What interesting stuff have I been up to?

Baking and photography. Sometimes the two have been related!

The photography has been for the 2014 Weekly Photo Challenge over on Google+. We get a new theme each week, and try to provide a new photo for that theme. I've been a little behind, so I played catch-up over the weekend, which resulted in a shot of some almond blossom, and a very weirdly SFish migraine-inspired long exposure as I travelled down a traffic tunnel. (I was the passenger!)

The baking was for a baking contest at work, with the results sold off to raise money for the RSPCA. We ended up with dozens of cakes to sell, but only four entrants: A strawberry tart, a white-chocolate mud cake, a stunning four-tier chocolate torte, and my mini Persian Love Cakes. Naturally I took photos there, too.

I am very proud to say that my gluten-free cakes not only held up against three professional-grade entries, but actually won. Now I go up against twenty more entrants for the state finals!
