I decided to bake this month's birthday cake for work instead of buying it. As one staff member who is dairy intolerant, had a birthday during the month, this presented a small challenge. I could find a couple of recipes for dairy free cakes, but couldn't think of any icings that would be dairy free but still taste good. After finding a recipe for and making an almond meal and orange cake, I was left with some cooked pureed orange which made a wonderful addition to a plain sugar syrup to pour over the cake. Problem solved!
Welcome to my 2012 project, which for this year is a Project 366! My aim for my page is to publish one photo everyday that depicts what is happening in my life. The idea is to keep this as a record, later in printed form, to enjoy years down the track.
