These were mini versions using our usual sponge recipe. For my son's last birthday I managed conflagration of my hair (luckily with only minor damage but a horrible smell) so have resolved not to carry through cakes for older relatives :-)seahorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006649663400552591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550542818993957125.post-63697834665282626622007-10-03T15:01:00.000+01:002007-10-03T15:01:00.000+01:00Those cakes remind me very much of our family Birt...Those cakes remind me very much of our family Birthday Cakes, though of course for a Birthday Cake they need to be larger. ;-) We do choc sponge cakes sandwiched together with LOTS of choco butter cream, then covered in it and smothered with smarties and buttons (we usually do the sides in buttons, smarties on the top), just leaving enough space for candles... <BR/><BR/>My fave was the one I did for John's 30th Birthday (many years ago!), which actually had 30 candles on top of it. Later birthdays we had to resort to those number candles to avoid complete conflagration of house! ;-) But the 30 candles were pretty impressive when they were lit!<BR/><BR/>Hugs from Liverpool - will be thinking of you next Tuesday.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630530599678517169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550542818993957125.post-71115155137992665662007-10-03T13:10:00.000+01:002007-10-03T13:10:00.000+01:00Fluttertongue: Extreme Fungi... should be the open...Fluttertongue: Extreme Fungi... should be the opener to a personals ad, as in 'seeks Extreme Fungirl". Ahem. Maybe not. Blueprint for life. Yes, it would be nice but I'd be bankrupt very quickly.<BR/><BR/>Cusp: Yes that's true. Always good to look past the eye of the storm. Cake, and more cake, then Christmas cake, that's what I say.seahorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006649663400552591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550542818993957125.post-28321125813263139602007-10-03T12:04:00.000+01:002007-10-03T12:04:00.000+01:00Ooh these look very scrummy.

I hope you remembered to brush your teeth afterwards ;-)<BR/><BR/>The dentist always brings on a pall of gloom but afterwards you wonder why you were so worried. In a few weeks you'll be living it large and able to enjoy more cake with teeth that don't hurt anymoreCusphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717783581169397585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550542818993957125.post-84911023132266906042007-10-03T11:30:00.000+01:002007-10-03T11:30:00.000+01:00Oh no!

I've been off sugar for a fortnight and I'm sure it's doing the world of good to the extreme fungi pervading my being but not for my temperament. I hope you have a fantastic week, and that you use it as a blueprint for life in general.fluttertonguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503797774392650926noreply@blogger.com
