Yay... my idol! :)

Which Celebrity Baker/Cook/Chef are you most like?

Nigela Lawson You consider yourself an "eater" rather than a serious chef, baker or cook. You like the indulgent side of baking. You're often found in the kitchen licking the bowl, browsing dessert recipe books, and dreaming about chocolate and cream. You are flirtatious with your recipes, you like to "sexup" a favourite, by putting your own spin recipes. Friends like your baking because it's adventurous and always has an entertaining story to go with it.

Naughty & Nice

This was for a workmate's  21st, he's a lovely guy and always enjoys my baking so I decided to make something special to take to his surprise afternoon tea.
Being January, many of us at work are trying to stick to healthy eating either as New Year resolutions or in a bid to drop the extra holiday weight...  because of this I've been doing very little baking for work. It's also the reason I decided to try a healthier type of recipe - a chocolate courgette cake, which while incredibly moist & tasty is fairly low in fat & sugar content. As for the presentation, I've long admired the kitkat cakes I've seen on baking blogs, they are often topped with M&Ms... which believe me, is very appealing!! But in the spirit of healthier options I went for fresh fruit on tip to give the staff a blend of naughty & nice. It was an easy but effective option which was well received.
