Winter is proving a tricky little chap.
Summer days are for cream scones, Victoria Sponge, lemon drizzle, apple juice, strawberries.
We know that Winter days demand hot drinks (hot chocolate especially) but what cakes should make the cut?
We have the usual suspects - fruit cake, coffee and walnut, something chocolatey, a sturdy flapjack - but have also tried to introduce new offerings.
With mixed results.
The cranberry topped shortbread is delicious but not popular (except with me and Annie), the ginger florentine isn’t gingery enough for ginger lovers and too gingery for those who aren’t partial. Mince pies have done well enough but surely we can’t serve them in January?
Perhaps we should make a big apple crumble and serve it with custard.
Or perhaps we shouldn’t try to vary the cakes so much and stick to the obvious.
An afterthought about the weekend, which wasn’t warm but was dry.
We sold quite a lot of ice cream.
Children eat ice cream all year round.
