a moment over tea and cake

When faced with the reality that life has spiraled in a direction different to the one you'd planned for, not necessarily a bad direction, merely different, one must take stock.
When taking said stock I recommend strong tea and good cake. 

Life for me is puncuated by the high pitched laughter of little boys, worms, cups of tea- hot ones, baby baths, digging dirt, washing up, making dinner, where did I put my tea?, biscuits, laundry, food shopping, decorating, cups of tea - cold ones, and mostly, what cake goes with those memories.

It may not be just cake, maybe donuts, sweet breads, scones, brownies, french toast, pancakes or endless cookie variations. So this is just, my life in cake....

Sometimes sweet, fluffy wonderfulness and other times a slightly burned, congealed mess that you wouldn't dream of telling someone about much less serving up.
My favourite thing to make: chocolate crinkle brownie bites.
My baking nemesis: flapjack.

My way to stay sane: plan ahead, plan for things to go wrong, plan to make cake and plan time just to sit and eat cake.

Enjoy life in all its little moments...
