I love baking

I can't believe I have been sat on the floor in the kitchen staring at my cake in the oven ... just like they do on the Great British Bake Off! Having said that it was worth it as I'm delighted with the result. I have just baked a chocolate and orange torte with white ganache, which I garnished with kiwi fruit and strawberries, and it is delicious!

It looks good enough to eat doesn't it? I'm going to sit back now and wait for the orders to come flooding in! I need to bake things that I haven't tried before which is why I tried the torte, and my next challenge is going to be chocolate truffles so watch this space!

The arty overhead view can be seen above ... although it doesn't look like this now because David and I have just had a slither, well, maybe it was a little bit more than a slither! By this time tomorrow I expect it to have disappeared and I have a feeling that some of my sisters may be calling around for a slice.
