‘Tis true – I am off on my hols, hence this early update. I am heading off to a land that adores and respects cake and hope to return with lots of photos of glorious baked goods that I have eaten!

A cake or bake for every county
Look at this great website
I'm a woman on a mission:
Follow my ambitious attempt to find a recipe for a cake, biscuit, pie or tart for every single one of the 39 traditional English counties!

About Me
So, the answer to the question you’re all asking: who am I? Well, a superhero never reveals their identity. I think it’s stated somewhere in the contract when you sign up for superhero-dom. Let’s just call me THE CAKED CRUSADER. By day (and night if I’m being honest) a mild-mannered City professional, but at weekends I become THE CAKED CRUSADER. Tirelessly fighting anti-cake propaganda and cake-related injustices – for SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE, ALWAYS NEEDS CAKE (we’ll just skip over the fact that it’s usually me).
Batman’s got the batmobile, batcave etc. Superman does just great what with being able to fly and being really strong. Spiderman’s got that web thing going on. But I have better than them. For I have a credit card and could get one of these:

The purpose of my blog is simple – to spread the word that CAKE IS GOOD.
Yes, it is calorific; that is why it tastes so nice.
Yes, too much of it is bad for you; that’s what ‘too much’ means.
Yes, we’re all told to eat healthily and we know that we should. But ask yourself this – and look very deeply into your soul before answering – when has a cup of tea and a carrot ever cheered you up? However, put that carrot into a cake and happiness will ensue. Quod erat demonstrandum – CAKE IS GOOD.
This site will catalogue cakes I have unleashed unto the world and my thoughts thereon.
By the way, I will never recommend how many portions you should get out of a cake because we’re all different. Plus, it will be very embarrassing when I say it serves 4 and you get 20 portions out of it.
WARNING: Too much time spent on this blog may cause hunger.

About Me
- The Caked Crusader
- I am a 40-something Chartered Accountant working in the square mile. My main hobbies at the moment are baking, and setting the world record for the number of cake tins owned by one person. I spend far too much time watching Spongebob Squarepants and would love to try a Krabby Patty...I know, I know - it's not real.
