Even though I have let the blog slack I have certainly not been slacking in the baking department or the running either actually. Over the past two weeks there have been 4 bake offs and around 20k completed which isn't so bad considering I'm hustling full time. I am also very excited as I have been working on homemade typography based around baking for the cover of ''The Hip Hop Bakery'' book.
I currently have another batch of cakes in the oven however here are the latest and I'm sorry I don't have the time to post the recipes but enjoy the visuals and keep watching for the book. Also it wasn't fair to post one of the artists track so how about listen to this whilst you browse the treats, its my absolute favourite song (no pun intended) at the moment and I have been skipping along Shoreditch to it...
''Gateau Boys''
Now this little treat was a special delivery for an afternoon with my two London playas Lizzie and Martyn which seemed to go down a storm. To be fair I don't usually eat my cakes as I see how much sugar goes in to these badboys and I am not on that vibe however Lizzie had cooked us a beautiful lunch and it seemed only right to top it off with a slice of nice. Luckily for Lizzie and I, Martyn finished this off so we could resume our healthy vibes. Inspired by Geto Boys this was definitely a sunday show stopper.
''Ludacrispy Slices''
Move Bitch get out tha wayyyyyyy, yeah I was all about singing this whilst I whipped these up. Gonna be honest it was the same recipe I used when I was 10 so not too taxing but provided a nice treat for my housemates and also made a scooby snack for my pal Mark who was in the studio for the afternoon, who doesn't want a hip hop treat in the middle of their recording session.
''Obie Mice''
Now this sugar mice special was actually the result of baking letters to make up the title of ''The Hip Hop Bakery'' book, however I couldn't resist getting a hip hop pun in there. Unfortunately this cake got put on the floor, licked by the dog, scooped onto another surface, squashed against another letter made of eggs so by the end of the day it was in no way edible. Looked pretty playa status though!
''Batten Birdmans''
One of the bake offs from this evening I made these as wanted to make a few more letters for the handmade project and wanted a nice pattern cake to do so and what better than a batten berg!? Again these have been cut up, placed on different surfaces, covered in icing sugar and finally ended up in the bin after I finished taking photos ready to crack on the front cover tomorrow!!
