One of the things I hear quite often from my lovely customers is something like:
"𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨..."
or
"𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙢𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙙..."
And honestly – 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙚. 💖
As someone who didn't grow up in the UK, I didn't get to experience this kind of treat in my own childhood...
So, the fact that I can now bake it and 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 through something as simple as a slice of cake – that means the world to me. ✨
When my cake reminds you of school days, grandma's kitchen, or those classic lunch trays – 𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙄'𝙫𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙟𝙤𝙗 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 😁
Thank you for sharing those sweet little stories with me – 𝙄 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢. 🥹🍰
𝙎𝙤 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙚 – what's the treat that takes YOU straight back to being a kid? 👇
For me? Sticky toffee cake actually reminds me of my gran's Piernik (Gingerbread Cake) – though hers wasn't nearly as strong on the ginger as the one I make for the stall (that one's a bit much even for me 😆)
Different cake, different ingredients... but somehow, 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙮 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜. 🥰
