We’re on a roll!

I started off the day with my usual goal for this summer’s SAHM work: Survive the day with the kids. That’s it. But when they’re being good (and letting mommy sleep in until 8:30am even!), I tend to forget this bare minimum standard and raise the bar a little.
So “baking” was placed on our To-Do list for the day… we’d recently acquired some freshly-picked strawberries and I wanted to make a little treat with some of the last ones to put in the little plastic basket when we returned it to its owners.
Our inspiration for a recipe, oddly enough, came from Harmony’s DS game! 
But since “Cooking Mama 2″ doesn’t supply an accurate ingredient list (let alone specific quantities), it was a search on the ‘net that led us to a real recipe for Strawberry Roll Cake.
We started with this one, but made our own substitutions. For example, we didn’t have any caster/castor sugar (and didn’t even know what it was until we searched for it and got some answers), so we hoped regular fine sugar would be fine (ha! no pun intended!). Oh, and we used vanilla instead of strawberry essence.
