Baby showers, birthdays,
Royal weddings, wartime memories and Grandma's special recipe – we
managed to squeeze them all into June's Vintage theme. If you
haven't had to look at them yet the round up can be found here.
For those of you who haven't joined in
before this a cake making challenge for anyone who loves to bake
cakes and share them. You don't have to be a blogger to join in
simply upload your photos and descriptions to your social media
accounts. Full instructions are here.
June has
been an exciting month for me as a football and tennis fan. The
arrival of July adds another favourite sport of mine in the form of
cycling and the Tour de France. Even more excitingly the first two
stages are in Yorkshire – yes, the home of JibberJabber Towers.
Therefore the theme for this month's Love Cake, or should I say
Gâteau
d'amour, is FRENCH.
I'm
looking for classic French cakes with apples, almonds, cherries and
apricots. Petites treats such as madeleines and macrons. Perhaps you
have a bake that reminds of you of France or something you tried
whilst there. Anything remotely Tour de France related is of course
very welcome. If you get desperate try adding an 'à
la' or 'au' to the recipe title as in Gâteau
au chocolat. Regulars
will know how lenient I am – I just want to see your cakes!
Here's how to join in:
1. Please make sure your entry conforms
to this month's theme of FRENCH.
2. Post your photographs and
description on your blog, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram,
Tumblr or Google+ - just make sure they are for public viewing and
can be seen by anyone. All photographs must be your own original
image and not taken from another source. You can carefully style your
photos or take a quick snap on your mobile – either is fine!
3. Enter the URL (web address) of your
post into the Linky at the bottom of this post. Once the link closes
on Monday 28th July 2014 at 23:55 no more entries will be
accepted.
4. If you are putting your post on your
blog please display the Love Cake badge and link back to this blog
post. Old posts are accepted but please update them with the Love

if you can.

7. I would love to read about the recipe you have used
to bake your cake. If the recipe is not yours please respect
copyright and do not reproduce the original recipe in full but credit
the source and link back to it.
8. You can link up your post to as many other blogging
challenges you wish if it fits the theme. A comprehensive list can be
