Death or...actuall, I'll always take the cake option, thank you

Last night I ate the last of my tin of marble brownies with my pre-bed cup
of tea. It has just occurred to me that I'll be too busy this weekend for
baking. Oh noes! What is a girl to do?

Well, I might have to crack out the Angel Delight and Flake to provide
pudding with my tea tonight and tomorrow night. Thursday night is knit
night, so no pudding or cake needed, and on Friday I'm sure that I can
figure something out. After all, I have little packets of Animals and
Chocolate Fingers that I could nosh. Or there are always the Roast Chicken
crisps that I picked up at the weekend.

But still, no baking time this weekend and I do love some homemade baked
goods with my evening cuppa.

Then I remembered something. I had genius and foresight when I made that
last batch of brownies. Some of them went into the freezer. Phew! I can
defrost and continue with the baked goods next week. The weekend after that
should be much quieter, so I'll have some time to play around in the kitchen
again.

Then it's the Easter weekend and I have Plans. I'm going to make hot crossed
buns on Good Friday and force my aunt to sample them fresh from the oven.
I'm so mean :-D

Then I may try making a simnel cake. If I can source some marzipan. Hmm.
I'll have to look when I'm in the superstore on Friday to see whether it's
sold here. If it is...

Battenburg cake!

Yes, I may have a ridiculous fondness for cakes that involve quantities of
marzipan.

You can buy marzipan here. I can't remember if we last picked it up at the grocery store or if we had to go to somewhere a bit more specialized like Pete's or Italian market, but if you look around a bit you will find some. If you don't find it right away at your grocery store make sure to ask some stuff like that is in very strange locations.
