It's yet another gloomy, cold morning but we are quite happy to be inside today; the kitchen is warm and cosy, the oven purrs away and the air is filled with the sweet scent of pastries a-baking! A client has just left with the raspberry cheesecake that she ordered for her sons 25th birthday, but theres still a lot more birthday baking underway for a very special celebration this Saturday. My wonderful mother will be 90! She is having a lunch party that started as quite a modest gathering but the numbers have gradually crept up as more and more peopelehave eased their way onto the guest list. The latest addition is a very important one - my big brother called last night from South Africa to say that he'll be here in time for Lunch on Saturday. He wanted it to be a total surprise and arrive un-announced but decided perhaps that might be too much of a shock!
Now I must get back to my pecan pies, brown sugar meringues, lemon tartlets and chocolate mousse then there's the birthday cake to do. Lucy thinks Grandma should have a 'purple cat cake' - but I think we'll make something a little more demure .......
