Wine and Cake Night

Despite being 22 years old i continue to act like a 40 year old. An example of this is discouraging my friends to go out and instead asking them to bake and join me for a civilized evening of wine and cake. Although we are exactly a month away from christmas, i littered our flat with christmas decorations and prepared for a ridiculously christmassy themed evening.

 My flat mates truly out did themselves! Cate made a beautiful quiche Lorraine, Katie made hazelnut crescent biscuits from a family recipe, Dev made goats cheesed and caramelised onion muffins and Josh surprised everyone and produced lovely little cupcakes Mary Berry would be proud of!

I decided to serve up my cranberry, orange and cherry cake ( recipe on my blog), but this time added apples to the mixture and a little christmas glitter which seemed to go down well!

After lots of mulled wine and cider everyone was less hesitant to take part in my christmas quiz full off useless questions such as : "What is the height of the tallest christmas tree recorded to date?" The amount of effort everyone put into the evening was great, Ed produced the center piece of our table in the form of a carefully decorated ginger bread house. 

 Overall it was a fantastic evening and it was nice to do something different. I spent all of the next day munching on our left overs, i ate 4 lemon sherbert biscuits made by my friend charlotte. I am already planning the Mad Hatter's Tea party for next term, and in preparation, a few more visits to the gym!
