I attempted another cake from Simply Party Cakes last weekend.
It took a while to do as there was lots of small pieces involved but the end result was worth it! It was also the perfect excuse to test out all my new tools for the first time.
Next time I will double up the sugapaste icing and give it 2 layers to give an even smoother finish to the cake.
I can't wait to get started on the next cake!!

LEMON AND DILL MUSTARD
I have bought a couple of copies of the new magazine Simply Homemade. The latest edition has a recipe for a lemon and dill mustard which I decided to give a go this week.
After finding a good source of yellow mustard seeds (Our local Asian Supermarket) I could make a start.
The mustard seeds, vinegar, fennel seeds and lemon rind and juice needed to be soaked overnight.
But once thats done all you need to do the next day is to add the salt, dill and honey and whizz in a food processor. It recommends that you don't whizz too finely as it increases the strength of the mustard and this is supposed to be a light summery version.
200g yellow mustard seeds
150ml white wine vinegar
juice and zest of 2 lemons
1tbsp fennel seeds
1tbsp sea salt
6tbsp honey
1tsp dried dill
Once you've whizzed it up put into clean, sterilised jars and seal. This mustard keeps for at least a year.
