I was sent some nice freebies from the people at American Soda, the American sweet website so I made these fab brownies with the ingredients. There's a crunchy texture to the top of the brownie, whilst the inside remains slightly gooey - exactly how a brownie should be!]]> http://laythetable.com/cakes/other-cake/strawberry-fluff-and-reeses-peanut-butter-cup-brownies/feed/ 1 http://laythetable.com/cakes/cupcakes/eton-mess-cupcakes/ http://laythetable.com/cakes/cupcakes/eton-mess-cupcakes/#comments Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:13:05 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=881
I took the idea of the traditional Eton Mess (fresh cream, meringue and strawberries) but used buttercream. The inside of the cupcake is stripy, which is a nice surprise when you bite into it!]]> http://laythetable.com/cakes/cupcakes/eton-mess-cupcakes/feed/ 3 http://laythetable.com/cakes/cupcakes/pimms-no-1-cup-cakes/ http://laythetable.com/cakes/cupcakes/pimms-no-1-cup-cakes/#comments Tue, 13 Jul 2010 21:47:52 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=644
I love the refreshing blend of fruits that you get in Pimm's: strawberry, cucumber, orange and mint. I've been thinking about how best to combine all the flavours into a cupcake and this is the result. The buttercreams all work really well, none of them overpowered each other including the cucumber which I thought would be awful because it's quite watery.]]> http://laythetable.com/cakes/cupcakes/pimms-no-1-cup-cakes/feed/ 8 http://laythetable.com/cakes/cupcakes/super-strawberry-cupcakes/ http://laythetable.com/cakes/cupcakes/super-strawberry-cupcakes/#comments Tue, 01 Jun 2010 21:15:26 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=521
Summer strawberries, mmm delicious! Making your own strawberry sauce is so incredibly easy, there's no reason not make it. I loved opening up the cake box and letting the smell of fresh strawberry hit me.]]> http://laythetable.com/cakes/cupcakes/super-strawberry-cupcakes/feed/ 4 http://laythetable.com/reviews/the-good-life-grow-your-own-window-boxes/ http://laythetable.com/reviews/the-good-life-grow-your-own-window-boxes/#comments Sun, 11 Apr 2010 08:38:44 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=462
As some of you know Lay The Table has taken a move up North – Leeds in fact, and that’s meant I haven’t posted for a little while as I haven’t had internet access at home. On the upside, moving has allowed to me the opportunity to finally get a herb window box.

A classic recipe that's sure to impress anyone! It's so easy to make it look stunning, fresh fruit really sets it off. I use buttercream to fill it with fresh cream on top with a little lemon juice and rind to cut through the sweetness of the filling.]]> http://laythetable.com/cakes/full-size-cake/summer-fruits-victoria-sponge/feed/ 1 http://laythetable.com/reviews/food/review-charbonnel-et-walker/ http://laythetable.com/reviews/food/review-charbonnel-et-walker/#comments Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:21:54 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=198
There's nothing like indulging in a little luxury from time to time and Charbonnel & Walker chocolates offer you just that. I could hardly contain my excitement when I discovered they had a shop in Leeds where you can choose your own little boxes of treats.]]> http://laythetable.com/reviews/food/review-charbonnel-et-walker/feed/ 0 http://laythetable.com/cakes/cupcakes/strawberry-pomegranate-cupcakes-with-lemon-cream/ http://laythetable.com/cakes/cupcakes/strawberry-pomegranate-cupcakes-with-lemon-cream/#comments Sun, 26 Jul 2009 18:03:27 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=32
Make the best of summer fruits and enjoy a British tradition, stawberries and cream, with a twist! The best thing is these aren't too sweet, with the lemon just curbing the sweetness of the strawberries.]]> http://laythetable.com/cakes/cupcakes/strawberry-pomegranate-cupcakes-with-lemon-cream/feed/ 1
