Not too hard to guess what I have been doing most of today. I have a day off and had to make some slices for son's sports carnival on Friday, that's why the slices are still in slabs. Unfortunately it looks like it could be cancelled due to hot weather. I am sure these will be much appreciated by my ever loving family (when it comes to my homemade cakes etc) and they will definitely not go to waste.

Enjoy your day,
