These autumn days pull me back to baking after hot summer days of beer and barbecues.  Tom and I pulled forces to bake an afternoon tea for my brother who stopped by.  Homemade bread, red velvet cupcakes, and ginger tiffin cake, all delicious if I do say so!  Just the right start to getting our baking mojo back.  Tom’s bread gets tastier every week, and I’ve got a growing list of things to bake next: apple crumble bars, cranberry flapjacks, white chocolate brownies, and a proper Victoria sponge (can you believe, I’ve never made one!)  Grey days are delicious when they bring you back to simple pleasures.
