Hmmm, now I have to admit I am no foodie, I have children so I have to cook, but I neither enjoy it nor am I very good at it! I put it down to the pressure of expectations! Mostly I HATE cooking for my other half, because he is a much better cook than I am, he understands herbs and spices and what go with what and even remembers what ingredients go into what ever it is he is making, where as my style of cooking is a lot more hap hazard!!!
The other half calls me queen of the oven, if it goes in the oven I can cook it (Roast dinners are about the only thing I can confidently cook but really is about it, but I'm fine with that).
Now this week was half term and while I have taken many, many photos none of them have been of food, partly due to the fact I have been lucky enough to avoid most cooking this week and partly because we have eaten out quiet a lot! So I am going to cheat on this post and show you some of the pretty birthday cakes I have made and forgot to post (Cake is food right, and it makes up quiet a large amount of what I eat)....
It was so huge I had to finish it off at the party, and here is mess makers 5th birthday cake which was the beginning of May....
She is Laalaaloopsy mad at the moment and luckily for me quiet easily pleased!
I'm really looking forward to everyone else's posts, hopefully I might pic up a new recipes for the other half to cook!
Have a great day
You can go into the cake baking business. The castle is amazing and the other cake is very cute.
ReplyDeleteI too hate to cook... but birthday cakes are just about the top of my list of things I will not make... I used to make gignger bread houses every year when I was growing up.. no longer remember what they were for, I think they were raffled off. The little girl on the top of the cake is very cute!
ReplyDeleteYou may not cook, but you sure can decorate a cake. Wish i was in your birthday list.
ReplyDeleteI really didn't like to cook until my girls were grown. Then I didn't have to cook everyday and I began to cook to my taste and made what I liked all the time
Wow - Who cares that you can't or don't cook - these cakes are awesome! I'm not much into cake, but these are incredible and now I'm craving some. You have quite the talent, let me just say that right now!
ReplyDeleteThose cakes are works of art. I'm sure both recipients were thrilled!
ReplyDeleteThis has to be the prettiest cake I've ever seen - every little girls dream cake. I'm incredibly impressed and don't think it matters one jot if you can't cook when you can turn out creations like that!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely adorable! WOW !!!
ReplyDeleteYes, cake is food, and very good food. I'm so impressed with your cake making skills!!!! The mess maker is sure lucky to have you making her birthday cakes!
