Just like in Extra Slice - the Great British Bake Off review show with Jo Brand, post pictures of your triumphs and tribulations in your baking.

These St Lucia buns are not perfect, but they taste good and I am counting them as a triumph because they are made with my own home grown saffron.



What they should look like and the recipe here :

Neighbours coming over for coffee in the morning so it's St Clements drizzle cake with St Clements curd to go in, and because they love mince pies and I made too much mincemeat, a mincemeat slice. As the oven was on, bread made a day early (wild, I am!)

Tosca your neighbours will be beaming when they see that lot.  The bread looks good as well

They've gone home all sugared up for the day, just how they like it. And with a bag full of goodies!

The curd is yum...well. I had to try it to see if it was OK for the cake.
