Cake Friday

If you are a follower of Becky Bakes on Facebook you will have noticed Cake Friday appearing almost every week. Let me explain. About a year ago I had a conversation with a local shop keeper about food. Whilst he was content to eat “ping-dinners” (microwaveable ready meals) he really missed homemade cake. He felt too old and ill-equipped to learn how to bake at his age. Our conversation moved on to other things, but it made me think he might appreciate the occasional cake. When I delivered the first one he was thrilled to bits! It was a lemon drizzle cake, freshly made that day and he was effusive in his thanks. So it began. Each week we have a chat about what he might like next, but it’s almost predictable and often the same – scones, or lemon drizzle. Easter biscuits went down well, as did ginger cake, fork biscuits were good too, but I know what really floats his boat! En route to his shop we pass some of our lovely independent shops and stop off to share some with Sarah and Will, don’t tell him!
