Ishbel, aged 12 but who will be 13 years on Hogmanny, has been taught at school how to make a Swiss Roll.
She made one a week ago in my kitchen with a bit of help (to turn it out) from me but this week she did it all herself. Also she now knows her way around our cupboards so it's progress on all fronts!
It was a huge success - right from cracking eggs in the bowl (and no broken eggs nor mess) to the final product as seen below.
John took this picture recently of our Star Baker walking in the hills north of Glasgow.

Ellie, nearly 5 years old, has been in the kitchen too. Here she is using bread dough that I prepared earlier to make little balls that sit on the pizza plate and have a dish of gooey cheese in the middle. It all gets baked together.
Using an egg cup she used it as a 'cookie press' for each ball giving it a rather novel Chinese Hat sort of appearance... all good stuff!
Happiness is having your fingers squidging the dough (while getting flour everywhere)!
And here she is in a recent photo having some toast that she butters herself. She is left-handed so teaching her use her knife so as not to scrape great dollops of butter from the butter dish is challenging!
