    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    ^ Oooh I love your decoration.

    Powershopper - I wish I had the motivation to do that much in one go. I'm terrified just thinking of all the washing up! :o

    I baked a chocolate fudge cake with vanilla buttercream in the centre and nice thick chocolate buttercream on the top, also stuck some choccy eggs on top, which I cut in half lengthways, for decoration.
    It was my first 'proper' sized cake, I usually stick to cupcakes. I'm very proud of myself, and keep looking at it, not quite believing I was able to actually produce something that looks (and tastes) so great!!
    I'm taking it into work tomorrow, as a 'sorry, I was so grumpy last Friday' cake. Lol

    i have made a pineapple upside down cake and 2 banana loaves. Using up space in the oven whilst the roast was cooking. Am feeling very pleased with myself!! lol
  • I made a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream centre (now sliced and wrapped in foil for kids), a weetabix cake and have some cadburys choc dairy milk cookie dough resting in the fridge.
    Real men never follow instructions; after all they are just the manufacturer's opinion on how to put something together. :p

    I baked bread pudding today - should have blitzed the bread in the food processor though as it has a few lumpy bits in it :o.
