It’s been agonisingly slow waiting for the Energy Consultant’s assessment to come through, at long last enabling the building warrant to be finalised.

The topping is absolutely optional. The picture I took was before this was added. It’s an easy method and very simple ingredients, as well as a delicious cake 🍰
