rockpools This looks lovely! She's a cook I've heard of but never seen on anything, so I don't know her style at all. I really need to get back to it and try some different things too! 7y

Orange pound cake from this cookbook (I love Ina Garten). The recipe called for two 8-inch loaf pans but I went for a Bundt pan, even though it can be difficult to get the cake out of the pan. It's been glazed with orange syrup. I'll add the confectioner's sugar glaze on Saturday morning. New Year's Eve party is shaping up.
