Exquisitely delicious

Is it possible to buy cakes from yesteryear anywhere? The type that are exquisitely delicious but not too sweet? The entire cake industry in Australia seems to be in love with with saccharin and mock cream and their products have become inedible. They should have signs on them saying 'Look but don't eat'.

If you want a really delicious cake you have to make it yourself from granny's recipe book and because we are all time poor, this doesn't happen often.

There were two birthdays in our family last week so out came the recipe book: Covered Apple Cake (with rum and raisins).

Yes, it was exquisitely delicious.

Cake decorating pizazz

Real fruit ... the raspberry had a little silver no top

If you really care, you can make birthday cakes look pretty fabulous. This one was in La Renaissance at The Rocks (Sydney) where I had a birthday lunch with friends last week.

We didn't buy the cake. Maybe next year.
