My son, he made a cake at college today
a glorious Victoria sandwich with is now on display
With it's fluffy sponge and tasty jam
ingredients were measured to the nearest gram

I've never seen so much sugar, butter and flour
I packed it all in tubs and made a big tall tower
An extra bag was needed with all this strife
God bless the Tesco bag for life

I packed the eggs by wrapping them in kitchen roll
well they were going out on a bumpy stroll
I wondered if they would get there without a crack
it seems they did as a cake came back

It was very yummy
yummy in my tummy
The best cake I've ever tasted
see my son, those ingredients certainly were not wasted

🍰🍰🍰


Thank you for reading today.

Join me again tomorrow for 
Free From Friday

but for now

Take care

To be a Baker on Bake Off

​I'd like to be a baker on Bake Off
I'd like a stopper I could really show off
My cake it would be fine
with lemon and a hint of lime
Must be great to be a baker on Bake Off


My pastry would probably not bake
I'd pipe icing that would turn into a lake
No Hollywood handshake for you
just a quizzical look from our Pru
I better not even think about going on Bake Off


I really wouldn't know where to start
to bake a prize winning tart
My ingredients would go everywhere
flour and sugar mixed in with my hair
I've a feeling I may not be on Bake Off


I don't know if I'd like the technical bit
with vague instructions that don't really fit
I'd get in a muddle
and need a great big cuddle
I'll leave the Bake Off for now


I admire their patience and desire
as they rush around and perspire
A passion with a glimmer
oh who will be the winner
of The Great British Bake Off 2017


Good luck bakers!!

Whatever did happen to my diet?

Lemon Drizzle Cake, gorgeous eh? I have not got that function built into my brain that says 'no Sue from the Brew, you cannot eat that because you are on a diet'. I get a bit excited when I see gluten free as well as it can be rare sometimes and of course you all need to know about this cake. It's research at the end of the day really, isn't it? Please say yes. 

My verse for today is about this naughty adventure I went on with the cake! Enjoy.....

What ever did happen to my diet?

The cake it did fall in my gob
it was something I just could not stop
The lemon was drizzlin'
my mouth was a sizzlin'
What ever did happen to my diet?


A latte to accompany my cake
a rest, a sit-down, take a break
All frothy and milky
and positively silky
Whatever did happen to my diet?


I looked at the cake and it said
'I can see ya gal who likes to be fed'
I dug in my fork
cut cakes don't really talk
Whatever did happen to my diet?

It really tasted so good
I am so fond of a pud
I lose my concentration 
give in to the temptation
Whatever did happen to my diet?


Calories galore but there I sat
cake is great when you're having a chat
There's always an excuse
for all this abuse
What ever did happen to my diet?

So back on the plan I must go
eliminate cakes and gateaux 
Oh it just stinks
Mr Kipling will be gutted me thinks
Whatever will happen with my diet?


I'm off to have a serious word with myself and maybe sit on the naughty step or go out for more cake, ha ha oops!

Thanks for reading. I will be back tomorrow for Free from Friday so join me then.

​Take care for now........
