Birthday Cake Turkish Style
February saw Andrew's birthday roll around and I wracked my brains to try and top last year. (Climbing wall with climbers, will have to find pic to post). Anyhow another of his loves is turkish delight, so had this bright idea to make a box of sponge delight. How hard could it be. Well the yellow cake, not obvious on photo worked fine, but the pink didn't happen. FYI pink food colouring (liquid type) and sponge cake don't mix. No matter how much I put in and how bright it looked, when it emerged from the oven it just looked grey. Despite this Andrew seemed thrilled.
