A Brand New Baking Challenge: Calendar Cakes

What is Calendar Cakes?

Fancy a new challenge? Something that gets into the spirit of current events? You read our minds...baker extraordinaire Dolly Bakes and I have teamed up to create a brand new blogger challenge.

The idea is to link up all the wonderful seasonal things we make throughout the year to form a wall of wonder every month.So without further ado...our very first Calendar Cakes challenge is....

Euro 2012

Rachel from Dolly Bakes and I will be hosting the challenge alternately, so if you want to find out more about this month's Euro 2012 challenge then head on over to Dolly Bakes. I do hope you'll join us on this baking odyssey...whether you like football or not Calendar Cakes is open to interpretation, so get creative and have some fun! :-)
