Thank you lovely ladies!

I'm very grateful for all the pictures of cake. I "made" with the assistance of Betty Crocker some cakes for the party and was horrified to find that icing isn't included in the packet! I made violently green almond icing, but still had to donate about 20 cakes to people at different tables

got-it-spend-it

Ooh, it's too early for yummy cake pictures. Some people are on a diet, dontcha know!

Happy Birthday SS, glad you had a fabby party.

We're off to a Farmers' Market in a bit once we're all showered and dressed. I've woken with a sore throat and gunky chest again, not sure what's going on as I'm fine later in the day but feel rubbish first thing.

First England match tonight- whoop, whoop!

Are circles of fondant easy to use? I was thinking that I might end up pulling them out of shape as I picked them up to stick them on.

I like the buttercream cake too. I was thinking about buttercream originally as I thought it might be easier for me, but then I didn't want it to be an uneven surface as I want to decorate it. I didn't think about smoothing it down

Oooh, decisions decisions...

P.S. Don't keep your nose out - I'm very grateful for your help and suggestions.

Fondant circles are easy to use, just make sure it's not rolled too thin, and dust the surface well with icing sugar and should be no problem to pick up

Have a nice day SM and everyone else who's making the most of the nicer weather. Not jealous of GISI's farmers' market at all

Just back from farmers' market here bought a controversially expensive piece of organic beef for a lovely Sunday roast, and some nice pastries and cheese we were lured into the cheese cuz they had sample bowls and the stall-holder thought E was cute so held up the bowl to him and let him scoop handfuls of lumps out plus some barbecuable bits and pieces. Then we're off to a Mexican place in central London for a friend's birthday lunch shortly.

Elijah is currently repeatedly headbutting the soft padded foot-stool we have, and loudly counting each headbutt! :eek: Except that his counting skills are a bit limited, so he is getting to 12 and starting again, or sometimes getting to three then skipping to eleven...

Morning all

Hope you are all well. I am wide awake and yet very very sleepy at the same time today. I have been up since 5.30 to go and queue outside the leisure centre to get the summer scheme places booked for Jas. So I am now officially the best mummy in the world according to my daughter as I got her horseriding and swimming YEAH ME !! lol

Dylan now has 5 teeth and has been doing amazingly well at his physio. We have a 6 week break from hydro now for the summer, so I am going to have to buy a cossie and take him to the pool myself !!! Dreading it !!

Happy Birthday to SS and ((hug)) to all the lovely mummy and daddyies

SJ, its a first come first served thing for all the summer kids classes in the area, and it opens at 8.15 for one day only. Some of the parents are there all night to get the really popular stuff like surfing and body boarding and normally the horseriding too, but I was able to get the last spot on it this year for her And its only 1 day of having to get up stupidly early and she now has something to do 4 weeks of the 8 week summer so she wont moan at me as much !! lol its a win win !!
