Random Delights

Holly: Sorry to hear your hamster died Bob... Bob: Window cleaners for British rail should watch out for flying man-eating deckchairs today, swimming in from the south along with the flea-ridden coathangers. The muffin man is responsible for the sudden outburst of rain yesterday as he forgot to pay the rent on his blue strawberries. I'm sorry, did you say you wanted a biscuit? Holly: Random! Custard cream please.

Cakes for dummies

This is the first time I have photo-documented the piece-by-piece story of my wedding cakes. Thought it might be a bit more interesting than just a one-off photo.

It starts with cake boards and bags of fruit...



All good cake-makers know you need lots of icing sugar and measurements are crucial.


I have always hated fruit cakes, and I am sure it is because of the marzipan icing. Good luck to them I say. Good luck.

Covering a cake with soft Royal icing... not my favourite thing in the world.


Washing the dishes... also not my favourite thing in the world...

THE FINISHED CAKE... MY FAVOURITE THING

    Wow - you even manage to make fruit cake look yummy Mish!
    What a great post - I love seeing all the pics. And good to see the old Burberry bags are still in circulation ;-)
