Place: Cake Brigade Member Polson's Unit Base
Members: Polson, Faulkner, Bradley
After a brief sabbatical from the Brigade, we came back revived and ready to go, with more creativity and a wish to make more exciting baked goods.
Despite this, we stuck with an old favourite, chocolate chip cookies, as they have never let us down in the past, and are frankly, damn good.
Having not made the Stained Glass Biscuits at Christmas, despite having all the ingredients for them, we decided to make them now, along with some that didn't have the sweets in, using some cookies cutters that had amused Zoe when she had seen them at my house, not realising that she had got her own set. The recipe we used had called for ginger or something, but we did not put this in, and they still turned out great, so I don't think they really needed it! Zoe made this all by herself, as in this meeting, we all made things at the same time rather than working together on each item.
Linzi made this brownie from scratch. Watching it being made was like watching a heart attack waiting to happen, and it tasted the same too, which meant it was amazingly good. Even if the top did look like skin.
I stuck with another old favourite in this flapjack, as Zoe had some oats she wanted using up.
At this point, Linzi had to go, so while Zoe and Linzi were dividing up the rest of the meetings creations, I whacked the ingredients for a sponge into a mixer all at once, and then added food colouring, striping the mix in the tin to get this cool cake. It was as flat as a pancake, as expected, but look how awesome it looks!
