Title: Cakes for cat 77 fair!
Post by: Cheesecat on November 25, 2006, 09:15:06 AM: I cant stay long as I have to leave in 10 mins and my hair is still all over the place!

I spent all night last night baking cakes for the Cat 77 Christmas fair - including two sponge cake disasters which nearly made me cry!!

Ive made two chocolate sponge "cat" cakes, 12 jam/lemon curd tarts, and 12 Christmas cakes

It doesnt seem like much but even that took forever!
Hope you like them!

Post by: Cheesecat on November 27, 2006, 08:28:56 AM: Haha I could've murdered a jam tart all evening when I was cooking them, and then after I dropped them off at Desley's house I wanted a cake again soooooooooooo bad! I'm not used to cooking lots of nice things and not eating any! I had to buy a cherry muffin to eat before I started cooking so I didn't eat any of my "good cause" cakes!

As to how it went, I haven't been online since I posted this thread so I haven't spoken to Desley about them - hopefully she will have good news today! :shy:
