I also used to love baking but now find it more of a chore unless I'm feeling particularly inspired. Cakes produced in the past include: two wedding cakes, numerous birthday cakes/cupcakes for my sister and husband and occasional cheesecakes (I know not really baking but still). Some were great successes, others (like the sushi cake) not so great but the effort and love were there... somewhere.
Being on maternity leave means I have to enforce austerity on myself and therefore present giving is minimal if even at all so I have looked at other ways to ensure I don't turn up to a party empty-handed. One of those ways was to bake Biscuiteers inspired biscuits for my friend, a chemistry teacher. I have never been able to get a biscuit recipe just right, it has always required adjustment on my part to make it close to what I would consider perfect, either that or I am reading the recipes wrong but I finally managed to find this recipe on Baking Mad's website and both batches turned out perfectly! I am in no way sponsored by or working for any of the companies affiliated with this website but I wholeheartedly recommend this recipe which made the biscuits almost like shortbread. I can confirm they went down a treat with everyone particularly me who ate almost an entire batch alone! So here are my finished biscuits (sorry about the debris around it), the flasks etc were cut out by hand as I left it too late to order cutters!
If you're going to try the recipe, please let me know how you got on and once they turn out perfectly... you're welcome!
