What are you baking?

possets? :D at this particular moment they don't sound so attractive - although I bet they're lovely.

Possets always remind me of The Box of Delights where the policeman tells Kay Harker how to make a (hot) posset to build him up good and strong. I think it was more like a hot, milky, custardy, egg noggy kinda thing though that the cold citrus variety.
 
posseting is what babies do when they do a little bit of sick.

pos·set/ˈpäsət/


Noun:
A drink made of hot milk curdled with ale, wine, or other alcoholic liquor and typically flavored with spices.


I think it can kind of mean any milky concoction.
 
Oh, they look nice, thanks. Let me know how they work out?

I am ridiculously excited about the idea of baking ANYTHING other than this bloody wedding cake. I think I might just man up and do the last six layers at the weekend. I'm not sure I can cope with another two weeks of doing a layer every evening or so.

baby posseting is a pretty well known word and right now since I am usually covered in it, it has a very specific meaning for me! Although I am very happy to have a yummy one too!

Is it your wedding cake?

That posset recipe worked really well, they set nicely and were delicious :)
 
I am making late-night and slightly-pissed apple strudel (had some apples that needed using.)
 
Made cornbread this morning.

Corn *cake,* more like.

It's almost unspeakably sweet. AND we ran out of white flour, so I used wholemeal. Likewise, dark sugar. Likewise, gold top milk.

The whole confection is verging on inedibly rich and sweet, with chunks of bloody sweetcorn running through it all. Bleh.

Well dark sugar is always sweeter than white sugar, because it caramelises more. No wonder it's ultra sweet.
