The concept

Chances are, if you're reading this you're interested in being a part of the Cake Collective. And frankly, who wouldn't be?

If you fit this description...read on! The basic idea is that we can give ourselves an excuse to bake more cakes by rebranding this activity and blogging about it. That way, we can share good recipes/epic failures with each other and anyone else who stumbles across us. Double win.

 

I hope it might work like this:

1. Member of the Cake Collective spies a delicious looking recipe for a baked creation.
2. Aforementioned member bakes said recipe, and is delighted with the results.
3. They take some pictures of the finished product (and anything extra - like the making or enjoying parts).
4. They type up the recipe, with their own interpretations/substitutions/tips for success/advice for nervous bakers.
5. They credit the source of the recipe (if it is completely original then you can credit yourself too!)
6. They email stuff from 3. 4. and 5. to me (gemma.cheney@googlemail.com)
7. I do some computer magic and post it on here.


The idea is simple, but there is plenty of room for embellishment. Including cake parties, cake themes, cake challenges etc. I'm even open to including *savoury baking.*

So, let this be the excuse you've been waiting for to break out those recipe books and get cooking.
