"Last night I was reading Mrbadexample's first attempt at baking a cake. :rotfl: So funny, but I didn't get to bed till 2 (sure I ended up dreaming I was eating chocolate cake mmmm)!"

Read the whole series it gets better!! Oh and if it's any conselation I was up till nearly two am reading same thread :rotfl: and I am now going to make a chocolate yogurt cake.

With all this cooking I had better start exercising or I will become a very chubby bunny on all this home baking tho :eek: . To think at the begining of March I had not baked a cake for at least five years and I have now made three and am learning how to use my bread maker

Go OS :T

I've got a victoria sponge baking as we speak. Almost went to the shops just to buy yoghurt! but convinced myself to stick with whats in my cupboards. How OS!

I really felt for Mrbadexample spending so much to become Old Style because thats what I'm doing now! So contradictory!! And two years later we're still chatting about his cakes! He's a legend!

He was on again last night asking how to make a cake with three eggs, and made a mighty fine looking strawberry yogurt cake (Pictures are available)

Oh and he mentioned something about rugby and Scotland.........tee hee

Would post thread but have no idea how to sorry. A legend in his own kitchen indeed
(oh and a website with hundreds watching his culinary challenges )

Thanks Rikki for the link to the cake challenge thread - very impressed by all entries! Definitely puts my victoria sponge to shame, left it in the oven too long (although a third of it has been eaten so can't be that bad!).

I obviously need more practice so will try your carrot cake recipe next me thinks!:T


Have only reached page 10 of the thread, but I have to go to bed now! Will read the rest tomorrow. And I was supposed to be restricting my MSE forum reading!

Apologies to the OP, the thread has been slightly hiacked by cake hasn't it?:o

I was listening to the radio last night and they were doing a piece on how the price of food has increased. i thought to myself-'That's funny-my food bills have decreased in the past year and I realised it was since I've become a money saving fiend and have been lurking on these boards! So a big thank you to everyone who post on this board as I have picked up so many tips,
recipes etc and always cook from scratch now! Next aim is to buy a breadmaker and a slow cooker! Thank you so much because it has really got me on the road to becoming debt free.

I can't pretend to have been one of those who has contributed but I just wanted to add my agreement. The tips on here are fantastic and have really helped me in my quest to learn to cook. My family are certainly appreciating coming home to proper healthy meals rather than Iceland pie and chips!
