Danza and Baking!

Butterfly Cakes

After my DANZA Class this afternoon at the Village Hall, I felt energised and in the mood for some Baking! A little ironic really as I am trying to cut down on sweet stuff and have joined the DANZA class to try and get myself fit! However, I really enjoyed my afternoon of baking, I haven't made cakes for years, so I was quite proud that they turned out so well! 

Butterfly cakes have always been a favourite, probably because I used to help my Mam with the baking when I was a little girl. She was a fabulous cook, she was a very gifted lady, baking and cooking were two of the many things she could turn her hand too. Music was her forte, she was foremost a Pianist, but what ever instrument you gave her she would be able to play something on it. She was a pianist for a Concert Party in Wales, they were called "Adar Y Banc" the singers and musicians would come to our home to practise. Those are such precious memories. Wonderful days, full of fun and laughter and so much talent.

Even though it has now been 28 years since we lost her, I think about her almost every day, if not every day, as I do my Dad who passed away in 2010. They smile at me from pictures in frames even as I write this.
