The Great Bloggers Bake Off - Week 9 Round Up

Another week and some more fabulous bakes. There were a lot of canapés, as we expected, a few Opera cakes, as we'd hoped, and only one Charlotte Royale, which we are not at all surprised about - on the show they seemed like so much effort and didn't look particularly nice either.

There are some great ideas for canapés here and if you are planning on having a Christmas or New Year party these would be great.

Myself & Jenny were very impressed by the effort that went into making the four amazing Opera cakes and they all look very tempting. We therefore decided this week to present the prestigious title of Star Baker Week 9 to an extremely delicious sounding cake and one that we both agreed on without discussion........

{drum roll......}

The Star Baker title goes to.....
