Clandestine Cake Club Bolton - The Nutcracker

So I'm playing catch up after a week of gallivanting. Last week we had a nutty themed cake club in the shape of 'The Nutcracker'. This was a theme picked by the club members, as it was decided (whilst eating cake) that they bloody love a moist, nutty bake.

This month we went to the Doffcocker Inn in Bolton; a proper old world drinker's pub with a fantastic function room. I think most of the regulars were pretty bemused by a tribe of bakers heading upstairs with huge cakes. Worry not - we assisted with the soaking up of alcohol by sharing our cake with them!

Despite losing a couple of people to illness, we still had twelve beauts. They included:

• Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake
• Almond and Pistachio Cake
• Chocolate, Caramel and Nut Cake
• Walnut Loaf Cake
• Almond and Pistachio Cake with Lemon Drizzle
• Almond Butter Bundt Cake
• Pistachio Loaf
• Nectarine and Almond Cake
• Peanut Butter Cup
• Semolina Lemon and Almond Cake
• Sugar Plum Fairy and Almond Cake
• White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Cake

Cake club organisers, I can highly recommend a nutty theme! These cakes were amongst some of the best we've had. Thanks to our wonderful group for yet another brilliantly diverse range of cakes. See you next month...
