Story of our cake

Everything and everyone has a story to tell even things you take for granted. I decided to tell you one about our fruitful day.

We love fruit and veg, my little boy prefers strawberry to biscuit and I am very proud of him. I was absolutely delighted to find a farm nearby where you can pick your own fruit. I thought it was a great way for us to spend a family day out, teach our little son where the fruit and veg grows and then perhaps bake our cake. Even tough I am rubbish at cooking and baking but I gave it a go :). So here is what happened.

We started with red currant...

Hugo followed daddy's example but I am not sure how much ended in his basket ...

Gooseberry was definitely the favorite one, but no wonder. It was delicious...

Large and sweet, yummy...

Very proud little picker with his strawberries

Our baskets full of goodies...

Now, there should be a picture of baking a cake together, but as soon as we got home Hugo fell a sleep and woke up after 4 hours and this time daddy followed his example :)
 

Ready for the oven...

Tadaaa, our home-baked fruit cake. This time I kept close eye on the oven so it did not burn (the usual scenario) :))

I know, images of us eating it should follow, but I was busy eating and as soon as my boys woke up we finished it all. This time together :).
