Who wants to enter here please. This will be fab. Now we have to find some judges. I think we should put thread in chat and ask someone to judge based on their credentials Obviously they will be only looking at a pic not tasting. We need rules as well??? Good idea or not.

he insisted on testing it before the kids.

SlightlyMadScientist · 14/06/2007 22:43

The advantage in my house is that DH doesn't like cake...well only carrot cake - which I don't like so I never bake.

THA CAT ATE MY CAKE!!

Slubberdegullion · 15/06/2007 09:34

Groove, your cake looks bloody gorgeous.

Slubberdegullion · 15/06/2007 09:39

KAA cats, kids, husbands...they all want a piece (literal and metaphorical) of our cake action.

MrsTweedy · 15/06/2007 09:53

Slubberdegullion, every time I see your name that song from Lamb Lies Down On Broadway comes into my head and I can't shake it off....(is that where your name comes from?).

I have bought doilies and am agonising over whether to use 6663 or 8884.

GrooveisintheHeart · 15/06/2007 09:54

i used 666 3, no idea what size tins i have though.

My MKI Devil's Proportions is in the oven [anxious]

Pennies · 15/06/2007 11:06

Mine didn't rise . Might have been the out of date self rasining flour. Have updated my stocks and will have another go.

Grooveisintheheart · 15/06/2007 11:07

another devils one in the oven, for school fete. cant cut this open but will add pics of it finished beofre i wrap it to take down the school this afternoon.

Pennies · 15/06/2007 11:08

Will make Mark II a bit later though Dh is already worried about my fixation with perfection.

Grooveisintheheart · 15/06/2007 11:46

damn, one sunk slightly in the middle. i do need deeper cake tins though as the cakes do have a nice big lip on them

ah well, will use lots of jam, and sprinkle with sugar shortly.
