The Urge to Bake

Thanks mostly to the inspiring baking done recently by my Flickr friend Gillyflower, I have been overcome by the urge to bake exciting things and make exceedingly pretty cakes.

I've not managed anything spectacular yet, but I have been shopping for some yummy supplies like these wonderful rainbow cake cases...... and I've temporarily satisfied my baking urge today by making up a batch of brownies. Out of a packet, but tasty all the same!

out-of-the-packet brownies can still be fabulous! i made some Ghiradelli fudge brownies last week and they were some of the best i'd ever had. sooo gooey and delicious! yum.

Rhiannon - I got the cake cases at my local cake supplies shop (sorry, that's not very helpful is it?) The brand name is "Easybake"

Jennifer - my brownie mix was a Ghiradelli one, they are the best ever :)

you take such fantastic photos. what are your secrets

I don't know that I have any secrets really - I certainly don't have a fancy camera! I usually use natural light & a white background, adjust the white balance on my camera and use the macro setting. I crop & brighten sometimes using my photo editor too - very useful :)
