Why don't I learn? For the past two years,I have attempted to make the DD'S a themed birthday cake & on each occasion,have had to do a last minute dash to the supermarket after it all goes horribly wrong.
I think I had a fluke on dd1's 2nd birthday & made a pretty good princess cake {a la'toilet roll cover stylee},which went down very well.After this,I must have imagined that I had a talent for cake making/decorating & got too ambitious.My latest effort is a failed volcano,which was meant to be decorated with strawberry sweet strips for lave & plastic dinosaurs,but I couldn't get it pointy enough.It resembles a molehill rather than a flaming volcano & is currently hidden under a teatowel in the kitchen,whilst I decide an appropriate end for it.
Can some kind person remind me,towards the end of May & August next year,that it will be cheaper & quicker all round if I just buy one instead?
