I received an email at work today that there will be a big cake bake off this Friday!
Apparently each team has to nominate somebody to bake the best cake with chances of winning, and my team nominated me!
I'm SO excited, a thousand cake recipes whirled through my head at the thought of a baking competition; should I do the traditional Victorian Sandwich?
Or A big fat Chocolate Mud Cake?
Or one of my own creations, the Cheese-less Cheesecake?
My sister highly recommended I do her famous Mars Bar Cheesecake, it is rather devilish and extremely rich so I'm thinking maybe not this time, if the judge has a slice of that cake they wont be able to try any others. Although on the other hand? hahaha no that's a bit evil and I'd like to win on my own merits.

My partner strongly urged me to make the Victorian Sandwich which is his favourite, due to the fluffy texture and the home made strawberry jam. But again I really want to wow the judges and do something no body else will think of.

With melted chocolate and cheesecakes swirling in my mind I went to my old favourite Nigella Lawson, who is the master artist of deserts amongst many other things. And of course Nigella did not let me down, I'm going to bake Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Cheesecake. The smooth rich creamy taste of cheesecake with the tingling sense of chocolate delighting every bite! mmmm I think this one will be the winner!

I'll post photo's and keep you updated!

Wish me luck!!
