I like pink, I do ...



I thought I would share with you a shot of my birthday cake from a couple of week back.  Not home baked, I am afraid, but ordered via the recently discovered Patisserie Valerie website.  This enabled me to choose my filling of vanilla sponge, fresh cream and fruit filling.  And, of course, it doesn't matter if you are three or somewhat older, pink is the order of the day.

  9. On a recent visit to where I grew up in London I found a Hummingbird Bakery on the residential street where I lived. It used to be a Polish delicatessen. A real old fashioned one, where the old boys used to sit and pass the time of day. How times have changed.
