The One Where Members Bradley and Edkins Were Super Helpful

MEETING 21

DATE: 13th December 2010
PLACE: Faulkner Base
MEMBERS: Faulkner, Bradley, Edkins


Member Faulkner has a male friend that appreciates Faulkner making him lemon drizzle cakes. He also appreciates Terry's Chocolate Orange. He also celebrates the anniversary of his birth in December, and so Faulkner invited the Brigade around to help her make a Chocolate Orange Drizzle Cake.

This was something she had experimented with before and had given to Member Bradley to taste test as she doesn't like it herself. Bradley thought that it was good.

As such, Bradley and Edkins showed up to help with good intention, but then spent the entire evening out of the kitchen with Faulkner Senior buying Avon from Bradley while Faulkner slaved away on her own.

THAT my friends, is true dedication to the meaning of the Cake Brigade.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE DRIZZLE CAKE

Having not been present for the making of either version of this cake, I cant tell you much about the making of it. I believe she adapted the recipe from a Lemon Drizzle Cake recipe, instead using orange with chocolate buttercream and chocolate orange segments to decorate.

As far as I am aware, she encountered no major problems, and I don't believe there is anything that we would change if we were to make this cake again.

As you can see, it looks great and I can assure you that the first version at least tasted great, too.

RATING *****

I would like to make this again one day, just so I know how. The best bit was eating the left over chocolate orange, although we did so quickly and consequently felt sick.

I don't remember much else about this Brigade meeting, other than that I made quite a lot of money for Avon.
