Thanks Ruth I will be sure to try it out.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh I was talking with a lady that does cake deco for a living and she did ask if I knew how to bake a cake from scratch and not from a packet - I had to laugh (I can by the way)!!
Yeah, I know you can! Surely most people bake from scratch... don't they? I don't ever remember using a packet mix except for chocolate mousse.
ReplyDeletelol apparently not - not according to this lady anyway!! ahh It made me laugh
