Oh Bu@@er... My Day Went Like This....?!

[wellie]

When you are seriously trying to achieve something good, just for yourself, your adorable 'other' or someone else that you truly care about, I fail to understand just why everything that CAN go so positively wrong, just Ruddy Well Does...........

I'm making an effort this year to put back into a local Village what they have given to us, in terms of friendship, by making a cake that the whole community can be a part of, and with this damp weather, the icing is just NOT wanting to dry out at all, which is making it's very existence a complete NO-NO.

Are you doing something lovely to make someone else smile this week too?

thats lovely wellie, and oh bugger i feel for you with the icing, i buy cakes in a packet lol!!! useless me!! lol!

i am trying to make my kids, mum, dad and sis smile this week because sis is emmigrating to NZ on saturday and it will be a sad day, so trying to be strong for all! (extremely hard when want to be sad myself _)

I was up til the early hours waiting for choc to set enough on cones to decorate with choc buttons for D's birthday cake~hours before 15 little playmates were due for her party!~(a month ago!)
have you put colouring in your icing?I've started to use colour gel~it doesn't make the icing so soggy.What's the cake?

I made some almond shortbread for my OH to take up to granny and grampas, does that count.

I don't do the village thing, there are some great bods here, but there are a few really stuck up sorts which I can't be doing with.

Last week I have been mostly decorating and I made a bedroom in Paris go from this to this.

andi&di, I do sympathise.... and there are NO chocky buttons on this cake?! and no colouring IN the icing! and if I told you what the cake was (given that it's for a SHOW, and then I'd give the game away to my opposition?) I'd have to kill you I'm afraid, and the nice people at Grow Your Own (and I HAVE actually put their logo on my cake... so they should actually send me huge amounts of Thompson & Morgan Vouchers now, given that huge amounts of peeps from Gloucestershire are now going to a) buy the magazine because of my cake or b) log onto or register onto the forum because of my cake....)Mikeywills, yes it DOES. And basically yes, and yes and yes.
You've just made me laugh out loud..... X

I'm far from show standards but got really into doing novelty cakes a couple of years ago~have a peek in my album!It's become my rather uncheap alternative to birthday presies for friends~keep forgetting to take photos tho!Good Luck with yours!~keep some choccie buttons in your pocket just in case!
