Verdict: An edible bribe

It turns out that Kathryn is working from home this week, so I couldn't give her her cake. So instead, we (the post-docs) ate it instead. And actually, it was quite a lot better than I'd thought - yes, it wasn't exactly an inspiring cake, but it was good. I overdid the chocolate a bit, but not horrifically so, and there was enough banana in it to give it a subtle fragrance, so all in all, it was a pretty decent cake. Nothing terribly exciting, I'll grant you, but enjoyable at least.
