Baking blind

Of course I haven't made a Christmas cake on stir-up Sunday. I haven't even blogged on stir-up Sunday. I missed it. I was probably packing books and attaching labels. A lifesaver those sticky labels.

Instead, I've been reading 'The Great British Bake Off' inspired The Art of Baking Blind. More accurately, rereading as I picked it up in the summer and keep enjoying it. It's a good story of baking and the art of showing family and friends that you care for them.

Perhaps I'll bake this weekend and fill the house with festive scents of ginger, chocolate and clementines.
