This weekend we were incredibly lucky with the weather on the Rock. Sun, no wind and temperatures of around 18 degrees Celsius. What better way to enjoy such ‘winter’ days but with a cake picnic!

I baked the recently mentioned award-winning courgette cake with cream cheese frosting, made some cookie cupcakes (which were a fail in some ways and not a fail in others, but more on that later), and brought coffee, tea and soft drinks. Close friends and family brought their cake appetites and we enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at the southernmost point of Gibraltar, Europa Point. On a non-windy day (like yesterday) this is the perfect place for a picnic with its beautiful views of the lighthouse, Africa and the actual Rock.

I even took some photos – the quality isn’t great but I was too busy soaking up the sun and eating cake to spend more time with the camera!
