Forgot to post these this week: Old Fashioned Macaroons (because I had 2 egg whites left from the cheesecake) and Baked Tangerine Cheesecake

[snowdrops]

Both of those looks yummy, I love the update of the diamonds on the macaroons 😊 my grandma used to make them & mould  them in an egg cup

I didn't have any glace cherries... I like the idea of moulding them. Mine were more in the style of "dollop"   

And the cheesecake was a winner on all fronts

Mr S made this today as a surprise, when grandad said it was like a sunflower our little  granddaughter said like on grannies allotment (remembered from September 😊)

Sorry I don’t know how to  fix the link maybe you can Mum, it shows properly when I copy & paste it until I post the reply

Nutella braided tear & share bread , blumenbrot

It just needed the www brackets around the link (2nd icon from the right, bottom row) above the posting box.
Youtube links aren't automatically bracketed by the system any more because that was causing problems.

Thank you, have you got the recipe from it mum?

Anyway, thanks for that, I've seen them fiddle with pastry and Nutella, but the bread is new one to me

Banana cake from this recipe on the main site.

OH went off for a weekend camping leaving 6 bananas in the fruit bowl and I am not a fan of them.  Anyway he is delighted with his cake and it seems to be going down very well

Next time you could also make Banana & Choc chip muffins

You can freeze ripe bananas, in a polybag, in their skins. To use simply thaw and peel - they look unappetizing but are perfect for baking

I found a couple of those posh proving baskets for bread in the sales, so I treated myself to them. Today was the first time I have used them with a white flour sour dough mix.

They turned out beautifully, like loaves bought from some expensive artisan bakery
