PINK cakes

Yesterday I suggested to Ruth that we should make a cheesecake (anyone who knows me from the Ravelry Games forum will not be surprised – I’ve demonstrated something of an obsession there… ). She agreed, provided it could have pink icing. When I explained that cheesecakes don’t have icing she was extremely unimpressed. Since “extremely unimpressed” is something of a forte with Ruth, and the whole point had been to find something to do together, I conceded and we made fairy cakes with pink icing. Except that for once I had a brainwave, and instead of using food colouring I found some berries in the freezer, defrosted a handful and used those instead. The resulting icing was PINK (and delicious)

Oh, and I have an FO to report – I finally made myself a felted bag with SWTC Karaoke (left over from my Sunrise Circle Jacket):

The flowers are made with merino from Texere that I spun up myself.

oooh, yum! Those cakes look extremely tasty! And fab idea with the icing (I got in a bit of a sticky mess last night at Guides doing Confectioners’ Badge!!).

cakes look yummy (do you have a gluten-free recipe for fairy cakes?) and the bag is truly gorgeous. I love the floral trim.
