I love baking, and the thought of spending £10 on a bloody sponge cake galls me, especially when I could probably make a nicer homemade cake for far, far less.
However, here's the thing. Am nearly 39 weeks pregnant and not exactly overflowing with energy. I could make any old cake, but I know DS, who will be 2 on Monday, would prefer a Thomas the Tank Engine cake, because I showed him a load the other day and that's the one he liked.
Could I make a Thomas cake myself? Cake bit, fine, decorating it, not so confident. Is it worth all the faff finding blue icing and attempting to create a Thomas face myself (art was never my strong point!) or should I just cut myself some slack, grit my teeth and buy it?
