I know it doesn't look good but who cares
I know it doesn't look good but who cares
I put my back out last weekend and my friends daughter (only 13) has been getting off the bus at my house filling 7 hay-nets and then walking the 2 miles home every day this week.
(Just to explain, I can manage the attaching of the hay-nets but the combination of twisting and shoving was too much)
So I made this for her. I know it doesn't look professional but she will be pleased, as was I . Those containers are only about 5" so it should have been a little star shape. Never mind I will explain that to her.

It looks fine, trinder - immensely edible.

Re: I know it doesn't look good but who cares
Aw thanks both. I was quite pleased with myself. I won't show it to OH as the last time he remarked that it looked like something made on a game show and er I have to say he could certainly say the same about this one 
Just for you Mike this is the really really red wine I made.Remember I put 40 fruit tea bags in instead of 20. It is very nice, I think it could be referred to as "fruity and full bodied"
Please note the posh bottle I bought a lot just before Christmas and made everyone home made alcohol. Funnily noone commented on that . Maybe I'll revert to shop bought

Re: I know it doesn't look good but who cares
I could just do with a slice of that cake! Looks yummy
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Re: I know it doesn't look good but who cares
The cake looks lovely - did it rise that much or is that two of them put together?

Re: I know it doesn't look good but who cares
Sorry peps I thought this post had gone dead/ dropped off.
MMM Yes the cake did rise well but that is the two together. The kids said the cake was delicious, their mum said ( a friend, so very honest) the cake was a tiny bit dry, but there was very little cake it was all cream, so the kids would not really pay attention.
Somewhere I read that if you crack and weigh your eggs you can adjust your cake mix accordingly. Well I only had one egg, so sugar flour and butter were weighed according to that rule? The next possible cause of dryness is that I was trying to guesstimate the microwave time. I ended up with 4 minutes but possibly that should have been 3 1/2.
The butter cream was a recipe for a carrot cake topping. 3oz butter 3oz soft cheese splash of vanilla extract and 4oz icing sugar (I substituted cocoa powder for 1oz of the icing sugar) I was very pleased with this not as heavy as a normal butter cream
Mike how could I I didn't realise you could read that oops
sorry editted to read I did not realise that the instant memorable title given to the photo ( so that I could find it quickly) would be visible on this screen - as aopposed to any slight you might take Mike that I was suggesting that you might be unable to read (in a daft as a brush way)
