Fife Baking Club - We're All Going On A Summer Holiday 27th June

Summer has finally arrived, the sun is shining and Fife Baking Club were certainly in a holiday frame of mind. 

Welcome to Lesley and Natasha who came along for the first time.



Hot water and towels were on standby for Sarah and Luisa as both are in full pregnancy bloom with their due dates fast approaching. This means that there will be a couple of new additions at our next meeting.

It was so nice to take time out from my hectic week sit down, relax, eat and chat to everyone.


All the bakes were fabulous (as usual) and it was nice to have a couple of savoury items to break up the sweetness.

Fife Baking Club - Fruity Fun 16th May

Fruity Fun was on the quieter side with only six cakes and seven guests but that didn't stop us from having a good night. I would like to give a warm welcome to Sheena and Heather who are the new members of the club. There was even a special guest as Janis brought along her beautiful month old baby girl.


The chat and coffee flowed and considering there wasn't that many of us we still managed to eat quite a lot of cake.

Fife Baking Club - 7th March Red Nose Bakes

Another enjoyable night chatting to lovely ladies whilst eating delicious cake. The theme for the night was RED in honour of Comic Relief. This meant that there were lots of Red Nose inspired bakes. 

2013 is the 25th anniversary for the charity and I thought the Fife Baking Club could do their 'bit' by making a small donation to attend. 

I have to give a big mention to Cathy's fabulous Red Nose chocolate pinata cake. You can tell that Cathy is a professional baker as her cake was so beautifully decorated, it really was a shame to cut into it.

Good luck to Mhairi who will be enduring a 24 hour knit-a-thon also in aid of Comic Relief. I think I'll stick to eating cake.

Fife Baking Club - Red Nose 7th March

To tie in with Red Nose Day 2013, the next Fife Baking Club meeting will have a RED theme. I am expecting to see red velvet cake, jam tarts etc. Remember, there are no rules with this club so anything goes as long as it is within the theme. 

The meeting will take place on Thursday 7th March 6-8pm in Reuben's Wine Store, Dunfermline.

To raise money for such a good cause, there will be a small charge of £2 to attend.

Fife Baking Club - 24th January Festive Bakes

Christmas may have passed and the snow was falling but that didn't stopped the ladies of Fife Baking Club from bringing along some festive delights to cheer up a dull January evening. You have to admit that there is nothing better than a slice (or two or three) of cake and a good chat to raise the spirits.

We have been sticking with Reuben's Wine Store in Dunfermline for our get together as we love the relaxing atmosphere. 

Turn out was a bit lower than the past two events  however we it meant we could all squeeze round one table. It was great to see familiar faces as well as a couple of new members. I've been very surprised at the response and will welcome anyone who would like to come along to one of our events.

Looking forward to the next meeting already.
