I made gnome cakes Want one Joyce? Belated Happy Birthday - I could stick a candle in one for you? Anyone else? They're actually not bad, considering I'm no baker . But the courgettes have rather gotten away from me so I needed to use them up .....

Happy birthday for yesterday Joyce. Good to have a surprise to help you along.
Those gnome cakes look great fun - love the flowers - and your sponge looks yummy too Dove. No cakes here tho as Possum and I are dieting. She indulged in too many pancakes and microwaved chocolate mug cakes during exams so I'm trying to keep the calories down. Hence all the sewing too.
I shall make that courgette cake when she's gone again.

ooh - that looks just the thing . May have a go at the weekend if I can find another lemon. Our local baker sells courgette, lime and cardamom cakes which are also lovely but I'll have to guess the recipe. And my recipe book has a courgette and chocolate cake recipe too. But I have to get some soya-free chocolate to make that one. So courgette and pistachio sounds like a good one to try next .
I already have enough chutney

One without icing please Raisingirl
well ok, if you're sure - it's cream cheese icing though, so not too sweet ....
As an aside, I've eaten lots of flowers, but hadn't tried fennel flowers before. Delicious
