Pistachio surprise

Made these this afternoon. Pistachio and raspberry buttercream. Only Rory knows the secret as to why they are a surprise and hopefully he won't tell!!

Plums

Thanks to Rory for the plums. I have got a cake in the oven, an upside down plum and almond cake. Smells nice at the moment, waiting to see what it will look like. Plums halved and laid in lined tin with a drizzle of golden syrup. Then
175g of butter and sugar (creamed), 3 eggs, almond extract, squeeze of lemon, 150g s/r flour and 40g ground almonds. 170°c -fan for 45 mins .Not the prettiest cake in the world tho!!
