I made the cake and saved a small fortune!

@Ann-Maree, I used your excellent idea of two cakes. Whilst Hugo and Co were making speeches and ‘cutting the cake’ a good friend and I were cutting and plating up the other cake, close by.
By the time speeches were done, cake was ready to be eaten.

Thank you!

How frustrating @rhythmtyagi, it may soften yet or you could try giving it a scrub with a nailbrush and some yellow soap. That may help remove the dressing.

I just got the notification too, but then I went to put it in my cart and it is sold out (or “sold out”) again! Maybe it is not meant to be.

@Sarvi , fairy cakes are a great idea, I can bake and freeze and ice on thawing.

@Ann-Maree great recipe and equally great advice, thank you so much!

@Kerrilyn, yours too? 🙂

Keep them coming Ladies!

I found that Clarks were the only shoe my kids could wear because the size and width were fitting. With a standard width we would have to go up several sizes and then they’d look like clown shoes.

@ann-maree, I just took my time, and used a very fine sharp needle. Zara would like a peplum top made from the remnant but I told her I need a break before tackling that cloth again.

Thank you!
