Getting warmer by degrees

#35 Cook through the Edmonds cookbook
Off to a farewell function for a work colleague today. We have to take a plate so I thought I would make sponge drops and take them. What a disaster. They looked lovely in the oven but as soon as I took them out into our unheated house they flattened like paper. Also they stuck to the baking paper and I had to scrape them off. They were yummy (like the edges of a sponge cake) but you'd really need to make them when the kitchen is warm. (As an example - I had a banana that was sitting out on the bench - it felt like it had been in the fridge.)
I really wanted to make carrot cake so I was doubly ticked when the sponge drops didn't come out.
