Let’s face it, we all love eating cake or is that too much of a universal statement?  Be that as it may, what better way to beat the guilt trip than to ensure there’s ‘one of your five a day’ on the menu?  Such was the theme for Saltaire Clandestine Cake Club’s April event.  We had fruit:  pear, apples, elderflower, lime, plums, orange, fig and banana.  We had veg:  courgette, beetroot and squash.  It was interesting that we didn’t have one carrot cake – one which I would have expected.

We had a fantastic selection of cakes all with exceptionally creative interpretations of the theme.  I was delighted to be able to welcome a few of our coeliac suffering members who had four delicious gluten free cakes to choose from.  I don’t think they could believe their luck!

Our hosts for the evening were The Terrace in Saltaire and we couldn’t have been looked after better. A very big thank you to them!  It proved to be a great venue, being tucked up on the first floor area all to ourselves.

Here are some piccies of the evening:

Only crumbs left

As there was only crumbs left at the end, everyone seemed to have given their thumbs up to this month’s theme and left feeling the healthier for it!
