a pair of Celtic Sheepskin house boots - my brain only works when my toes are cosy!
ReplyDeleteI love those little flower pot cakes - a Victorian conservatory iron plant stand full of flower pot cakes for everyone would be a gorgeous Wedding or Anniversary Cake idea. Especially if you held the reception in an orangery - what fun!

Those flower pots are adorable - what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI almost hate to say this, but it was 62F (about 16C) this morning when I took my daughter to rehearsal. This is unusually warm for the Northeast in February...but I am not complaining :)
That is cold! Thank god I was on a nice warm underground train! It's not often you hear people raving about having a cosy commute!
ReplyDeleteYour little pots are so sweet. Mum would adore them. How did the photography go?
I think you are right about those flower pot cakes. They would make fabulous little wedding cakes for a garden lover! It's pretty cold here today as well. The boiler broke down in the big house yesterday and we were all freezing at work, even for me in the kitchen as unfortunately yesterday the AGA decided to shut down as well!
