Snow Day!

We have a new addition to our family..................Simon the cross dressing snowman!

I wanted to build one and its on my 101 list so off I went. He has stick arms, coal eyes, carrot nose and a lovely red sparkley scarf (hence cross dressing!) Will post pics whn I can as my camera is stupid and according to Samsung works well Im afraid I would beg to differ!

Going to do Pips cake in a mo, baking it today then decorating it Friday.

Hope evryones wrapped up warm x x

Heres Simon!

Our kids are all off school as the roads are too dangerous to go out, we are effectively snowed in. My DH cannot get out to go to work, so we are all staying put. We have three new snowmen on the lawn and my 3YO wants to make a snow crocodile and angel today!! They are loving it.

If you put tin foil around outside of cake tin that will act as a base and stop any mix leaking too. Good luck with it.

Finally starting to use up the stuff in the freezer as there is definitely going to be no shopping for next few days. Good job cos if DH doesnt work there will be no wages next week.

Great website by the way, will definitely be having a go at some of the slow cooker ones.

Kidcat I want a snow crocodile! Sounds like you are having fun. :T

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSSS, anyone, help!

My 1 is now a 0.5! When I got it out of the tin the bottom of the 1 fell off. Its in a complete chunk not crumbly will I be able to bodge it back together with the buttercream icing?

Not panicking, not panicking, not panicking!
