Well mine are up but I'll try & take a better picture tomorrow (light was very bad today loads of rainclouds). The detail on everyone else's buns is incredible, mine are a bit plain really.

However the marshmallows are from the marshmallow bush on my allotment, do I get extra points for that?

SlightlyMadSugar · 23/06/2007 21:59

Well my genetically modified jam didn't get any points

I had beautiful things to say about my cakes.

Windfalls

Shoot or shoo

But none of the titles seem to have happened !!!

MrsFish · 24/06/2007 09:10

Will hopefully post some pictures at some point, at the moment feel to ill to leave the sofa

Slubberdegullion · 24/06/2007 09:28

I'm about to start taking piccies.

Can I ask, how do you get the title of your photo at the top? Do I have to name the photo before I upload it? My photos need titles or no one will know what the hell my cakes are on about.

ChippyMinton · 24/06/2007 09:35

Morning fellow bakers . MrsFish, hope you feel better soon.
Slubber the caption thing - upload photos then click on manage photos, then it shows the pics and you can click to edit each one. Type into the boxes - i'm not sure which one. TBH i can't find my way back to the edit page .

Slubberdegullion · 24/06/2007 09:42

Righto, ta.

Get better soon MrsFish

MrsFish · 24/06/2007 10:04

Starting to feel better thanks. Need to decide how to photograph these things now

purplemonkeydishwasher · 24/06/2007 10:36

ok i'm up

but the pics aren't very good. i'll redo them when i get my camera back this afternoon.

now...where am i going to put my rosette??

Slubberdegullion · 24/06/2007 10:51

OK, and I'm done.

So my DD's efforts are here. We are currently in the throws of sugar rush mania.

And my work entitled A day in the life (of an Alpha MN Cup Cake) is there as well.

Slubberdegullion · 24/06/2007 10:54

Now I know I haven't exactly stuck to the rules (but look at LL's ffs).

A day in the life is a Beatles song, isn't it??? [vvv hopeful emoticon]

and there are only 6 of the slubbereenies cakes, and we were singing nusery rhymes as we decorated (mostly Old Mcdonald).

Please don't disqualify me .

I was going to do flowers (like Chippy's) but she got there first (damn damn)

purplemonkeydishwasher · 24/06/2007 11:06

roffle!

those are great slub!!

MrsFish · 24/06/2007 11:17

Just finished taking mine, will download and upload as soon as... prepare to be amazed

tigi · 24/06/2007 11:49

Morning cupcakes, lovely to see the baking going so well, can almost smell the aroma! Am I judging, or someone else, or joint? I wasn't sure. Need to know whether I should make the time to iron my pink frilly pinny, or if just my grease splattered green one willl do?

ChippyMinton · 24/06/2007 12:24

Tigi, you have proven credentials and must go and iron your pink pinny.

I recall Francagoestohollywood wanted to judge too. but havn't seen her around?

Am LOL at the pure genius of our iced offerings

FrannyandZooey · 24/06/2007 12:26

Daemara · 24/06/2007 14:44

Daemara · 24/06/2007 15:47

SlightlyMadSugar- Thank you! I was going to try and make a deck chair type of thing but coulden't figure it out. I barely got my dh to take the pictures for me as DH and DS just wanted to eat them!

Daemara · 24/06/2007 15:48

MrsFish- Love the flip flops!

MrsFish · 24/06/2007 15:51
