Today I am thankful for just-warm cakes cooling on a breadboard in the kitchen. The smell of the iced Spiced Honey Loaf cake is intoxicating, and you'd be forgiven if you can't help but break off a bit of Boiled Fruit Cake when you walk by. The crusts are the best bits. Best served warm on a cold wintery day, when the rain is pouring outside and the smell of warm traditional cake fills the house.
I'm currently living as a (temporary) expat in the UAE. When not here in the desert, I live at the British seaside with my husband and two amazing kids. I make natural handmade soap over at Bean & Boy, and share my love of craft and family life here at Bakercourt.
