Calum and Mika’s cakes.

Ubuntu Notes

We are blogging a lot of cakes, so to economise on space, I’ve paired Mika and I’s latest baking attempts. Last week was my turn to bake a cake. I was nervous. There’s a lot of pressure, and it is no easy task! So I chose to bake a loaf (but relying on one design ...
