Welcome to Runawaywombat

Hi and Welcome. I hope you enjoy my blog and hope we can share my love of cooking and making craft items which I have made for many years. Juggling motherhood and work has been fun and a learning experience. Runawaywombat is an Etsy site where I create classic items which are vibrant, practical and fun. Many items from Aprons, Tea Towels, make up and storage bags. You can see my items by going to www.etsy.com/shop/runawaywombat. On the food front I made Lemon slice and honestly I can't make enough of it as it run off the plate with my family.

Plum cake made - Here is the results



The blood plum cake was made and tasted. It was nice however it did have a syrup made from sugar, water and lemon juice which I didn't make. This would have made the cake fabulous when added to the cake at the end.

But I am trying, oh so trying, to loose the weight so I didn't add it. This cake really has potential for variations to it. I thought of adding uncooked apple and mixing it thought the cake mix with the blood plums for colour and texture to the cake.

I was pleasantly surprised and will be making this cake again. I always try what I cook, you know, a girl has got to eat, and by the way it was cake and cream. Having said that, I'm now going to the gym now to burn it off.

If you are wondering why there is no picture of a whole cake, I was cutting, serving and eating before I remembered I had not taken a picture. After all it was cake and cream. Will keep you posted.
