bother

one of the many million things on my to do list for today was marzipan the cakes for my hubby's sisters wedding which is in 2 1/2 weeks. I made the cakes a while ago, and they've been maturing nicely. so far so good.......
so this morning, first day back at school, get K and E ready, take annual first day back at school photo in the front garden, drop them off, where they are excited to see all their friends, and go running off with hardly a backward glance (sigh........), walk home, right cakes.
Cake 1 - spread with apricot jam, marzipan it, put it box. OK
cake 2 - this one is to be cut into 2 smaller squares to become the middle and top tier of the cake.
measure, cut.


not cooked


bother...


guess I'm going to Marks and Spencer's......

  2. Aargh! I made the cake for my brother-in-law's wedding a month ago, and it was the most nerve wracking task of my adult life I think!!

    I didn't even attempt a traditional fruitcake as the icing and marzipan was worrying me. I made a tiered lemon & almond cake instead. Still terrifying!

    As long as there's something to cut for the photographs, you'll be fine. Good old M&S :o)
