Before I Forget...

There are five things you need to know:

1.
The following photos are not fake.
The Young Academic was there
with his lovely family
and they will vouch for me.


2.
The judges commented that my Swiss Roll
had the right amount of cracks
to demonstrate it was homemade.


3.
The cheese scones did not win
because they had "no flavour".

The Dundee cake did not win
because it had been "overcooked".


4.
The Victoria Sandwich
had a "nice amount of jam".
Can't say fairer than that.


5.
I beat Mavis Waghorn,
local baking Goddess.
I am ashamed to admit
how gratifiying that was.

    'No flavour'. The fools. Someone before you had put WAY too much cheese in theirs and their palates were wrecked by it.

    That's brilliant, Alice. If you could just pass me a slice of the Victoria Sponge, I'll vouch for it's deliciousness....

    Gingerbread for me too.
    I am suitably speechless, sort of.

    Well done Alice. I recognise that moment of triumph as you realise you have just pipped the competition at the village show. I must share my recipe for "perfect" cheese scones!
