Jacqueline
Now you know that was all looking pretty good to me, you shouldn’t have pointed out all the things that bothered you. I was thinking the cake looked good and what a pretty plate.
Helen
I’ll keep quiet next time then! I love my junk shop £1 plates.
Janice
This challenge is vexing me somewhat. I managed to get a bottle of rosehip cordial yesterday, so now I need to work out what to make. Your loaf cake looks very good.
Helen
Thank you. Amazingly it is not stale after being made 5 days ago. Even more amazingly there is still some left after 5 days.
Beth
I really should get back into the blogging events too. Using fruit cordial for the syrup is a great idea – will have to try that one. I have some Cherry and Vanilla Bottlegreen Cordial in my cupboard…..
Helen
Oh! That will be very nice indeed Beth.

Well it’s a pretty plate and a pretty tablecloth. As for the cake, it sounds divine. What a great idea to pour a rose flavour syrup over the cake. Raspberry and rose is such a delicious combination – I want some of that syrup for my very own!!!!!! Thanks for participating in the challenge.

Looks lovely – I know what you mean about loaf cakes, it’s so hard to find a plate they look right on!
Jeanne @ CookSister!
Mmm, interesting flavour combination! And yes, what the heck DO you photograph a loaf cake on?? A bread board? LOL!
Nic
I can almost smell the scented rose from here, it’s heavenly! And the white chocolate makes it one perfect cake!
