Boudicca bakes

Boudicca bakes because she enjoys it and because that’s something one can do when one has kids. ‘Boudicca bakes’ is the name of her cake business that she’s been working on for a while. 10 years, to be precise, of perfecting brownies, flapjacks and other sweet delights.
For my food project she very kindly baked a flapjack covered with yoghurt.

I brought the flapjack cake home, put it on my kitchen counter. That evening it started quickly disappearing from the counter. I had to photograph it before it was gone. So here is a photo of it midway through to disappearing.
