17.3.10

A different kind of commission !


Last Monday I had a massive baking session. My daughter, Soha, took the 2 sponge cakes into work the following day as is the office custom for birthday girls. They were sliced up and by 10.30 in the morning they had both gone. In an email she said 'The cakes went down well - everybody loved them and said what a good cook you are'. She later said that one chap reckoned it was the best cake he had ever tasted. As I sit here checking my emails after today's workshop I have to giggle - you see, I've just received my first cake commission! Soha writes 'The bloke who said your cake was the best that he has ever tasted wants you to make him and his wife one…he’s Indian and his wife is moving here from India 30th March, he said in return he’ll get her to make you some somosas and bhajis.' Well, exchange is no robbery '
