Cake on my mind

I have been thinking about cake all day today!

Lia's fourth and Mum's 60th birthdays are both coming up, so I have a couple of ideas for their cakes and I even ordered something to make them on eBay today.

I can't wait for Masterchef tonight, Adriano Zumbo is on. I wonder what he'll make them cook, we already know it will include macarons in some way. His creations have so many elements to them, some of the techniques are quite simple, but the whole thing is complicated by the sheer intricacy and scale of the whole thing.

I have a recipe in my head for a macaron I haven't seen anyone do before so maybe I'll attempt that this weekend.

The farmers markets are on too so Lia and I might go and grab a few things and have a cook up this weekend. I can do virtually all my shopping there, I just love it!

I think I need to make a bucket list... you know, of things I want to do? Visit Zumbo, do a course at Planet Cake, visit Carlo's Bakery in New Jersey (Cake Boss) not to mention all the other chefs, cake decorators and bakeries, restaurants, destinations - I want to visit every continent, 3 down, how many to go? 4? That's not enough!


I have so much going on in my head - can you tell? And not just cake stuff! I also have my family, work, my running goals, study, and the list goes on.

Phew!

I love cake
