A trip into town today confirmed that Autumn is here, besides the warm weather trying to hang on! There were loads of conkers on the main street in Cheltenham and lots of people picking them up. I can never resist picking up as many as a can find!</div>

I spent the afternoon practicing for my bake of again - taking the cake to be enjoyed with friends. Still not 100% right but I think one more practice and I will have the right combination. How have you spent your Saturday?</div>

As you can see they didn't turn out very well! They broke up as soon as you touched them and they didn't taste very nice! I will try them again at some point, I might look for a specific gluten free recipe this time though!<br />
<br />
We had a charity bake off at work - I made the below ice cream cone cakes - I got through to the final! Whoop Whoop - now on to planning the next bake.<br />

Hello All</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been a while! I can't remember if I told you last time I was on here but I have been diagnosed as a <a href="https://www.coeliac.org.uk/home/" target="_blank">Coeliac</a> so am now following a gluten free diet. My baking took a bit of a knock as I got to grips with using gluten free flour and there were a lot of failed bakes and yucky food. I didn't feel like blogging about it! But anyway I am much more confident in my baking now, so I am back!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am going to try and bake as many things from GBBO as we follow the series and here is what I chose from week one (sorry about all the photos I got carried away!)</div>

They worked really well - I just used the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/homemadejaffacakes_91480" target="_blank">recipe</a> that they did in GBBO but subsituted the flour for GF flour. I also used Terrys choc orange for the topping and it made a big difference -they were delicious and didnt last long when I had family around! One final photo, because I was so happy with them!</div>

Here are a few close ups of it. It is a combination of photos, makes, a few art purchases and postcards. I have really enjoyed doing it and I am really pleased with the final outcome. I have recently moved the craft room around and so now I face a different wall - so there is only one thing to do - start again! I already have a few pieces on it - I will try and take a few pictures for you.</div>

You have probably seen a few gnomes on my blog - well this is the most recent member to join the crew. He is my first drawn gnome (well except patterns but they don't count!) i really love how he came out, he also made me realise how much I enjoy drawing and colouring, even if it is only simple things!</div>

Finally I wanted to show you this plate I got on the weekend (well I actually got 2 - I was at the till with the first one and thought what would happen if I broke it, so I went and picked up a back up plate, just in case!) It is from John Lewis and I love the pattern - it is only a little side plate (I didn't see any big plates) they also had a tea pot and cake stand.</div>

I found some fabulous wigs in the pound shop so I had to give them a go and these fantastic glasses in primark. It was a fantastic couple of days (I had my family over on Saturday for party round 2) There was lots of food and some very bad dancing from me!</div>

Sooooo I haven't blogged much recently, have I? Wellllllll there is a reason for this. Manny and I took up kick boxing about a month ago and since then we have been going 3/4 times a week, mix that in with the allotment and work and you pretty much want to sit down and do nothing the rest of the time! So I have a few very random photos to show and hopefully will settle into our new routine soon, so I will have good things to blog about!</div>

Lastly are these shoes, I saw them the other week and really liked them. I knew that the likelihood of me ever wearing them was very slim so I left them to be admired by someone else, now I regret that decision as they are no longer in the store!</div>

Today we went and sorted out a few paths in the front sections and planted up the first raised bed with potatoes! It is so satisfying going there and doing some work and seeing an immediate result from it It is also very relaxing and everyone we meet there are really friendly.</div>

I think I may have a new baking obsession - savoury muffins! These are the first ones I have made, they were super easy and really tasy. Have you got any savoury flavour suggestions I want to try the welsh rarebit version next I think!</div>

We had a movies bake off recently. I was inspired by all the snacks people have and made a triple layer cake. The bottom layer is pick and mix flavoured with a mixture of jelly, foam and chocolate sweets with a cream cheese frosting (with hundreds and thousands in!) the next layer is inspired by popcorn (the stripes are meant to be like the popcorn bags you get) and it is toffee flavoured. The top layer is a coke and chocolate cake! I had great fun making this and it tasted good too! </div>

I am a little late with these but I also have a few pancake shots for you. We had our pancakes after a roast, so only wanted them a pudding. I made little scotch pancakes in my new one-egg pan (I love it!)</div>

I made all these cushion covers from quilt covers that I have collected from car boots and charity shops - the first one (with orange flowers) is my favourite. I bought this quilt years ago and haven't had the courage to cut it up yet, I tried to put it on my quilt but it was a really funny shape so I finally took the plunge and cut it, I love the result!</div>

Hope you have had a good weekend, I have been working on another blanket and spent Saturday with my sister making valentines t-shirts!</div>

At the weekend we had people over for the superbowl so there were many things being cooked (forgot to photo them all!) Here were the first things - pretzel sticks. Recipe <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2011/10/we-love-soft-pretzels.html" target="_blank">here</a> I have only just found <span style="color: red;">a beautiful mess </span>and now I am hooked - it is a lovely blog - go and have a visit.</div>

I also made pop tarts - again I am not a fan of measuring pastry for hours so I made mini round pop tarts. I did 2 fillings, chocolate and marshmallow and cinnamon. They were really nice, something I will be doing again. Recipe <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2010/04/homemade-pop-tarts/" target="_blank">here</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8ZQuqwlUmNg/UQ_tB6fEZGI/AAAAAAAAOM4/hvYE8Hd3fgg/s1600/20130127_161708_Gloucester+Rd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8ZQuqwlUmNg/UQ_tB6fEZGI/AAAAAAAAOM4/hvYE8Hd3fgg/s400/20130127_161708_Gloucester+Rd.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I keep forgetting to give you all the recipe I used for my smores so here it is!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all I made the marshmallow - for this I followed <span style="background-color: white; color: red;"><a href="http://www.rivercottage.net/recipes/home-made-marshmallows/" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">this recipe</a> </span><span style="background-color: white;">I made them the night before and stored them in an air-tight container. I had way to many and the rest kept for about a week after.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xsd9o_rk9Y8/UQ_wlR9DaSI/AAAAAAAAONI/O6s864KCBoA/s1600/20130127_110318_Lansdown+Castle+Dr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xsd9o_rk9Y8/UQ_wlR9DaSI/AAAAAAAAONI/O6s864KCBoA/s400/20130127_110318_Lansdown+Castle+Dr.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
For the red velvet graham crackers I used <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://iambaker.net/red-velvet-graham-crackers/" target="_blank">this recipe</a> </span>as I didn't have any buttermilk I just used mile (semi-skimmed) and they turned out fine! I also used a cookie cutter to shape mine as all the measuring to make perfect rectangles seemed like a lot of extra work - when I could just make them round! I also chose to use a small star cutter to cut a shape out of the middle of the top cracker of the cookie - I really love seeing the marshmallow poke through.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rrx7yswiGNY/UQ_wlRpZ6kI/AAAAAAAAONI/Lyh7jSBTfeY/s1600/20130127_110330_Lansdown+Castle+Dr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rrx7yswiGNY/UQ_wlRpZ6kI/AAAAAAAAONI/Lyh7jSBTfeY/s400/20130127_110330_Lansdown+Castle+Dr.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then came piecing it all together. I first melted some chocolate and coated each side of the graham cracker. Then I roasted the marshmallows (in truth they were put under the grill in the oven until gooey, but roasting them on a camp fire would have been more fun) then all you do is squidge it all together! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy - let me know if you make any - share your pictures too x</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This was my contribution to my friends American bake-off. I wrote out all the links for the recipes and everything to go with the photos, saved it and came back and everything but the photos were gone - grrr. But maybe it is a good thing as I want to test the recipe again with a few changes so I will come back soon with it!</div>
