seed store cafe

Now that spring is in the air, business is picking up at the Royal Paddocks Allotments' Seed Store Cafe, and I'm back on the baking rota.

This Sunday, I made the Lemon Drizzle Traybake from Mary Berry's Simple Cakes, a very easy and reliable recipe:

But next week, I've volunteered to try a new recipe (the Dutch Apple Cake from Rachel Allen's Bake) so wish me luck!

  1. Do report on the results! I received the Bake! book yesterday as a gift from my friend's cat (for all the feeding and chirpy conversations) and just know I will never be slim again....

    Mary B's lemon drizzle became my daily scourge when I baked for the local deli (briefly - how to take all the joy out of baking!)- it was so popular I thought I'd never be able to look one in the eye again. But I did; I made one last weekend. Never fails, does it.

  5. You have a cafe on your allotments? Wow! We're thinking of putting in a bench for cups of tea but that's as far as it goes ...
