Chocolate Finger & Maltesers Birthday Cake

I decided I would make a birthday cake for my Mum's birthday tomorrow. This is how it turned out - 

Although Mum said only a little cake - I turned out to be massive! Enough to feed an army - hehe! Basically, it is a chocolate & beetroot cake in both layers smothered with a chocolate butter cream to stick chocolate fingers on and the ribbon holds them in place, then finally adding chocolate maltesers on top!

Cherry & Chocolate Brownies

So after trying the chocolate & cherry brownies using the Sainsbury's recipe, I decided to make some more cherry & chocolate brownies as they were so tasty when I made them previously - with added chocolate chips and fudge pieces too... They were very yummy - the fudge went soft and chewy. 

This time I also used fresh chicken eggs I was given by one of my friends. 

I would definitely make these brownies again but I think I would add even more chocolate chips and more fudge this time too. I also made some chocolate brownies, using the same recipes but without the cherries and they were delicious and chewy too - a big hit!
