Hi internet!
How is everything with you? I haven’t blogged for nearly a month, which is shameful, especially since I have so much baking to share.
I live in London now, which is every bit as awesome as I knew it would be- and is pretty much the reason why I have stayed offline, so I suppose that is a good thing!
I have just wandered home a bit dazed from the Prince Charles cinema in Leicester Square where we watched a sold-out version of sing along ‘Pitch Perfect’
, one of my most favourite films. They had a ‘fat Amy’ impersonator, and during the final scene these disco lights descended and it turned into mayhem. I came home to my flatmates watching Batman and discussing villains or catwomens or something. So I plugged in my earphones and switched on Drive-By Truckers Pandora (do it, seriously), and decided to write.
Its been really cool seeing new people begin to follow, and its amazing to see people from all over the world reading about a girl from the Cotswolds who started baking when her MA became utterly ridiculous. Write a comment if you enjoy this page, lets bond over stress induced baking- or one of my other interests; women’s history, marathons of Walking Dead and Parks and Recreation, Stephen King books and Zombie films.
So…to business, what have I made recently?
A few blogs back I wrote a review of the Glorio
us Pudding Club, a Cotswold eccentricity where you charge your glass to 7 puddings and lie on the ground for bit regretting your life choices.
So, for my darling boyfriend’s birthday I decided to make him my personal favourite from that day, the Passionfruit Charlotte. A Charlotte has a bajillion different forms, some with sponge fingers, but this one is made with sponge roll and a passionfruit mousse. It looks like a brain and is DEVILISH to prepare, but I love mousse…..and my boyfriend obvs.
I am not going to rip the recipe off on her, but here is the Pudding Club Facebook page- their recipe book is outstanding.

PICTURES OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN.
The result is just so lush. Its sharp, creamy, and definitely not too sweet. Its time consuming, and you have to spend 20% of your payslip on passion fruits but it was gone in minutes (between four, don’t worry). I can’t recommend it enough.
