Turns out you can freeze it although it may go a bit crumbly so it's on my to do list.I did some baking this afternoon. It's ages since I've done some and it was very therapeutic
Was that the pink slice? Not sure what it's made of but it looked lush.

Yes! It's similar to shortbread but has egg yolk and baking powder in so it's more soft and cake like.
I used this recipe if you want to have a go:

Thank you ever so much xx, I enjoyed doing them, felt i'd achieved something and they look canny on my pink sitting room wallYou are so creative! I love both pieces as they are both so bright and uplifting. ♥
By the time I'm let out again, I'm going to be a weeble!

You ever tried mandalas LOP? Reckon you'd like them, therapeutic and artistic.
Nope, but I've made my vase structure - the bugger has cracked a bit but it's not dropped to bits so it'll be getting painted over the weekend
. The mandalas look canny, i'll more than likely give them a bash at some point, thank you for the suggestion xxDelia’s is excellent. Available for free on her website.
I use her recipe ( I own most of her books including the cake one) but prefer whole cherries and quite a lot more than she says but that’s because I always liked the M&S cherry cake with whole cherries. Still find they’re inclined to sink but there are so many they struggle to do so! It’s a family favourite. I used Mary Berry’s recipe for American Spiced Carrot Cake this week which worked very well. Didn’t bother frosting it - trying to watch my weight - and it keeps well. It’s available here

Recipe 86: American spiced carrot traybake
Happy weekend everyone! I hope many of you are thinking of doing some baking this weekend, even I am planning to make some of Mary’s hot cross buns (guilty treat). Since I’ve not eaten …
I have tried that, also tossing them in the ground almonds, washing and drying them etc. I think whole cherries are maybe just a bit big or something? When I’ve accidentally bought halves they don’t seem to sink in the same way. It doesn’t happen every time to the same degree either even though I always use the same recipe. I really like Aldi glacé cherries too. They’re cheaper and that really nice dark red colour.If you keep a spoonful of the flour back and coat the cherries in flour and then mix them in, it stops them sinking. My Great Nana taught me that
You really do have an eye for decoration and colour. Versatile too!
