Beep, beep, beepity, beep

by Fernweh with T, posted in Travel

I am back in Delhi, back to the starting point of the tour and it suddenly seems less chaotic now after the last few days in Agra and Varanasi. It even seems less humid too, maybe I’ve gotten used to the heat……doubtful though.

Anyways time to go back to last Saturday morning where we left beautiful Abhaneri by private bus and arrived in Agra. Our hotel, Karan Villas, was on the outskirts of the city but very close to the infamous Taj Mahal. We had the option of getting up to see the Taj at 4.30 for sunrise the next morning or doing it ourselves another time. Claire and I chose to go see it ourselves that afternoon.

Going to the chapel and we’re gonna get married……

by Fernweh with T, posted in Wedding cake

I mentioned a while back how I was asked to make a friends wedding cake and it seemed like my friend’s wedding was aaaaages away, well those months have flown by and the wedding has arrived. As I’ve got previous posts on these recipes I won’t be going into as much detail with the baking process this time. I got the lime and coconut cake recipe from http://www.bbcgoodfood.com, the red velvet cake from the Jamie Oliver website and the chocolate biscuit cake from a friend that I adapted a little. I used http://www.cakebaker.co.uk/baking-tin-size-conversion-calculator.html to convert the ingredients from the original cake tin to what I wanted. I had three fresh cakes to make, a few things waiting in the post that I had ordered but I had a plan.

Bananaaaaaaa…..

by Fernweh with T, posted in Summer

I’ve been pretty lax with the blogging lately, although I have been baking, I just haven’t gotten around to writing about any of it. Today I noticed a couple of bruised bananas in the fruit bowl and I was delighted, not your usual reaction to bruised bananas but if you’ve ever made banana bread/cake you’d understand my rejoicing. I pretty much lived on banana bread when I was travelling around South East Asia two years ago so I love any excuse to make it. I found a recipe in an old recipe book, The Hummingbird Bakery cookbook and set about making some yummy banana loaf.  Continue reading “Bananaaaaaaa…..” →

As I was browsing through this months Delicious magazine I came across a rhubarb recipe, there’s bags upon bags rhubarb in the freezer, the recipe also has oats so I thought that seems nice and healthy. You’ve got one of your five a day, a cereal and plenty of dairy too of course, haha. Continue reading “Oaty, rhubarb streusel cake” →

A little lime, a lotta coconut.

by Fernweh with T, posted in Uncategorized

So I’ve been given another opportunity to make a wedding cake, this time for a friend’s wedding in a few months time. I’m super excited to try out some new recipes and you will get to follow me on the wedding cake journey for the next few months, whoop whoop. So one of the layers that I suggested was a coconut and lime cake, one I’ve never made before, but sure it can’t be that hard, right? Famous last words, I will never learn, haha. I found this recipe on……..yes you guessed it, BBCGoodFood, just can’t beat it.  Continue reading “A little lime, a lotta coconut.” →
