I've been terribly busy since my last post, organising my coffee morning event for Macmillan Cancer Support World's Biggest Coffee Morning, which I'm pleased to say, went very well indeed!
Phew!!!
I raised £128.55 from coffee and cupcake sales, my cake stall and the raffle prize draw and donations, and in the process, had a very good time.
It's been a great deal of work, planning composing, writing, posting, putting up my event notices and delivering my invitations; not to mention cooking, which took up twelve hours of constant cooking, on Friday, to produce a storm of cakes and cookies, biscuits and my very special prize draw Boston Cream Pie.
This delicious concoction is not a pie but the most moist and tender sponge cake, sandwiched together with pastry cream and then iced with a dark chocolate ganache - totally scrummy.
And today, I've posted all my thank you letters, put all my cooking pans and dishes away and banked the proceeds.
This evening, I've been to my book club meeting. It's been a very long and busy day.
So, I shall tell you more later, for now I'm retiring; tomorrow it's back to the painting and decorating, the ironing and laundry and all the other general chores one has to do! But we're going out for dinner tomorrow evening, which will be fun.
So farewell for now
Daisy
