I've already had a few requests about what things to bake for Blaze II:The Return to Butlins!, sorry Haven:blush:.

At the moment I'll be making white/dark chocolate Marble Cheesecake (maybe two due to number of requests), Chocolate Orange Cake, Banana & Walnut Cake, and maybe cappuccino slices (depends how busy my week is next week).

So any more requests, special requests because of allergies/intolerances etc.?

Also is any one else planning to do any baking, and if so what?

I usually bake for weekenders, but I don't think I'll manage much that'll be flight-proof :( (although I may give it a try just for the hell of it ;) ).

Banana and walnut cake sounds fab - put me down for a slice of that please :flower:.

Will LemonCake be in attendance?
And I'm sure if Little Monkey is there there'll be more than enough yummy cakes to go around :drool:

I hope I'm not treading on Lemoncake's toes by doing this (if I am, then please PM me and I'll change my baking plans)... but I was planning on making a lemon drizzle cake - mainly because I have limited free time next week and I can whip one up quite quickly. Also chocolate tiffin (as it requires minimum cooking).

If I were to have time to make biscuits, would people eat biscuits, even though they're not cake?

Always room for cake of any sort :flower:... and biscuits... and all manner of goodies :drool:

I was going to make some "chocolatystuff", but I fear my baking skills will be out classed :what: May just make some jammy pancakes. {As in "taste like jam in", not "exclusivly for jammy" :wink:}

I absolutely will be in attendance! Not sure how much I'll be able to bake next week as I have to go to Dundee for a conference.

Will find time for LemonCake(TM), choc brownies and carrot cake. I might have time for more and I aim to please, so are there any other specific requests?

If I am allowed one request it would be for your deliciously dark and squidgy ginger bread :drool:... please :flower:

I didn't realise the gingerbread had so many followers! It's laughably easy to make so I'm sure I can fit that into the week. I generally don't bother to ice it but can do - would that be preferred?

Well, there are so many forum bakers now, that I wasn't going to bother..... But...

Because of this comment I might have to make one cake, anyway!

Well, if you're doing carrot cake, I think I'll only do the banana and chocolate cake, if I'm baking anything..... Although it's not my favourite!

We'll see... I think at this rate we're going to be drowning in cakes.

I feel a Forum Baking competition is called for. :devil:

Your carrot cake is far superior to mine, I'm happy to pass that one over to you :drool:

Nothing wrong with your carrot cake! Besides, it's not 'my' carrot cake. I'm using Beo's recepy (with a couple of changes, that is). But I'll happily bake a carrot cake, and that way you might have time to make the gingerbread that the crowds are demanding! :wink:

Personally I have a soft spot for your exceedingly gooey chocolate brownies...:drool:

Yes please :D :drool: Iced gingerbread is gorgeous.

I'll ice half and leave half plain, that way everyone's happy!

Chocolate brownies are a given, as they are also ridiculously easy. In the large tray this time, last time I did a small batch :rolleyes:

So the list so far is: lemon cake, brownies, gingerbread, victoria sponge. How much needs to be dairy free? Also if there are requests for FLOUR FREE get them in now! I can do damp lemon-almond or chocolate. I've already made the lemon cake (it keeps well) and it's not quite dairy free (according to the ingredients there's a tiny bit of dairy in the sunflower spread I use), but the brownies & gingerbread are both fully dairy free. The sponge can be that rather rules out filling it with cream...
:drool:

So it looks like I'm now baking carrot cake and banana-chocolate cake, then? Might make the banana-chocolate cake as muffins again, easy to transport and serve.

I did also think of making a very light, creamy, yummy layered sponge cake type thing (Norwegian style), but not too sure. It's a bit too messy to eat by hand, so might give it a miss.

I'm going to leave the baking to the professionals :worthy: :respect: ... and spend my time consuming the delights they produce :drool: rather than baking things myself!

(although I might have to ask you for your ginger bread recipe LC, because it's far too yummy! Pretty please? :flower: )

Ok who needs dairy free? (i.e. do I need to make the gingerbread with pretend milk or can I use the real stuff?)

fair enough this time sparkles but i was hearing really good things about your baking from aleks and havent experience it yet so at some point it will have to be tried!!!!

as for me i think i may try making something else instead like soup for the chalet!(since im supposed to be watching my weight and will only be able to sample a limited amount of this gorgeous cake!)

Well I'd planned on baking some things this weekend assuming I get everything else done this week..

My Orange and Ginger cookies spring to mind..

..

.. Unfortunately I'm not going to Blaze but rest assured if I do make something I'm sure Twirly will enjoy it immensely when she's up Visiting me in Aberdeen ;) :na:

(of course, Now I HAVE to bake.. otherwise Twirly will be very disappointed )

:yeah: :respect: to all the Blaze bakers! I won't subject anyone to my attempts at baking, but I will have a big tub of Haribo that everyone is welcome to share (that's if you have any room left after all the cake :drool:).
