  • Glad you've had a good birthday:T :D You deserve it. Did they have the fire-brigade on standby with all those candles:rotfl: :rotfl: (only joking, you're still a baby really!!!)
    You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

    2 birthday threads? That's just plain greedy. :D

    Well, I don't bake but its OH's birthday this Sunday and I normally buy one...I know..not very MSE or OS.:rolleyes: ....so I am going to bake a Victoria Sponge with strawberries and cream...well going to try anyway. He will faint with shock when he sees it, and I will shove it down his throat whether he likes it or not. I shall post a pic......of the cake, not me shoving it down his throat. :D

    Well, ya best make two then, coz the rules say it can't be for someone's birthday. Cake on a birthday is expected. :p The one for OH will have to be a practice cake. ;) Give the other one to someone whose birthday it isn't. :D

    Edit: See? No favouritism here Rikki! :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Believe me, a cake baked by my own fair hand, is NOT expected by anyone on any day of the year.:rotfl:

    But I shall do another one. :D For my sis I think, we lost our mum unexpectedly about a month ago, and I don't know how I would have got through the past month without her strength. :)

    I'm not baking till the weekend. :p

    Apple pie :drool: and I'm going to make some muffins. :p

    My neighbour doesn't really eat cakes I though a savoury muffin might be more her style. If thats okay with you boss.

    My cake tin was already full ;)

    DS has just gone off to Scout camp. When he was a cub lots of parents baked, but now all the baking parents have left, apart from me :rolleyes: At his last camp he was the only one to take cake (HM or otherwise :eek: :eek: :eek: ). So this cake isn't expected, but will be gratefully received.

    Belated Happy Birthday Mr BE :beer: There's one piece of cake left (wouldn't fit in the box) Would you like it?

    Great idea for a thread.
