The children love cooking, especially something sweet to eat. The favourites for the last week have been lamingtons and decorated cupcakes, all made from scratch. Here you can see Miss V (7) and Miss N (13) completing their lamingtons. Yesterday they made a plain cake slab, cut it into cubes and froze it for easier handling. This afternoon they are dipping them in thin chocolate icing then coating them in desiccated coconut. They are very nice, although I usually avoid most sweet things myself (except for dark chocolate).
Something a little different.....Master T is allergic to cocoa, so he made these earlier in the week adding a little food colouring instead of cocoa!
NB Lamingtons are a traditional Australian food which explains why many of you have not heard of them before. They are very nice, especially homemade ones, and they freeze well too.
Love it!!! Lamingtons - one of my favourites :)
ReplyDeleteDelicious! Love lamingtons but jelly cakes are even better!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip about freezing the cake first. Hadn't thought of that!
Sweet, sweet, sweet !

ReplyDeleteI haven't had a lamington in ages, I used to make then when the kids were at school. Yours look absolutely delicious.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous captures of very sweet moments!
ReplyDeleteI hate to admit it but I've never heard of these. They look fun to make and good to eat!
ReplyDeleteAh some new and too tempting sweet treat. Never heard of Lamingtons before and I had better avoid learning how to make them :-)
ReplyDeleteThose look yummy! It's cooling down as our Autumn has began here so I'm baking again trying new things and warming the house.
