We are blogging a lot of cakes, so to economise on space, I’ve paired Mika and I’s latest baking attempts.

Last week was my turn to bake a cake. I was nervous. There’s a lot of pressure, and it is no easy task! So I chose to bake a loaf (but relying on one design seemed to be too much of a case of “putting all your eggs in one basket” so I went for two). A blueberry and apple loaf, and a pistachio loaf (recipes from [Hummingbird Bakery](http://www.hummingbirdbakery.com/ "Hummingbird Bakery")).

This week was Mika’s turn, and he didn’t disappoint. A beautiful New York cheesecake (and he had to buy cake baking equipment especially). Go team!
