oooh what kind of cake are you thinking of sami? i'm thinking of attempting to do my wedding cake when the time comes and have geekily been reading up lots on cake decorating :rotfl:

i've just done so many things "wrong" lol! seth is currently asleep on my bed, i left him there while i had a quick wee and he was asleep when i got back, with his head on the pillow and had pulled the duvet up round and snuggled in!! he's got his head turned to one side with the duvet against his face. he looks so cosy. i might go and join him

Most cake makers now use the ready made stuff Sami, it's the easiest way and more or less foll proof. Remember that you need to lubricate the cake first, some no bit jam with a touch of water is usually what folk use.

I've photographed loads of stuff to list on ebay, so better get cracking.

lolI was gonna get that stuff that comes in a block is that it?
I'm most worried about actually putting in on the cake, does it split n stuff when your trying to make it snug?
Its only coz I don't know where to get a cake from, we've always had them from a distant auntie of mine but tbh my cakes are tastier

sami if it cracks get the icing in the tubes and make a pattern over the top no one will know but you and it just looks like you're being fancy x

How do you find your first post? I don;t know which club I joined as there have been so many. i like the idea of keeping all the posts like a diary, as I never bothered to keep one.

Sami, I've iced christmas cakes with the ready rolled out stuff... You can get it in Tesco. It's next to the stuff in a block but its in a longer thinner box (like a cling film box) and it's rolled out in a circle I think. Really easy to do and looks pretty good... Best tip I heard was ice the cake upside down, then the top is always flat...

Waiting to hear back from the lady with the sylvanian tree to see if we can go and fetch it this afternoon... And my Aunt said she's willing to fetch the cot that is near her if I win it on eBay... Finishes in an hour...

We went out for lunch today, wasn't planned but after a hectic morning it was very welcome... I decided to teach Hubby a lesson this morning... After I said to him "I've only got 10mins before we need to leave for church" I gave him Aimee's clothes to bring down and then I get myself and Caitlyn dressed and tried to feed her, brush my hair etc... When I got downstairs, hubby was sitting comatose in front of his Xbox, Aimee was dancing around the living room in her pyjamas... So I just said "right I'm off then" and left him to it... I think he might be a bit more helpful next time rather than leaving me to sort both girls out...
