Here is my cake buffet and some of the cakes going to the sale. They taste every bit as good as they look!

Star of the show was the authentic Black Forest gateau, which is an entirely different animal altogether. @VickiA can testify for the taste!

And the traditional Swiss triple chocolate cake in the back with the light and moist fresh plum sponge at the front.

I can certainly vouch for the Black Forest Gateau -it's the genuine article. Sadly it wouldn't travel well in my cake tub so I dutifully ate a piece and sent Andy this pic to show him what he was missing.

Can't have it go to waste... :nod:

We always eat @Wiebke 's cakes on the way home on the train... With a glass of wine too.. :))

This is turning out to be extreme cruelty to guinea pig owners. Flaunting photos of delicious looking cakes under the noses of those who are unable to partake.
I hope you had a successful day and sold everything. They deserve a good home.

Sadly, not as many people came as we'd hoped, so my freezer is currently rather full despite making a generous cake donation towards the team at the Cat & Rabbit Care Clinic, which looks after the TEAS piggies so well - now including my Hywel. Still, I did raise a fair amount for TEASeven if it was not quite as much as I have been hoping for!

I adopted 14 piggies for my lads. Does that make me a hoarder?

Dear @VickiA
I am worried that you might have a problem.
Can you provide sufficient homes for all 14?
I know it seemed like a good idea at the time, and of course you wanted to do the right thing, but think of the repercussions.
Will you have time to care for all 14 when you will need to counteract their arrival by spending additional time in the gym?
The solution I propose is that you send at least 7 of them to me.
Let me know if you want me to pm my address.
My heart (and biscuit tin) are always open to new additions.

dear @Swissgreys
Thank you for your concern and offer of assistance.
I do not think you need trouble yourself unduly about this issue. Whilst the additional 10 piggies were an impulse purchase this was in the sure and certain knowledge that there would be no trouble rehoming them. Indeed their numbers are already diminished. Sadly due to poor transport conditions some of the ginger piggies were injured in transit and had to be rapidly dispached by most compassionate lads. Those packed in the suitable travel container (and several that I squeezed in my bag) arrived safely. I am pleased to report they are settling into their temporary enclosure where they will be allowed to acclimatise in peace and quiet before attempts are made to handle them. It is unlikely that my lads will lose interest in them or that they will be neglected.
Thank you for your kind offer to re-home 7. We will, however, have to decline. This would leave an uneven number in my home and an inevitable fight. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be the cause of disharmony in an otherwise peaceful home.
