Yesterday Mum had a chocolate cake competition at work. There were 10 cakes on the judging table. There were all sorts of choc cakes - one with Rolo's on top, one with delicious berries on top, one with mint leaves and a few odd looking ones too! And yes, you've guessed right....Mum's cake made the top three (second place to be precise). Thanks to Nigella Mum made a delicious chocolate fudge cake. We had some the night before and it was really good. Mum was only allowed to enter half a cake. The organizer (aka Andrew Miller) thought it won't be fair if family members missed out on cake! And here's hoping Mum will be able to post a photo soon....
P.S. here is the link to Nigella's old fashioned chocolate cake

ENJOY!
Mum's one is number 7 in the middle of the back row. Number 13 got third place- very impressive looking cake. We were told that Matt used 750g of chocolate!!
The winning cake was number 2 - what were they thinking?? (Correction - number 2 on the right which turned into number 24)
Poor judges....we don't think they'll ever eat another chocolate cake!
What a great idea to have a HALF cake competition, so your family can share too! Alistair seems to be taking his judging role very seriously. I especially love the pickled bits in the background! A very special birthday coming up on Sunday! Hope you have a super day, will be thinking of you. Lots of love,Jenny
