I'm sorry folks, but I won this exchange :P and just to be clear: it's not my Santa's fault that I had to wait until today to open the best and most thoughtful Secret Santa gift ever: Deutsche Post/DHL workers were on strike

So, back to my amazing gift: I got a really beautifully made book about "retro baking" and every recipe in there looks simply fantastic. I can't decide what to bake first. There are cupcakes and cookies and tarts and pies and spongecakes and puffs and many other things, and I want to try all at once :D

Additionally I got a cookbook named "favourites" by Gary Mehigan with australian dishes and again everything looks so delicious. I'm so curious about all the different things I've seen in the book and can't wait to try some recipes this weekend.

And finally my Santa included a note pad with her favourite recipes and a second one where I'm going to enter my favourite recipes and send them over to Australia. This is a fantastic idea, hopefully I can start writing down my recipes for you tomorrow.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Sophie, you made this the best exchange I had so far
