Don’t be completely fooled by the title of my blog … Mrs Organised! It does describe me most of the time but there are also occasions when I feel like a bit of a fraud … and this Christmas has proved to be one such time. Hubby and I went overseas for most of October and I feel like I’ve been on the back foot ever since. I haven’t planned the menu for Christmas Day yet, only half our decorations have made it out of the box and I haven’t bought a single a Christmas present yet … normally I’m done by the end of November. But, when all is said and done, I refuse to stress … I’m just going to make my life as easy as possible, cut back and only do the bare minimum. It feels good and I won’t be feeling guilty.
So this Christmas it’s all about shortcuts and what better way to alleviate the stress hormones than to let someone else do some of the work. I’ve worked with Cake2the Rescue before and you can read more about that here. Cake 2 the Rescue creates fantastic cake kits with everything you need to create amazing cakes with minimum effort. All you need to add are some fresh ingredients like eggs, milk and butter.
There are cakes for all occasions so whether you’re planning you child’s next birthday or looking for a cake for a special occasion like Halloween or Christmas, Cake 2 the Rescue will save you every single time.
I trialed this Christmas cake the other day and was again impressed by how quickly and easily it all came together. Mixing the ingredients and doing a little bit of preparation took no more than 15 minutes, the cake itself was in the oven for 1 hour and the decorating took me about 30 minutes … not bad for such an impressive result. I just love the look of this cake, it’s so festive and the vanilla cake inside will appeal to most people.
There’s still time to order one of these cakes and have it delivered in time for Christmas and Lou is currently offering a $5.00 discount for any of my readers who order. Simply head to the website: www.cake2therescue.com.au to see the range available and also place your order.
So tell me, how are your Christmas preparations going and what kind of cake or pudding will you be serving?
