    Righto, I've made banana cake No.2..............

    I should be keeping guard on it as the boys are starting to circle!


    Apparently it was good!

    Who did you make it for? And why? I need answers before you join the club! :D
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    OK here goes, love the thread by the way.
    I made a dozen chocolate muffins for my work colleagues as we have a meeting tomorrow and cakes make it more bearable :)

    Here is one of them up close

    Well here we are - my first attempt! :j

    Finished product with birthday candles. Should have put it on a plate but couldn't get it out of the dish as it wasn't a loose based one. :rotfl: Blooming gorgeous, really rich, but easy to make and OH loved it! :D

    Mr BadExample - I know you want to see me bake, and I didn't have to bake that, but victoria sponge is following shortly. Ok...? :rolleyes: :D

    Well done to everyone else on here by the way. :T

    Hey. :rolleyes:

    I know it didn't have to go in the oven, but it is a cheeseCAKE. Can I be a member?? :(

    *ahem*

    I've never made muffins before, so today I have made some raspberrry and chocolate chip muffins especially for this challeng. The challenge gives me the excuse to try them out on someone else, rather than risk the ridicule of my lot if they're no good! :T :T

    I'm going to give them to my next door neighbours as they kindly gave me a load of raspberries from their garden!

    Does this count?



    OH, don't know what happened there - I took 2 pictures of my lovely muffins (steady now!) and tried to paste a picture but it doesn't seem to work? I might need some help with this :eek:

    How do you attach a picture? Anyone?

    Rikki - thanks for that info - I'm getting too long in the tooth to keep up with all this elektrickery stuff! It keeps doing this thing that my daughter calls "progressing" - I can't cope!

    Anyway, as instructed, have opened a photobucket account (that was really easy, thanks)

    Here are the muffins straight from the oven, and then in the pretty little box I put them in for delivering to the neighbours!
