“Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine admirably.” - C.S. Lewis

When I sit down with a good book on a rainy day I like to enjoy it with a bit of cake and hot chocolate. My favourite hot chocolate is Whittard’s White, Caramel, Banoffee and Chilli but it is really expensive so I only have it at Birthdays and Christmas. Luckily, Options do similar versions, which taste pretty much the same, are cheaper, and healthier for you too. This is my version of a snowy white-hot chocolate, with cream and sprinkles.
I also like to bake and make homemade cakes. This is an example of a chocolate cake I made which went a bit wrong so I sprinkled icing sugar on the top to cover the mistake. It still tasted delicious, so I didn’t really mind.
These are some lovely lemon cupcakes that my friend Maisie made me for my birthday last year. They were topped with butter cream and they tasted delicious.
I made some cupcakes myself and was a bit ‘experimental’ with the decorating, but baking is so much fun, even if it does not turn out exactly as planned! When you have finished baking, you know that you can sit down with a book and relax whilst enjoying the fruits of your labour.
Do you like baking to accompany your reading? If so, you can leave a comment below.
Lots of Love
