Wednesday 5 December 2012

Well, here it is the beginning of December, and the event and demonstration season is winding down, with just one more event on the 17th of December, with Victorian crafts.

This doesn't mean we close up shop.  Rather, the test kitchen is really cranked up, and the smells of Savoy cake, and ratafia biscuits waft up the stairs as I type this.  These are the essential ingredients for a Regency trifle, which will be going to the Regency dance group on Friday night.

Left to make is the syllabub, which is a lovely lemon and wine flavoured fluff.  The orange custard is cooling in the fridge, and everything is ready to assemble tomorrow.
