Baking Day

The fourth Tuesday of November is my local CWA cooking competition. I don't enter the baking usually but I might have a go next year. The kids have been entering since 2000 and usually have a little success. The reward though is definitely in the task for them. They have the fun of baking and any items not up to the exacting standards of the CWA, become dessert or a lunchbox treat.


This year Hope had to make meringues. Six snowy meringues that are meant to be about 4cm in diameter. We didn't measure them but we did taste some and they were winners in our house. A little whipped cream, some strawberries and mulberries on top and we had mini-pavlovas for dessert last night.
Grace had to make Rock Cakes. I'm not sure but I think the age groups may have been mixed up because the meringues were the more difficult recipe but had to be made by the younger children.

I don't attend the CWA meetings often as Tuesdays are busy for me with a lot of driving. I can however recommend membership to the organisation to any ladies out there who have contemplated joining. The title "Not All Tea and Scones" is right.
