Cakebook 2012 is an event organised by Newcasle Gateshead EAT Festival 2012. The event calls upon bakers amateur (like me) and professionals to bake cakes and craft them into a building...
In 2010 it was a building/structure from Newcastle/Gateshead, and I baked The Bridge Hotel, which I was really pleased with.
In 2011 it was a building/structure from the North East and Yorkshire, and I baked Bamburgh Castle, which I was quite disappointed with.
And this year we're required to bake/build a building/structure from one of the 10 'regions' across the UK.
I said in 2011 I wouldn't do it again, because I spent so much time baking in the run up to the event, that I didn't take part in some of the other events in the programme.
But I've found a building that I'd love to bake, and after
my own personal disappointment with last years cake, I need to 'fix' it
by doing a really really good bake this year....
Oh yes, I've signed up, I've agreed to bake the gherkin building and the plans have been drawn up...
I spent the last couple of days planning things out: height-width, materials, construction plans, which will be posted to this blog, but i didn't want to spoil all of the suprises straight away...
Oh yes, and Mr Lisa doesn't know yet....
