Here's how to create your own fantastic crystal cake stand. A one tier structure would be good to display a cake. Multi tiers would be perfect for a very individual cupcake stand for a wedding, christening or birthday. You could even use it for a floral arrangement or as a tiered fruit bowl!

We had a lovely family Easter, both the children were home plus Bobbin (dog). Alice and I baked, knitted, crocheted, made organza flowers and shopped, a bit of mum and daughter bonding. This is the recipe for the Banana Cake we made for Easter, this recipe is great if you want to use up very ripe bananas. For the topping we melted chocolate then decorated it with chocolate animals and Maltesers.

What a difference a day makes, yesterday I sat in the garden with Daryl chatting, drinking coffee, enjoying the warm sunshine. Today the weather is miserable, time to create some faux sunshine in the form of a lemon drizzle cake, bask in its warm lemony glow!

Carrot Cake (Passion Cake)

I made this cake for Ashley's birthday. It really is the easiest carrot cake recipe. I cut-out the recipe from the Family Circle magazine in 1983. It never fails to please and it's so moist. It will keep for two weeks without the frosting if wrapped in cling film and stored in a tin.
