Post by: Dawn F on December 01, 2008, 09:35:43 AM

6lb that is the size of a baby surely no cake can be that big???????????????????

Title: Re: Guess the weight of the cake!
Post by: CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls on December 01, 2008, 09:54:39 AM

Was that a guess Dawn  :sneaky:

Well babies vary my son weighed 5lb 9 and my daughter 7lb 4 so a baby can be anything really.

Thats what I was thinking surely a cake cant be the same weight as a baby but yep they can.

Title: Re: Guess the weight of the cake!
Post by: Dawn F on December 01, 2008, 09:57:51 AM

Title: Re: Guess the weight of the cake!
Post by: CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls on December 01, 2008, 10:01:27 AM
