Turns out D isn\’t the only one with a new obsession.
Those of you who have also been watching The Great British Bake Off will no doubt understand my new-found enthusiasm for home baking.
Of course it\’s not that new after all. Both Amanda and I spent our early years toiling away at Gould\’s Bakery (now renamed), and I\’ve always enjoyed decorating cakes.
Here is this week\’s submission for the judges: my successful attempt at making Chetna\’s Orange Savarin cake.

Doing his best Paul Hollywood, Jeff pronounced it \”over proved\” and \”over baked\” but I found its deep golden color very close to perfect. And it tastes great! Unlike my previous attempts to make some of the more complicated cakes from the show, I am quite proud of it.
Beautiful! I LOVE that program. You will have to get a wiggle on and bake another confection. I am pulling for Chetna!
Gould’s bakery closed a couple of years ago. It was a wonderful bakery with all fresh made items.
