There is Such a Thing as Too Much Cake

I have just returned from The Wylye Women WI's third birthday party- and I feel a little bit sick!

As expected our members excelled themselves with their baked offerings. It was tough but I tasted every one - isnt it obligatory?! Our winner was Melanie Lee, with an amazing raspberry and white chocolate brownie- I am getting the recipe and will post it here asap. Mel was awarded with a prize kindly donated by Ali Brown, our local consultant for Pampered Chef.http://www.pamperedchef.biz/alibrown

We also had a Cupcake Decorating Masterclass with Juliet Hunt from Sweet Hearts http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sweet-Hearts-by-Juliet/178537612200522

So there'll be no excuse for shop bought offerings next time the kids' school has a bake sale!

Next month we have a real treat- we have invited Rachel and Helen from the Cookery School at award winning Demuths Vegetarian Restaurant in Bath who will create some delicious veggie dishes for us to taste.... We do love a foodie meeting! All welcome 8pm at SV Hall on Wed 2nd May.

Happy Birthday to Us!

The Wylye Women WI is 3 in April and that means birthday cake! (and a drop of fizz!)

We know many of you are dab hands at the stove and so April is when we don our pinnies and bring along some of our best baked goodies. We will eat hunks of gateaux, swap recipes and vote for our favourite - it'll be tough but we'll taste every one!

Please bring along a plate of your most requested recipe or always successful cake/tart/biscuits etc.  for a bake off taste test extravaganza. Please also bring along a copy of the recipe so we can share our baking wisdom.  There will be a prize for the entry judged to be most popular on the night.

If you are not a baker this is the time to pick up some foolproof recipes- bring a notebook and pen!

And kitchen diva or not, we will all benefit from a Cupcake Decorating Masterclass with Juliet Hunt from Sweet Hearts http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sweet-Hearts-by-Juliet/178537612200522

So there'll be no excuse for shop bought offerings next time the kids' school has a bake sale!

See you there!
