One that I host at 22 Dora once a year for a charity called Re-engage that helps bring older people together, thank god in cahoots with Janine &#8211; the other annual cake baker and my partner in culinary crime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have to host it in the rather cosy area in the top bit of the kitchen, as the guests are mostly too unable to navigate down the 6 steps to the white space, so the kitchen table has the garden table added to it, plus a pile of helpfully-narrower-than-ours chairs borrowed this year from Henry over the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/scottysblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1DF5B1FE-C172-4252-BC82-6CDEA5C93764_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1674\" style=\"width:509px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scottysblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1DF5B1FE-C172-4252-BC82-6CDEA5C93764_1_105_c.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/scottysblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1DF5B1FE-C172-4252-BC82-6CDEA5C93764_1_105_c-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Janine knocked out an excellent chocolate cake, complete with choc shavings on the top and I went for the &#8216;Easy Lemon Layer Cake&#8217; on BBC Good Food. Easy my arse!!!! It took me pretty much 4 hours to make and I decided to be very brave and use the big food processor-y thing which is usually Hawksey&#8217;s domain. He was out but I managed to work out how to get the top bit to go up and down, sot the big metal bowl can come in and out. Then I thought I had sussed how to affix said metal bowl to the base, as it worked for the first 3 or so times when I had to stop the machine to scrap the contents back off the sides and to the bottom of the bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On my next go, the bowl decided to detach itself and tried manfully to hurl itself and the contents onto the floor. My lightning reaction pickleball skills saved me &#8211; and it &#8211; as I managed to catch it en route. Thinking I had now worked out how to affix it, there was then an odd clunking sound as it was going round, so I tightened it and kept going with adding ingredients etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I then came to scrape it out into the tin and was pleased that it actually looked like cake slop (last year I left the eggs in a bowl on the counter and it took me a while to work out why the mix was so thick..). I thought I could feel the inverted steel bit in the base of the bowl as I was scooping it out, as the wooden spoon kept hitting something. At the very last moment &#8211; just before I was about to slam it all in the oven &#8211; I realised that the logo bit of the mixer had actually fallen off and into the mix and I was about to bake it&#8230; so that was the clunk I heard&#8230;! One very lucky escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/scottysblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/0CC6100B-2BCA-47BB-84C5-2515CB9CFADB_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1678\" style=\"width:324px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scottysblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/0CC6100B-2BCA-47BB-84C5-2515CB9CFADB_1_105_c.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/scottysblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/0CC6100B-2BCA-47BB-84C5-2515CB9CFADB_1_105_c-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We did somehow end up with two quite impressive cakes, plus 18 rounds of egg mayo, cheese, ham and tuna sarnies, shortbread rounds, Hawksey&#8217;s home made sausage rolls and several gallons of tea, ready to go. I made full use of my Amzazon-purchased first ever squeeze bag thingy to do piping. Arguably not quite Bake Off standard but useful to offset a dry cake &#8211; not that it actually was, phew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the week I was told we could expect 8-9 people, which when 2\/3 of them are guests and 1\/3 are their drivers, can feel a bit too few to go to all the effort for. Anyway &#8211; be careful what you wish for &#8211; as just before it I was told that the number was now 13-14, and then 15 turned up! (You&#8217;ll be glad to know that the Dog Treats pictured here did not get as far as the tea table..)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/scottysblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/69114BDC-40B5-46D1-9457-9E24420CADDC_4_5005_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1676\" style=\"width:509px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scottysblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/69114BDC-40B5-46D1-9457-9E24420CADDC_4_5005_c.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/scottysblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/69114BDC-40B5-46D1-9457-9E24420CADDC_4_5005_c-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn&#8217;t take any pictures of them as think that&#8217;s not quite right but I will share this one of the lovely tiny little lady who is 90 and who came for the second time.
