The last post I blogged intended for here ended up on my Idle Crafty Happiness blog somehow and I still haven't worked out why. By using a different avenue I hope this ends up where it should on Quarterly Crafternoons- fingers crossed.
A delicious Indian Banana Cake with Yoghurt Frosting found it's way to our cake table during our last gathering back in December and there were many requests for the recipe. It is from a book called 'Bake Your Cake and Eat It Too' by Tamara Milstein. I found it at a local shop years ago and absolutely every single cake I've made from it has been a winner. Most recipes require 250gm of butter, 1 1/2 cups of sugar and up to 6 eggs (what's the point otherwise?) and are divine.
I've been diligently working on our next gathering's workshop items which I will not share with you just yet. There has to be some element of surprise. Lets just say they are quick, easy, inexpensive and fitting for the Easter celebration that will be on us before we know it.
There's also another project I started on the weekend. I've had three items of clothing hanging around for more than a year with the intention of making something hooky with them. The pile of clothes you see are now cut into continuous lengths and are being hooked up into a completely different yet useful item. It's another pressie for my friend Em. I'm getting in early for her birthday this year. It will be on the show and tell table at our gathering on Wednesday March 13. I'll tell you what it's going to be when I see you!
