Then there was the year of the cake fail. I think it was combination of mixing up two recipes, a lack of confidence in what I knew was right, and an interfering better half, who was not so better on that occasion. I could do it again well, I suppose, but I have handed it over. Let others chop up figs. Of course the brandy that was bought for the cake that kept disappearing was a problem too. I fixed that by pouring some into a jar when the bottle was bought, but still I think that got drunk once.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-67467145794938533452017-11-30T09:58:49.880+00:002017-11-30T09:58:49.880+00:00mmmmmm....cake!!!!mmmmmm....cake!!!!gzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034777779347889773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-23883448060354911342017-11-30T08:37:16.960+00:002017-11-30T08:37:16.960+00:00You need a lot of ingredients, a lot of time, and ...You need a lot of ingredients, a lot of time, and a lot of patience.
