I'm thinking my plan of attack will be as follows:
- anything with a crown = jubilee
- anything with a flag = olympics
Bring on the summer of baking!

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.

Do you think you could come up with an Olympic biscuit idea? I'm carrying the Olympic torch on 9th July and will be having people back for tea and cake after. I've got cake in mind and will do cupcakes in union jack wrappers but how to make biscuits fit in with the theme?!
Oooh, lovely! Such good fun to use special cases for special occasions, can't wait to see what you come up with!
Since you've already visited my little blog would you like one of my 'Queen for the day' union jack inspired cards? Your foodie celebrations sound super!
Verity,
What about biscuits like the olympic rings?
I was just in Lakeland the other day and had to stop myself from buying everything! Cant wait to see what you make with this box of goodies :)
Yay - looks like a fun collection.
I love the crown cutters! I keep meaning to buy more baking supplies. You have reminded me :)
what a fantastic parcel, I'm off to Lakeland today, do hope they have some things left on their shelves!
parcels from lakeland = pure, unadulterated joy + unbridled happiness. enjoy!
I love getting things in the post - even better if they are things from Lakeland! I can't wait to see what your are going to make:)
I'm away that weekend so won't get any jubilee baking, very jealous!
