Today Ishie and Alastair baked a Spiderman Cake. Well, it started out to be cupcakes but it evolved into a Spiderman Phenomenon.
Ishie is very good at stirring and knows enough not to have everything flung all over the kitchen. She also can find things in the cupboard. "Well, actually (her phrase of the week) ... it should be in the breakfast cupboard."
Alastair gives everything 2 seconds of attention then shouts "Finished!" However he is big on IDEAS (and no doubt is going to grow up to be A Supervisor ... or An Advisor!)
We did a test run on making the actual web for the cake. Here is the result having used chocolate sauce from the squeezy bottle. Dollop 3 concentric circles on top of the cake then run the knife lightly from the centre outwards to make the web.
Ah-h-h ... the best bit of baking is licking the spoon ... or the bowl ... or the plate as the case may be.
Now this is the bit you don't see in the Delia demonstrations! Alastair-fingers gouged out chunks as fast as one could assemble the halves together!
