About six months ago it was my birthday. It landed on a week day, so I didn't go in. I have a strict "no work" policy when it comes to my birthday and I simply cannot understand why people would happily go in if they had the option of taking a day off to spoil themselves silly, but anyhow, I digress.
Because I took the day off I forgot all about the office rule of bringing cakes in for everyone. And as I said at the start of this post, that was about six months ago. Yup, that's right, I never got around to making any baked goods for the office girls and boys. Oops.
So last night I decided to do something about it and make some mini banoffee pies. I discovered the easiest recipe via a guest post by Talia Christine on Elsie Larson's blog A Beautiful Mess. Incidently, do any of you read this blog? If you don't then you should definitely check it out, the girl is so inspiring it makes my head spin. But I digress again.
They came out pretty well and even though I'm not much of a caramel fan, I've eaten enough of them to mean that there will be no baked treats making their way in to the office tomorrow. Once again, oops.
Oooh just lost my comment somewhere :( Was saying that in all the jobs I've had when it is someone's birthday everyone chips in to buy them a cake - sounds a better deal than bringing your own in!! These look so yum, banoffee is prob my fav dessert :) x
