This Week's
High and Low
28/8/2014
It's a day late due to work commitments but here's the high and low for the past week:
High: Carrot Cake from Tasty Treats by Andrea at Naas Farmers Market
Carrot Cake can be a tricky one. The temptation to add a mountain of sugar to the mix entices alot of people but this is a mistake. I much prefer the less sweet, more carroty cakes. This is one such cake. The mix of carrot and sugar is spot on for me and the moistness of the cake makes this the most perfect version I have tasted. Flawless.
Low: Bridge Bakery Jam Bakewells
I'm a big fan of Lidl. I find that they generally do good quality produce at unbeatable prices and I have been known to do a lot of my shopping in their Newbridge store. For all of their good products there is also quite a bit of rubbish. These are one of the latter. Dry, tasteless and containing so little jam that I'm unsure of the relevance of it being mentioned in the name. With no fewer than 30 ingredients contained in these little tarts, it's a wonder they manage to be so bland.
