Summer Learning Journey - Week 2 - Day 5 - Bonus Activity

For this Summer Learning Journey I had to tell what is my favourite sweet treat or dessert. After that I had to find the recipe for my favourite dessert with a picture. I learnt that Rachel (Manager of the Summer Learning Journey) favourite sweet treat is cookies with cup of tea

My favourite dessert is chocolate mud cake with ice cream. I usually have this on special events like birthdays.
