Lindy in Australia – settling in

August 22, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Ummm who can resist a really good, moist chocolate cake? I’ve been experimenting with the Australian wedding favourite – mud cake. As many of you may know I am demonstrating at the National Cake Seminar in Sydney in August, so I thought a little background research would be good….. a great excuse to eat lots of chocolate!
