The Tassimo Blogger Challenge for September was to put on a Tassimo Coffee morning for our friends in support of the world's biggest coffee morning by Macmillan Cancer Support.
I don't know anyone who hasn't had their lives touched by cancer in some way. What a worthwhile cause to give to. My mother has had cancer twice now, breast and lung. She is a survivor.
Today on September 27th Kenco will team up with Macmillan Cancer Support to help stage the World's Largest Coffee Morning. I was planning on having some girls over to a coffee morning here (hot choccie for me), but as I haven't been well this week, I just wasn't able to pull it all together in time. But . . . I am hosting a virtual Coffee Party and you're all invited!
This is what's on the menu! I hope you enjoy! And don't forget to accompany it all with a nice hot cup of Kenco, if that's your wish!
Cappuchino Brownies. Moist and delicious with a mild coffee mocha flavor and a rich white chocolate frosting.
Lemon Drops. Oh boy, these are very moreish, with lemon curd and almonds.
Easy Jam Biscuits. These are a real favourite around here! Very nice with a hot cuppa!
Lemon and Jam Slices. We love jam. We love Lemon. Together they are absolutely heavenly!
Lemon and Pistachio Cake. Oh boy, this is the bomb. What's not to like about a moreishly drenched lemon cake stogged full of nuts!!
White Chocolate Drizzled Orange Cake. Oh boy. You make this with orange curd and it's gorgeous!
Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies. Crisp and buttery and impossible to resist.
So while I know that this is really only a virtual Coffee Morning, I do hope you will hop on over to the Macmillan Coffee Morning page and make a donation. I can't think of a worthier cause.
On the 28th of September this year the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is going to be taking place. This is a fantastic one day fundraising event hosted by Macmillan Cancer Support to raise money for people with lives affected by cancer.
Silver Spoon, the homegrown sugar people, are the official sugar sponsor for the event, and this year have decided to launch a fantastic competition as part of their activity. On the 24th August 2012 Silver Spoon and Macmillan are launching
Silver Spoons Little Local Hero Awards.
They are scouring the country for local heroes under the age of 18 who have done something truly special. Your local little hero could have looked after their little sister when they were ill, gone to great lengths to make Mother’s Day very special, or done something fantastic to raise money for charity.
If you know someone under 18 in your local area who you think would be a worthy winner, just follow this link and explain in less than 100 words who you are nominating, why, and what you would bake them to say thank you

Master Pâtissier Eric Lanlard, star of Channel 4’s Baking Mad with Eric Lanlard, will choose a Silver Spoon National Little Hero and to celebrate he will bake them a special cake of their choice! 10 runners up will also receive a Silver Spoon Baking Hamper packed full of exciting treats.
There are sure to be some amazing stories from our local little heroes all over the country, but in the meantime don’t forget to register to hold your own coffee morning on the 28th September, just follow this link and you can help to raise money for people with lives affected by cancer.
