If it was me I would start by pointing out some of the obvious things - AH poor chicks have no mummy so ...

Doofaloofa I keep looking at the "quick reply" reply button but I really don't have any quick reply. Love the skill of the artist who made the clown cake. I am not sure I know anyone who would request it for their wedding though, but can understand that you would

Thanks for the link Amaranth. I have bookmarked the recipe pages. I may well have a go at making the veggie burger today, it really did look simple and I have all the ingredients in stock.
