This is my idea of pure beauty. I have just put a lemon poppy seed cake together into my favourite baking tin. 8 eggs and 12oz of butter are in that bad boy. This cake is for a family member and I have grand plans for it…

Naturally this is a two day operation. Cook today, chill tonight and carve tomorrow. Then I shall ice  it until it looks the part and will put a smile on everyone’s face!
