One of our member’s, Richard, tried their hand at baking this week (Thursday 30th July) and cooked what Project Day Leader Gemma Adams has described as “the yummiest cake she has ever eaten.” Coming from someone famous for their sweet tooth, that is quite the compliment!
So eager was Richard to don his oven mitts, he rang first thing to see if he could get started immediately. It was, however, far closer to breakfast than lunch time!
With support from volunteers Mike and Alan (who were running the Kitchen) Richard started his culinary masterpiece just after the last curry of the day was dished out, leaving it ready to be served during our regular ‘Tea and Talk’ session — a session that proved so popular, the cake vanished in seconds and nobody got a picture of the finished product as a result!
My personal excuse is, it’s difficult to take photographs in between bites of delicatessen. But there’s always next time of course. Inspired by the oven hot reception of his efforts, Richard is already talking about the next challenge. A bake off perhaps? Making everyone a winner!
