Oof! What with all that French robot jiggery-pokery, and reams of photos to get through, I have neglected to provide cake for Ms Scarlet.
Herr Mago began this meme here for poor, beleaguered Ms Scarlet, and recapped it here. And, upon her return, The Very Mistress MJ has also provided cake in her own inimitable style. This leaves me the only member of the Coven not to have done so. Until now.
I made these almond and raspberry buns with just a few of the glut of raspberries from The Mother's allotment. And I'm sorry, Ms Scarlet, but they're not as almondy as I would have liked, so next time I will add a little more almond essence and a good dollop of marzipan!
Lovely cupcakes for our Miss Scarlet! Well done (so to speak)!
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't be saying that about the ones I've just baked. They really are well done.
DeleteCharming and delicious, Mr Devine!
ReplyDeleteI am worried about The Mistress.... she is baking on the kitchen floor.... is this usual practice in Canada do you think? Do they not have worktops and suchlike over there? Meanwhile.... oh, bugger.... forgot what I was saying.... distracted by Aidan. Again.

You're welcome, Ms Scarlet! I'm sorry it took me some time to get around to furnishing you with cake.
DeleteSpeaking of which: We'd better club together to get The Very Mistress some kitchen furniture, it seems...
In the interim, I have fashioned together a couple of sturdy tree branches and laid a plank across them to use as a work table.
DeleteWell, it's no wonder that squirrel keeps ringing your doorbell!
DeleteMARZIPAN !
ReplyDeleteSkip all that other useless stuff ! Ad MARZIPAN - YEEEAAAHH ...
*cough*
I like Marzipan, you know ?
No worries about The Mistress, dearest MsScarlet : Perhaps she'll calm after some drinks, steady hands and all.
You may have my marzipan, Mr Mags. I usually push it to the edge of my plate after I've licked off the Royal icing.

::makes note to order a bulk load of marzipan for Herr Mago::
DeleteBleeuch! Royal icing? I think between us all, we could finish off a wedding/Christmas cake.
Scarlet licked Marzipan.
DeleteWhere's the chaisse-longue ? Bilder stürmen durch meinen Kopf ...
I dread to think what kind of images...
Delete::also looks for chaise-longue::
These little almond and raspberry buns classify as food porn.
ReplyDeleteThe GOOD kind. Not the cake farts kind.
Thank heavens!
DeleteAnd, thank you!
I should think The Mistress will revive shortly.Heatwaves don't last long over there, especially on the Wet Coast.But she might appreciate a package from Ikea.
ReplyDeleteDoes Canadia have Ikeas?
DeleteDoes Canada have IKEA, you ask?
DeleteMay I remind you? Click here.
Mr Devine must have reached that age where memory starts dissolving..... it's a slippery downward hill-thingy.

Yes. Erm... What were we talking about, now?
DeleteThe cupcakes look fantastic! I like the well done cripsy cupcakes! That burnt sugar caramel flavor is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh, you flatterer! You know just how to butter someone up, don't you?!
Delete::makes note to get more butter for the next batch::
