just chatting

Good evening ladiesA quick pop in today - with snippets of information. No cake news except for the fact I have returned both the tin to the shop & the bowl to Nadine, & also bought the big white box that it will be transported in. Also I haven't done any crafting today - the closest thing being that this afternoon I visited Parkfields & took the cards to them that Mold & Mold II had donated.  They were very grateful & will let us know when they are used at an event. A little message here for CSNW - who have their first 2012 meeting tomorrow night.  We will be having 2 ladies visiting with a view to joining us.  I hope to be there about 7:15, but should they get there before me I know you will make them welcome - their names are Hayley & Andrea. Some lucky news was received by Joanna of Mold club - a blog that she follows selected her to win a prize.  As Joanna said - "you have to be in it to win it".  Very true - congratulations Joanna.  W

Good afternoon ladies Yep! It's wedding cake news time - as that took up most of my Sunday. On Saturday - as I think I mentioned - it was cake shopping day - picking up the tin & getting the ingredients - along with doing our weekly shop.  So I decided the actual making & baking would take place Sunday. Ooh what fun.  Here are a couple of pictures of the preparation. All the basic pieces of equipment - which proved not to be enough - as you will read All this for one cake?  Actually no - because there is more - I forgot to put the eggs there. All those things were moved to the other side of the unit - then as each were used - those packages that still held things went into the cupboard so I knew that they had been used.  If the package was empty & finished with  - well they went ............... ............. into the sink.  Glace cherries - ugh - I hate getting all sticky from cutting them up - so in the other sink was a bowl of warm soapy water to continua
