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.

When you can't sleep you blog


Hi everyone,
Yes,you guessed it from the title. I'm up early and can't sleep. So I'd thought I'd show you my latest cake I made. This cake is just a simple butter cake with grated orange to give it a refreshing taste.

I actually make a mistake when preparing this one by adding the eggs when folding the flour and milk to the creamed butter and sugar. Usually, you add the eggs to the butter mixture beat it up then add the flour and milk. Having said that it was lighter and fluffier then usual.

I have to try this again to see if its a new way of making butter cakes or I was just lucky. It will be interesting to see. Here is the picture. If your wondering why there is only part of one cake, it was so delicious I couldn't get the camera quick enough before the family have already started without me.

A true statement to how delicious this one turned out. lol.
