He was quite fun to make, might see if I have enough Christmas material to make another.

Amazing!

 

[Lorcan]

I still don't know where the missing one from yesterday is, so now this is #2 in the new stash and not #3, lol.

 

[fluffysal]

Hehe, back in the day, I had those colours in my hair!

 

[Lorcan]

If it were dark blue or black in place of the green I could say the same

 

[fluffysal]

The fluorescent yellow/green was my favourite for about a year. I still keep a slice of colour but these days it's usually purple, pink or blue

 

[Lorcan]

The fluorescent yellow is always a bit of a pain to use, honestly. There's nothing wrong with it but it's like white and cream thread, they're never quite as good as the other hanks of thread they turn up with. Something to do with the dyeing process, probably, but it's still weird.

Just made this for my WI's Christmas Party tonight.

Can I have an invitation?

 

[weepweeps]

I love a Battenberg cake and it’s also my daughters favourite.

You don’t want an invitation @Lorcan you just want cake.

 

[Lorcan]

Shhhh

 

[Betsy]

Can I have an invitation?

Unfortunately you wouldn't make it down in time.

 

[Lorcan]

...dang it. Guess I'll just have to eat the chocolate cake that's on the counter.

It went down really well. I could have made 2 or even 3.

Not a craft really, but definitely a project. My mom and I just finished laying tile around my fireplace. I am really happy with how it turned out.

It's a bit of a long trip so sorry I won't be coming down with it or any more I happen to make.

Cheesecake!

The cookie base was made with gingerbread cookies - highly recommend, the kitchen smelled amazing!



Please ignore the mess, part of the process for me :’)

That looks beautiful! What type of swirl is on the top? I think I may need to ask my husband to make me a cheesecake as yours looks so good!

 

[fluffysal]

I always use a mix of ginger biscuits and hobnobs for a cheesecake base, much better taste and texture than digestives.

I “marbled” (if you can call it that) sour cream topping (sour cream + sugar + lemon juice) with homemade raspberry sauce and baked it for 10min.

It looks fun and also adds so much, it cuts through the richness of the cheesecake and gives a nice balance!

Great way to cover up any cracks, too

Oooohhh! I wondered how al the cheesecakes look so good but the ones my husband bakes always have a crack in the top. I will pass this along to him.

 

[Betsy]

Another way to not crack a cheesecake is to leave it in the oven when cooked and don't open it. Leave the oven to go cold before removing the cheesecake.
