Ok, So I have NEVER blogged before. I have never even written a diary...Well I tried but I lost the tiny little key and after that it all seemed so pointless. Anyway to the point, after years of reading all these fantastic food blogs I decided I would write my own 'rustic' food blog. Of course in order to write a food blog, there must be some inspiration.
        Today at work I decided to bake like a trooper tonight and set about asking all the people at work what they wanted. The requests were varied and as indivdual as the specimens asking. One of my more erstwhile collegues replied that they would like a brownie as big as their hand. I gathered that his sisters wedding had been a success due to the hangover he was describing. The lovely lass I work with requested cupcakes. I am not good at cupcakes.
      Finally Big Bad Boss asked for a tea loaf.
This is where the title of my blog comes in handy. I can't bake. Yup. Bugger.
       So I got home (after a cheeky wee burger king) and set about baking. The brownies I am proud of, I have never made brownies before. It was pretty fantastic, the mix was all glossy, and when baked the smell was fantastic.

The cupcakes worked very well, all fluffy and light.

       But the bloody tea loaf. If I could bring myself to throw away cake I would throw away this loaf. It stuck to the bottom. The taste wasn't nice and for some reason it burnt! So what I have are several cupcakes, some lovely brownie ( as big as his hand) and a whole load of burnt, bitter and overall unappealing tea loaf. Damn.
