Better late than never! I wrote this post a few weeks ago but haven't got round to adding the photos yet so it's been sat waiting...I've had enough now though so here goes...
It was week two of the Big Brew last week and I've been busy in the kitchen again. I decided on a bit of a teapot theme and spent a good few hours creating sugarpaste teapots to go on top of some cupcakes. And then another hour or two baking and decorating said cupcakes.
That was going to be all I baked for week 2, however, as I was pottering about the house, doing some jobs and getting ready to head out to see some friends, I glanced out of window to see white stuff falling from the sky. SNOW!!! We weren't forecast snow...it was only supposed to rain not snow! It looked so cold and horrible out there that we decided to abandon plans of heading out, stuck the kettle and the heating on and settled down for an afternoon in. G had some homework to do so I headed to the kitchen to bake some biscuits. Digging about in my tin of cutters (well, my 2 tins of cutter) I found one shaped like a teapot. I have no idea when it appeared or where it came from as I've never made teapot biscuits before, but it has now been used for a very good cause.
I took my baking into work on the Tuesday and, as on previous occasions it didn't last very long at all!
And by Friday when we counted up our pennies, our team had raised over £80 for Fairtrade Fortnight's Big Brew. Not bad for some tea and cake!
