    How'd your Christmas cake turn out?

    Did you put brown paper around the outside of the tin as well?
    And on the top if it starts going too brown.

    Ive just lifted it out ellie....... I put grease proof around the outside as I couldn't find any brown paper and then the hunt was on for string.

    Mr TM suggested insulation tape:eek:

    Finally found a little bit:rotfl:

    It smells gorgeous but unsure if it's risen as much as I would have liked ......however the top is lovely and flat and not cracked:T

    I will leave it until the morning and give it a good inspection:)

    Can he resist picking the odd sultana from the top??

    So am I. ;)


    "We all have many types of friends,
    And in our life they come and go.
    But if we can understand their roles,
    Then it can be easier to let some go.

    Some friends are there for you,
    At a time when you are in dire need.
    They have come into life for a reason,
    Giving you what you require indeed.

    But when this reason is resolved,
    It often becomes time to part,
    Because when the reason is gone,
    Both may want a fresh new start.

    Other friends are there for a season,
    To laugh with and have lots of fun.
    But just as seasons come to an end,
    Sometimes these friendships are done.

    Some people are very fortunate,
    To have very special lifetime friends.
    Who will remain in their life forever,
    And that is a friendship that never ends.

    I am lucky and have many lifetime friends,
    Who came into my life for a reason.
    We've enjoyed many laughs and shed tears,
    But they stayed long after a season."

    What a lovely poem, TS. :A

    Not sure how the insulation tape would have worked.

    I am a totally rubbish cook but when I lived at home with my parents I made Christmas cakes every year, even made my own wedding cake. I could never find string, usually ended up with ordinary knitting wool. I only use the oven now for burning the kids' chicken dippers.[/QUOTE]

    I had to remind him that the cake was going in an oven and that plastic was probably not a good idea:rotfl:

    Made your own wedding cake:eek::T
