Hi!
Firstly, i'd like to warn everyone that if this post is a little worse than our others it's because currently I'm running the blog alone for a week! Lizzy has gone for a trip down to Yorkshire, I won't say too much as I'm sure she has lot's to say about it when she get's back.
I've always had a secret love for baking and during our catering lesson we had to make a banoffee pie, which I was rather excited about. There's two sides to me when i'm baking, there's the "oh this has to be perfect and I can't have it any other way." and there's the "You know what, I might as well go mad with this." Today was the latter. I hate bananas so my banoffe pie was quickly reduced to just offe pie. I then decided to just whip all of the cream instead of the desired amount. This led to lot's of sprayed cream, one white nose and plenty of mess. My biscuit base didn't have enough time to set so the bottom is just a clumpy mix of biscuit and caramel. I'm not complaining. Whilst whisking my cream I noticed someone had blue food colouring and I just had to dye my cream. My friend poured way too much colouring in and hers looks like a highlighter exploded several times in the cream. My dye of choice was blue which actually looks rather nice. I then just poured chocolate chips all over the cream but then realised I had to smooth the cream down so I just began to wing it and said that I made it so there was a chocolaty surprise. Finally I topped it off with more chocolate chips and strawberries.
Overall I think it's quite a successful no-banana Banoffee pie.
I hope I made Lizzy proud :D
I'll have a book haul up next Thursday since it's world book day for you so I look forward to that!
Smile,glitter and lot's of laughs,
