In other news, the following cakes (links provided where I have been able to find them on the internets) have been baked and are ready for action, nestling in their icy beds, waiting for me to meld their glazes, whip their ganache into shape and glue their soft receiving folds together:
Lemon and lavender (Bundt)
Sour cream and chocolate (Bundt)
Carrot, ginger, orange (Bundt)
Coffee and walnut (yer classic English style cake)
Apple, maple and olive oil (Ottolenghi recipe and truly extraordinary)
Chocolate cake (with ganache not buttercream)
This will give me ample opportunity to apply the "cake topper" (see below with your eyes) that came to me on an aeroplane last night. But ... what is this? Another cake topper*, given by a friend? Sweet Heavens! Whatever next?! (Please note the exquisite detail of the tiny cake topper on the tiny cake on the tiny cake topper.)
* A truly appalling expression, but I cannot find another.

That apple and maple cake sounds amazing. Well done with all the baking.
I love making chocolate ganache. It goes with everythink. Nice on fruit toast.
Monkey and beaver cake topper: c'est tres incroyable.
I've never come across the expression 'cake topper' before. I suppose I should thank you for it.
Cake toque? Cake fez? Cake-finishing-thing? Anti-cake-nudity-device? There must be something...
Hurray there's coffee and walnut cake, huge big hurrays!
If you don't go with the cake topper in the photographs, you are truly conventional and a coward. It says everything anyone would want said.
