Eve and Leah entered their first ever competition today with their healthy take (well let’s be honest, mine really, they can’t even say glycaemic index, let alone give a stuff about it) on blueberry muffins. And here they are,

They spent the morning writing and decorating the recipe and baking the muffins. Then we had an anxious wait for the results

Not to mention the stress of keeping two excited five year olds quiet and still in a vintage clothes and furniture emporium. A display case of cocktail glasses and coffee cups very nearly overbalanced

At last the results were announced. Eve and Leah didn’t win first or second prize but they did get a runner up prize. Here they are with the judges, Palmerston Chef Jamie Younger at the top and Jilly Goolden of ‘Britain’s Best Dish’ fame. At this point Leah just had to sample her blueberry muffin!

It was great fun, all in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society, and we’ll definitely enter again next year.
