The Mission

My name is Bridie, and I am a 27 year old female who wishes to share with you her life in cakes.

The trouble with cake is that it doesn't last very long, and when you have slaved over a hot stove and turned your kitchen into a bomb site only to have crumbs left as evidence, you start to wonder....if a cake gets eaten in a kitchen, and no one sees it, was it really baked?

From now on, I'm going to make a fuss about my baking, and make every week a tea party. I'm going to prove you can have your cake and eat it. The aim is to bake something different each week and give you a taste of the creations via this blog. Armed with my wooden spoon in one hand and an oven glove in the other, I am embarking on a journey that will take me to the final frontier of sugary delights. From the perils of Baked Alaska, to the glory of a Manchester Tart - who knows where this quest will lead! Join me to find out 'What Bridie Baked'....

Cake 14 - Chocolate Celebration Cake


Hello, and welcome to a very very tired edition of ‘What Bridie Baked.’ This week’s blog is just a short one, on the basis that I am absolutely shattered from a bike ride in the sun. I am currently melting on the sofa with a towel on my head, feeling like sleep is imminent! Tobey has just made me a coffee, and I am hoping I can muster up the energy to put a brush through my barnet before my hair dries and I look like Russell Brand.

I may be tired, but there was no way I could refrain from telling you about my fabulous chocolate cake, which was a belated father’s day gift for Tobey’s Dad. The sponge was rich and choclately, and I covered the top, sides, and centre of the cake with chocolate butter cream. I was pleased with the swirly design, which I did with my new Ikea piping bag.

I managed to save the cake from the jaws of Tobey, and it made it all the way to his parents house on Tuesday evening, before he managed to wangle a piece off his Dad.

I’ll try to be wittier next week, when I have regained my strength!

Don’t forget to rate my apron if you haven’t already done so! Just leave your mark out of 10 on here, or on facebook.
