Very true. I've given up trying now - just admit to having a lot of body to maintain. People aren't actually running away screaming . . .yet :-/

Has anyone tried chocolate beetroot cake? You use those packs of vacuum packed beetroot. Simply divine (I've even had it as a birthday cake one year!!!). Very scrummy. If anyone wants the recipe, I'll put it on the site.......
