This week Eilidh and Rachel, two friends from uni days, came to stay. We went to St Albans, Hampton Court Palace and Spitalfields and went to The Rex cinema in Berkhamsted(http://therexberkhamsted.com/) where we saw ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ which was surprisingly good fun! Here are some photos…

There is nothing better than having some friends to stay on which you can do some cake experimentation! Sadly, I have to report that the Swiss meringue buttercream icing was not a great success – far too dense and buttery and nothing to counteract the sweetness of the sugar. This is the site where I got the original idea from http://sweetapolita.com/2011/04/swiss-meringue-buttercream-demystified/ . This is a special cake so I want something beyond the normal cream cheese/ buttercream that I make. I feel some more experimentation coming on! Although this is obviously not keeping the cake under wraps until I reveal the final recipe, I felt I had to share some of the almost disasters as well as the finished products with you.
