The concept of Herman is simple and very lovely. You are given some cake mix to take care of for 10 days. You need to keep the lid off, stir the mixture every day and add flour, sugar and milk on two of the 10 days.
On day 9 the cake is divided into 4 sections, 3 portions are given away to friends who love baking and the 10 day process starts for them.
On day 10, delicious ingredients including sugar (and lots of it), apples, raisins and vanilla are added to the left over portion and you have a very delightful cake that you have well and truly waited for.
The beauty of course it that the process just goes on and on meaning the cake gets tastier and tastier and Herman’s friendship is spread all around!
