    Hi Jill - I just had a wee peek at your cake.

    How fab is it? Am v v impressed. I wish I could create something so impressive.

    But you're right. If I had produced that I would have struggled to cut it up too :D

    What a fabulous cake - well done you! That would have cost a fortune to buy - any idea what it cost to make, just out of interest?
