Between March and November 2012, I challenged myself to bake a different cake/biscuit from Marian
Keyes' book, Saved By Cake each month. I was a beginner at baking and used the
same recipes over and over again so I thought it would be nice to try something new. I took photos and posted them on here each month - the good, the bad and the ugly.

But the joint winners were:
I've loved using my Saved By Cake book and although some of the recipes sound or look daunting for a beginner, the recipes are very straight forward. I particularly enjoyed the humour from Marian Keyes within the recipes, which made the recipes seem fun rather than complicated. I will definitely continue to bake using Saved By Cake - both the recipes I have already tried and new ones I haven't had a go at yet.

The rocky road cake looks delicious - I still need to try that one! What cake is the first one from the left in the second row? That looks good too!
ReplyDeleteAh, that's supposed to be millionaire's shortbread. My one true disaster. There wasn't a caramel layer because I burnt it to smithereens and the shortbread wasn't quite cooked through. I added sprinkles to compensate but it was pretty inedible!
DeleteI definitely must buy this book! It all looks great :))
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love the book as the recipes are so easy to follow. I'd definitely recommend it.
ReplyDeleteBlack hole chocolate cheesecake? I can only imagine the splendor!
ReplyDeleteI was very proud of my chocolate cheesecake. It's really dense so a very small piece is enough (I know, it defies the logic of cake but true).
DeleteOh wow those look and sound sinfully delicious. :-D
ReplyDeleteThey were delicious (apart from the failed Millionaire's Shortbread but that was entirely my fault).
