I was thinking maybe the honey taste will make the kids not like it. I was in for a surprise as both the cakes disappeared shortly and they were disappointed that I didn't make more.
The Sunday does end up being so hectic. How much can one plan for a single day, and needless today my colleagues commented on how I am always tired on a Monday!

Honey is a good way to sweeten in place of sugar. I've been wanting to try replacing half the sugar with honey in cakes. N ow I'm tempted to try soon
