jubilee jubilations..

ahhhh, you cant avoid it im afraid!
Lick the Spoon Lemon curd italian meringue cakes in very patriotic union jack cases...

i actually made ALL of the cake from start to finish this time, as usually i get to slope the Italian meringue making duties off to ANother..
BUT today~i was the one who couldnt slope it off to anyone..
Ive learnt how to make the meringue of all meringues today with Kaths help..and even have the knuckle burn bubbles to prove that i did it..

My piping needs a little 'attention'~but i will get better!!

*hurrah for the LONG weekend ~ trying to avoid all jubilee celebrations..in i977 i was a jubilee flower girl, and won first prize in our local Fancy dress parade in FAREHAM*biggin walk*dressed as a flower carring a posy of my dads beautiful roses...happy memoreis then x
