Baking Frenzy

It’s been a crazy weekend of non-stop baking this weekend. I got a bit of a crazy desire to bake, sparked mostly by the gift of an amazing book “The cook’s book” from the weekly times. Anyway … we kicked off with scones on Saturday morning .. followed by home made pasta that evening .. then on sunday morning we had the croissants I prepared on saturday
