The Portsmouth to St Malo crossing is around ten hours and arrives in port at 8am French time so you get more sleep and do less driving. It’s a win win situation.

Disney Siamese Cats on Marzipan Fruit Cake
Some weeks ago, a friend requested a moist fruit birthday cake covered in slabs of marzipan for a Siamese cat loving relative. I hadn’t made fruit cake for years but remembered it being easy enough. However when choosing a recipe I found many that required days of steeping fruit in alcohol. Fortunately Nigella Lawson’s […]

Mini Chocolate Meringues Dessert
As a slack Daring Baker of late, I’m surprised I’ve not been kicked out. I keep having other cakes due on the 27th when we post our challenges and have not been organised enough to get DB finished and written up first. The March and April challenges didn’t inspire me and I was away […]
