My love of this programme clearly qualifies me as an O.A.P, particularly as I usually watch it in a warm cardigan with a mug of tea, but I have no shame. In fact, it's inspired me to get on the baking wagon! Calorie concerns were put aside (I'm attempting a health kick... not very successfully clearly...), vast amounts of icing sugar and decorations were bought, and my cousin Eleanor and I had a great time dancing around to some classic tunes and cooking up a storm! (Literally, the kitchen looked like a hurricane had hit by the time we were done...). In G.B.B.O. they always go on about 'exciting flavour combinations'. So we stretched ourselves by putting raspberry jam in the middle of the cakes - pushing ourselves to the limit. The cakes weren't actually that delicious in the end (probably as we'd eaten half the mixture and felt pretty sick by this point...), but we found that good decorating can covering up anything, so out came the food colouring edible glitter!Overall it was lush, and as soon as I am a size 8 with the metabolism of Kate Moss, I am sure I will be baking more!
