The horrors of being a baker and being on a diet!!


It is pretty safe to say that I over indulged over the festive period. As I put on my uniform I had to do some breathing in. So, the new year diet and fitness plan has begun! I have been successfully tee-total so far this month, although my best mates 30th birthday party may test my resolve tomorrow. I have been very good and only had one teeny weeny Green and Blacks choccie bar, sticking to cherries and nectarines. But I don't care what anyone says, they simply are not as goods as a home made muffin or slice of cake.

Here is some piccies of latest creation; banana, pecan nut and maple syrup cakes. I had some black bananas looking at me that were just needing to be made into something. However, I took them al into work and passed them out, without even trying one!! It was a sad but proud day for me. I was informed that there wasn't enough syrup, so I will have to try again soon.


This weekend I will be making a fruit cake for a friends wedding, the aroma of rum wafted through the kitchen the other day as soaked the fruit. So this will once again fulfill my baking needs without me breaking my diet rules. However, at the sight of my friends home-made chocolate fudge bday cake I may falter........................I will let you know how I get on.
