Lemon drizzle isn’t a photogenic cake! And I couldn’t cut either to see inside as I’m giving them both away!

Austerity’s children – those born after 2010 – now account for 3.4m of Britain’s 4.3m children in poverty, with an extra 100k children pushed into poverty every year. The damage to them runs deep and will have devastating consequences. [Thread] theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Chai tea crème caramel for dessert week #gbbotwitterbakealong. Milk was infused with tea, green cardamom, cinnamon, black peppercorns, fennel seeds and cloves. I think it tasted really good (she says modestly!) @Rob_C_Allen @thebakingnanna1 @marybethxx6

Custard creams for #gbbotwitterbakealong. These are gluten free and say “eat me” rather than the traditional stamp! Thank you to @ImmyRuth for the stamp, I’ll let you have a biscuit later! @Rob_C_Allen @thebakingnanna1
