in two days time i will be in london baking and making yummy things with John Whaites. i recently found out that Emily and Bea will be attending as well!
as i have never made any of the goodies before i decided it might be a good idea to give them a go!
i decided to try Madeleine's! the madeleine or petite madeleine is a traditional small cake from Commercy and Liverdun, two communes of the Lorraine region in northeastern France, AKA yummy!
i stuck to Johns recipe for rose water but decided against the fondant. insad I went for a simple rose water icing using icing sugar, water and rose water.
considering i have never made these before im really pleased with how they turn out! they looked perfect and they tasted amazing!
in the morning i will be trying mushroom and parmasan rough puff pastry palmiers
on a slightly different note the final fundraising amount for cancer research was £266! id like to say a special thanks to all those who supported by buying the cupcakes and making the day such a success!
Oooh they look delicious! Have an amazing time with John, can't wait to see everything you learn :)
