    Oh Bu@@er... My Day Went Like This....?!

    When you are seriously trying to achieve something good, just for yourself, your adorable 'other' or someone else that you truly care about, I fail to understand just why everything that CAN go so positively wrong, just Ruddy Well Does...........

    I'm making an effort this year to put back into a local Village what they have given to us, in terms of friendship, by making a cake that the whole community can be a part of, and with this damp weather, the icing is just NOT wanting to dry out at all, which is making it's very existence a complete NO-NO.

    Are you doing something lovely to make someone else smile this week too?

      I was up til the early hours waiting for choc to set enough on cones to decorate with choc buttons for D's birthday cake~hours before 15 little playmates were due for her party!~(a month ago!)
      have you put colouring in your icing?I've started to use colour gel~it doesn't make the icing so soggy.What's the cake?

        I made some almond shortbread for my OH to take up to granny and grampas, does that count.

        I don't do the village thing, there are some great bods here, but there are a few really stuck up sorts which I can't be doing with.
        I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.

            andi&di, I do sympathise.... and there are NO chocky buttons on this cake?! and no colouring IN the icing! and if I told you what the cake was (given that it's for a SHOW, and then I'd give the game away to my opposition?) I'd have to kill you I'm afraid, and the nice people at Grow Your Own (and I HAVE actually put their logo on my cake... so they should actually send me huge amounts of Thompson & Morgan Vouchers now, given that huge amounts of peeps from Gloucestershire are now going to a) buy the magazine because of my cake or b) log onto or register onto the forum because of my cake....)Mikeywills, yes it DOES. And basically yes, and yes and yes.
            You've just made me laugh out loud..... X
