Candyfloss & Banana Bread

Now I don't get on with the kitchen, I can burn water, so when I decided to bake Banana Bread to take to my Brownie Packs' Fairtrade Night, everyone quaked with fear.

My Brownie unit is taking part in the http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/ world record attempt for as many people all over the world to eat a Fairtrade banana between noon on Fri 6th March & noon on Sat 7th March, so tonight we're meeting up with another unit and have turned it into a Fairtrade themed evening.

My culinary skills were put to the test when the butter wouldn't blend in, but once I got the electric mixer involved things seemed to go to plan.

With a cooking time of 1.5 hours I even managed to make quick card while I was waiting.

My card is for this weeks challenge over at Lili Of The Valley. The theme is "Bright & Beautiful".
I've been dying to try out my stamps from the new "Daisy & Dandelion" range since they arrived.

The stamp is "Candyfloss" from the Marshmallow & Candyfloss pack, the backing paper is from "DCWV - Blossoms & Butterflies" Mat Stack and the stamped greeting is from the new "Clare Curds Signature Range - Sentiments".

Oh by the way - my banana bread didn't turn out to bad. Martyn even said it tastes quite good. A triumph at last !!
