Delving into the Delectable World of Scottish Shortbread Cookies

When it comes to comfort treats that have stood the test of time, Scottish shortbread cookies reign supreme. These simple yet utterly delicious treats have a rich history, an exquisite taste, and a unique charm that has captivated taste buds around the world for centuries. Let's take a journey back in time to explore the origins of Scottish shortbread cookies, the varieties that have evolved over the years, and the simple elegance of their ingredients. The origins of Scottish shortbread cookies can be traced back to medieval times in Scotland. Initially known as "biscuit bread," these delightful treats were made from leftover bread dough enriched with sugar and spices. Over time, as ingredients became more accessible, the recipe evolved into what we now recognize as shortbread. During the 16th century, shortbread was considered a luxury only enjoyed by the wealthy due to the high cost of its ingredients. It was often served during special occasions and holidays. Ove

A Beer Birthday Cake That Didn't Make It...


This was an attempt to make a Beer shape Cake, for my boss' birthday.  I used a real beer glass which was filled with a chocolate fudge cake, fresh cream and strawberries.  Unfortunately the cake did not make it to its final destination.
Since I had a feeling about the "disaster" to be, I baked a back up cake.  Same batter, plain decoration. At least he had a cake... :-)!!
Happy Birthday Boss!!

    I can see how transporting your creations can become a problem issue. Reminds me of the challenge competitions on TV, great creation but when they had to move it to another table it collapsed. Sorry it did not make it to the destination, however, it does look pretty amazing in your picture. Very creative.

    I still think it looks fine - but, not quite up to your usual standard.

    I made a cake too - chocolate - however, it doesn't like any of your creations - so also not up to your standard of decorating. I've never been taught. I just do my own thing - mostly my talent lies in making low-carb, gluten-free foods that mimic our old favorites. lol

    Very creative but a little over the top..lol simply because having two 'bad habits" in one cake from a sugar fix to a alcohol fix seems a little too much indulgence but it was a interesting idea and if was eaten on ocations and not regularly it might have been fun for some people.
