First Birthday Party!


It was my neighbour's little girls 1st birthday party last weekend!

So I made her a gingerbread heart cake :)

(Recipe from Woman's Weekly 'Muffins and Breads')

Ingredients
350g golden syrup
250ml water
65g brown sugar
250g butter
525g plain flour
1 tsp bicarb
1tsp nutmeg
1tsp cinnamon
1tbsp ground ginger

Method
1. melt golden syrup, water, sugar and butter in large saucepan. Bring to boil, then cool to room temperature.
2. sift the dry ingredients into the melted mixture into batches and stir to combine.
3. Pour mixture into heart shaped silicone tin and bake in moderate oven (I did 175C fan) for 1 and 1/4 hours.

I also made vanilla butter icing to spread on the top. 60g butter, 320g icing sugar, 1 vanilla pod

It was DELICIOUS, it disappeared very quickly!
