Coffee doesn't taste as nice without a biscuit or a flapjack or a pastry or a piece of cake between gulps, does it?

I can send you a scone bags if that will help your coffee go down smile cheese or fruit?

Coffee doesn't taste nice at all and I have gluten allergy! sad

A nice cup of tea with a slice of gluten free lemon cake courtesy of M&S is fab though. smile

Fruit, please, glass, and lashings of butter. smile

Bags Thu 26-Apr-12 10:55:58

Unsalted.

Bags Thu 26-Apr-12 10:56:12

The butter I mean.

Bags Thu 26-Apr-12 10:56:41

i'm not worried about my salt intake. I just like unsalted butter on scones.

Anagram Thu 26-Apr-12 10:58:14

Tea for me, too, and coffee cake! brew

glassortwo Thu 26-Apr-12 10:58:28

I've just made a victoria sponge for my daughter's birthday tomorrow. It's still warm. I'd love to eat a slice right now.

butter warm cheese scone have to be high on my fav list of comfort food grin

MrsJamJam Thu 26-Apr-12 11:15:12

I can send some clotted cream from Devon - perfect on a fresh warm scone with home made jam. Who is good at jam?

Stop it! My mouth is watering and I have cake in the freezer...

soop Thu 26-Apr-12 11:31:29

Ariadne It's not doing either of us any good if it remains in the freezer. At what time shall I pop over for a generous wedge? wink

imjingl Thu 26-Apr-12 11:33:29

Frozen cake is nice Ariadne. [devil]

glassortwo Thu 26-Apr-12 11:34:54

Anagram Thu 26-Apr-12 11:38:13

Ariadne Thu 26-Apr-12 13:55:45

soop Thu 26-Apr-12 16:54:41

glamma Lemon Drizzle cake...wicked grin. I'm also partial to carrot cake, providing it's lovely and moist. smile

glammanana Thu 26-Apr-12 17:16:09

soop drizzle cake now out of oven and just been drizzled it is massive I used advice given by glass a week or so ago and added baking powder with SR flour and boy how it has risen,will have to send half down to DD for children to have for supper I can't afford to have it sitting in my kitchen shouting eat me .grin I like carrot cake mum used to make a fab one with a handful of walnuts thrown in for good measure.

ooh glamma hope I'm not too late lemon drizzle cake is my very favourite, please save me a big slice and I'll get the kettle on. I've just got in from a long day and a long drive so that will go down a treat.

I love this thread, can it stay on here permanently; I may be able to fill myself up through virtual eating and lose some weight wink
