Cake That! Signature Bake – Double Chocolate Cake with Fresh Cream & Salted Caramel
Currently in the US, I’ll just be checking in for my flight home *sob* so as you’ve probably guessed, this is a scheduled post I prepared before I left. I was invited by Best British Bloggers to take part in Cake That! A bakery competition with Euphorium Bakery who will be launching their new website later this month. Not one to turn down any cookery challenges, I quickly accepted. Although, the thing that really got me was the judge was none other than The Great British Bake Off winner of 2012 (my favourite year so far), John Whaite! We have three challenges, one each month until the end of The…

Yesterday wasn’t really a site seeing day, it was a seeing friends day and hanging out. In the end I didn’t take many photos as I wanted to spend the time actually hanging out and…

20th August – There’s The Whole World at Your Feet
Once again i’m up incredibly early (although it was 6am today and not 5am) i’m showered and dressed so now i’m sat at the desk in the hotel room with a bottle of Half & Half Nantucket Nectars (my new favourite drink) blogging before breakfast. In a few hours i’m meeting some friends who are coming in from West Virginia, I haven’t seen them in 5 years so we’re going to the Smithsonian, hanging out and eating Chipotle. It’ll be nice to have company after two days with none! Anyway, enough about the day that hasn’t happened yet! Yesterday was amazing! I spent the morning in Georgetown. Oh Georgetown, you…
