Two months of deliciousness

Many thanks for your patience with my leadership incompetence, loyal CEPR Cake Clubbers. I have filled you all in on the churros y chocolate debacle, but never fear, tomorrow is a new day. In the meantime, we get Waitrose cake.

Also, after my abortive attempts at automated rota-ing (can anybody who is now a member of my personal calendar just, y'know, delete that), we've come full-circle to the good old-fashioned blog. Two more months of rota here! Let me know if we need to make any swaps!

6 July-Nadine (who cannot get out of it this time by hopping off to Curacao!)

13 July-Lorna (we look forward to experiencing further delights from M&S)

20 July-Anil (No further exploitation of children this time, please. Poor Thomas.)

27 July-Hiral (Lent is over, so we expect some proper chocolate)

3 August-Claudia (Disappearing cake won't elude me this time. I know that trick now.)

10 August-Cathy (who will she outsource her baking to this time? wink wink)

17 August-Beatrix (we've been told to expect Brazilian bol, much to mine and Claudia's delight)

24 August-Alex (If we're doing themed Cake Club nowadays, how bout a Great Gatsby cake? The baker must wear a very large hat.)

31 August-Rachel (Very deeply impressed by the cupcake photos and can hardly wait for this!)

7 September-Stephen (ooh, which country will he profess his patriotism for this time?)

13 September-Robert (TUESDAY edition, as usual for the IT crowd. Robert, I am giving you a dispensation to buy a cake--or even a pizza--after seeing the agonizing calisthenics you went through to give us cake last time. Although it was de-lish.)
