My cupcake decorating efforts...
We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

I've never decorated a bun..... if invited I'd be happy to turn up and chat to those doing it, but it'd not be in my skillset to even put a big dot on each one.
That was my view until I tried it, it's lots of fun and certainly not my skillset (as the photos prove) but I really enjoy it.We made it!

So no. Not the same at all
This is more rolling out of stuff and then cutting weird shapes that somehow makes something that looks like something, plus maybe a few dots of buttercream to puff stuff up (or if you are me, completely overdo the butter cream so that people have plenty to lick when they are eating them :rotfl:)We made it!

Tbh, fir got a bit cross about the same stuff that annoyed me that I couldn't be bothered to explain here and wasn't that happy about it. Its water under the bridge as far as I am concerned fwiw, and no resentment is held, but it just made it clear that friendships or proclaimed understanding were not sincere or mutual.
I wish everyone who I care for really well and still care for them and wish only the best , but realise that people cannot care for me if they don't know me and what was said made it clear I was not understood, so it all started to feel a little insincere. Tbh, when fir read it, he was more than a bit cross. His feelings really took priority, and the vehemence of them was not insignificant. He also was annoyed by some things that didn't bother me in the least
This is still bookmarked at the top though, so I hit it accidentally sometimes.
I'm now desperately hoping it wasn't me as I struggle to express my empathy at times, especially in written form and that can make it appear that I am not understanding of a situation.We made it!

Ditto. sometimes anyone can across the wrong way without meaning to. I'm still feeling incredibly blessed at obtaining my free valet, despite being a bit of a minion and not driving a 5 Series.
I am confused, but happy to see you, lir! You must know that your contribution has been a driving force to this thread and that I am sure no one would ever have intended to upset you.
Edit: I miss you Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

I didn't want a wedding cake because they were too expensive.
Then we had a cake and I liked it too much to cut it. We ended up cutting it late in the evening and had too much leftover.
Our village was a bit touristy on a Sunday and I ended up handing wedges of cake to strangers out of my kitchen window before we left for honeymoon.
