Simnel Cake

I made this cake for Easter - but forgot the fluffy yellow chicken for a centrepiece.

Our son, Neil, made lamb casserole for Easter Sunday evening meal with other ingredients of celery, carrots, prunes, cinnamon, cumin, a tin of tomatoes, stock, slow-cooked in the oven for around 2 hours, served with couscous....

Such a delicious looking Simnel Cake, it sounds that you had a feast fit for the King on this Easter Sunday!

Yum! Thanks for sharing. This reminds me of Pacman LOL. Now that dates me.

[Dianne]

The cake looks delicious and the casserole sounds just as good.

[Joanne Diochon]

I had to go look up Simnel cake and, having done so, must say I think I’d love a pice of that.

[Milanie]

Sounds like you ate very well on Easter.

My sister & I were talking about Simnel Cakes the other day. I was just saying I only ever knew our mum & my sister who makes a Simnel cake! Now Hazel does!

Pat, you are making me smile!

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely looking cake. Aren’t the marzipan balls supposed to represent the apostles?

[wendy frost]

Your evening casserole sounds delicious and the lovely cake with the marzipan topping too.

[Shutterbug]

That sounds delicious. You don’t need a chicken on that good looking cake.

@carole_sandford

Yes, there are supposedly marzipan balls representing the apostles but I always use chocolate mini eggs to decorate my cake, not being religious. Contradiction in terms maybe!

@shutterbug49

Thank you. I did think of putting some edible pansies in the centre but somehow didn't get round to it.

Super looking cake, despite the missing chicken!
