Baking Day - Blogtoberfest 2010 - Day 9

 Today is a baking day.

Strawberry plait

ricotta and cherry plait

banana cake

The Scottish relatives have arrived.

There are lots of family gatherings planned - the "card" night is tonight. That is where all the card fanatics play canasta and shout at each other, and the civilised members of the family retreat to a quiet area to converse!
MATH is one of 11 children, so add spouses, children, aunts and cousins and you have one huge  party.
I apologise in advance if the noise travels to your neck of the woods!
...and just so you don't think we are completely sweets laden - 

Old fashioned circa 1980's layered salad...yummo!
