It was DD’s birthday this week, so I asked her what kind of birthday cake she wanted. Son Number One had a brief flirtation with a glamorous new creation from Mary Berry, complete with cream-cheese frosting for his recent birthday, but DD wanted the usual double-chocolate cake. I made it, and we did the whole candle bit – very satisfying, in every meaning of the word.
One of DD’s presents was the DVD of The Hobbit. I sat through the whole film trying to remember where I’d seen “Kili” before – of course, it was Aidan Turner, who was in Being Human a few years ago.
This week, I’m offering the chocolate birthday cake recipe free for new subscribers to my newsletter. The next edition of that will be out in May – to sign up, just email me at christinahollis@hotmail.co.uk with the word “Subscribe” in the subject line.
