    I'm doing the cakes for the Macmillan coffee morning at our work. I'm doing mini lime cheesecakes, millionaire's shortbread, fresh gingerbread with lemon icing and chocolate cherry cupcakes - all ala Nigella - but I'm allowed to take any costs to me out of the petty cash tin.
    Squares knitted for my throw ~ 90 (yes!!! I have finally finished it :rotfl: )
    Squares made for my patchwork quilt ~ 80 (only the "actual" quilting to do now :rotfl:)

    Thanks for the tips guys - boobie cakes it is then (if anyone asks, I can always use Gales rebuttle;) ), plus I'm loving the idea of the Hobnobs....

    SOMO1 - now wonder you're stressed with all that baking!:rotfl:

    Loving the link Nicki, thanks!

    Gale - here's the link for MacMillan - you should be able to find a local one, or why not do one yourself and get your friends round?

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys - would love to hear how you are getting on in your baking endevours!:T
    Is it payday yet?:rolleyes:

    I've made the mini lime cheesecakes and the millionaire's shortbread - did them last night ;) Tonight it's the turn of the chocolate cherry cupcakes and the fresh gingerbread - my kitchen is a wreck :rotfl:

    Chocolate brownies! That is what I plan to make for ours. (Sorry, I don't have the recipe handy or I'd post it).
