"These days, it is usually the Cherry Bakewells you will find on supermarket shelves — if you want the traditional version you’ll have to find one in a local bakery, or bake your own."
Mrs Crimble's gluten free Bakewell slices are really nice. Ocado/M&S do sell some frozen ones
Sounds fantastic! I love Frangipane, especially with another flavor! I'm having trouble coming up with a memorable "ThoseCakesWeLike moves to Bakewell" joke, but you get it, they write themselves (until they don't)
I'm not actually moving there, just taking a mental vacation. I grew up not far from there and it's one of the Peak District towns I visited frequently. Castleton, Edale and Eyam are also favourite Peak District destinations of mine. Or just the Hope Valley area in general. We used to have picnics with my cousins at a local beauty spot called Padley Gorge.
So I just heard a conservative commenter's take on Trump's outrageous statement to Kristin Welker this morning.
The conservative spin seems to go as follows: Trump is showing humility by saying, I am not a lawyer, I don't know if I need to uphold the Constitution. I defer to the advice of my lawyers, who will always follow the law.
That looks delicious. My sister loves raspberry anything and is visiting me next week. I will be making this for her. Thank you for all your recipes, especially this one.
I buy an egg and sausage croissant on the way to work every morning. We'll see if that changes due to supply chain issues. I was thinking of trying to copy these all seed crackers I've been buying, as a better breakfast option.
This is the first thing I’m baking when our new oven is installed. I even have pastry amd ground almonds in the freezer from the last holiday I made a pie 😍
This May 22 dinner is a high crime and misdemeanor. A president of the United States can’t use the office to enrich himself in this way, from potentially anonymous donors for whom he might do favors. This is as textbook as corruption gets.
Thank you! Raspberries and almond are delicious together! Bakewell flavors are often a theme on what we see here in the US as The Great British Baking Show. I want to try your authentic version. Paul Hollywood would shake your hand, I'm sure.
Mr Cakes is pretty good at the whole gift giving thing, even if he spends weeks complaining that he has no idea what to get me. He always seems to find the perfect thing in the end.
Such a lovely, talented, charismatic lady. Fatoumata Diawara at theTiny Desk with Nterini. Even though it's a song about lost love, it always makes me smile.

Not as nice as home baked though.
Made a decent yuzu kosho vinaigrette
Arugula salad with green tomatoes & black olives
Tasty
Yay!! More articles featuring baked goods and less featuring Trump suits me fine.
I thought I was a pretty good baker, but not after this yummy item!
Is drool allowed in the comments?

Trump refusing to accept responsibility for something he did that isn't exactly well received? Nothing new there.
WE all should probably ignore most of Trump's comments these days.
The orange moron wants to "tariff movies" now

I am now at the point where I am resigned to Trump and the Supreme Court not doing anything.
I'm sure Squeaker Johnson will get right on it.
No one expected the criminal president to do crimes!!!
So I had to ask Trumpy Neighbor what she thought about Trump's comment that he "didn't know" if he was supposed to uphold the Constitution.
When confused about Trump, it's always good to get an authoritative reply from Trumpy Neighbor, who knows all.
She said he was kidding, because "he knows the Constitution!"
"So I had to ask Trumpy Neighbor"
You didn't really HAVE to ask since you already knew what she was going to say
'𝑆ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑑 ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑘𝑖𝑑𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 "ℎ𝑒 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛!"'
And lo she proves me right yet again
Especially since dude can't even read

I truly didn't know what she was going to say. I had to ask her because the suspense was killing me.
trump seems to joke, kid, and troll a lot. Not good for someone we should take seriously.
He does that so people WON'T take him seriously about the WORST things he has planned

Especially for someone who seems to have no sense of humor.
Don't waste your time. She'll still be a firm supporter even when she's living in a labor prison in El Salvador.
For a while now some of the best guitar rock on the planet has come out of the African desert. Tamikrest with Anha Achal Wad Namda.

We got to see M'dou Moctar at Warsaw in Brooklyn last year, Bombino came out for a couple of encores. It was blissful.
Nice. Love that. Have you seen Glass Beams? They’re really good too.
Thanks for the recc, will check it out.
This is looking promising to me!

The closest I'm likely to get to a Hollywood Handshake is the Star Baker apron that Mr Cakes bought me for Christmas 2023.
What a nice gift!

You never know, and fingers are perpetually crossed for you!

She's one of President Obama's recommended artists when he comes out with his annual list. First time I heard her she blew me away
