I am feeling sorry for myself. I have been in bed poorly most of the weekend with a chest infection but am on the mend again. So much for wildly celebrating my book release!!! I also had three cakes to make this weekend - two birthday cakes and a 50 year celebration of Margaret living in our village. This was a gluten free chocolate cake for Lucy who loves Reindeer. Not the best icing in the world but I had a valid excuse! Anyway Lucy loved her cake. The Gluten free cake (recipe is in my book!!!!) was sandwiched in two layers with Damson cream and buttermilk buttercream which went well with the dark chocolate. Lucy's partner David had taken her away for a surprise weekend to Wells where we went last weekend and she had a lovely time flying the kite we bought her (a 2.5m long cat kite!) on the beach. Happy Birthday Lucy xxx
