No more Soddin' cake


My brother in law Tim, Sister Janet , Aunt Judy and me before the cake hungrey hordes from Prestatyn decended on the open  day


I won't wax too lyrically about the second of the family open days organised to raise money for the Motor Neurone Association, I will leave that up to Janet on her blog site....suffice to say  that well over a hundred people turned up in the sunshine to see Ann and Tim's garden and to stuff themselves with dozens of home made cakes.....
After a few hours of slicing victoria sponges and dropping scones onto plates...I quite happily could have not spied another piece of confectionary for a couple of years...... but the slog has been worth it....
I am knackered now......have just dropped some left over fairy cakes and quiche to the pigs ( who sucked up the egg and cheese filling with their eyes shut in blissful excitement!) and am now going to try to catch half an hours sleep before going to work on nights


"Cakes" as far as the eye could see

  4. Sounds like a job well done, hope the night shift is uneventful. Spent this afternoon preparing yet another presentation along the lines of safety, quality and effectiveness for another NHS interview this week.

  18. Congrats and well done. Sorry but I'm a bit of a heathen when it comes to cakes - no matter what kind of cake, I can only eat them with Ambrosia Devon Custard! Yummy!

  19. I had to click on that second picture to get a better look at those lovely - and oh-so-British -cakes. Next time you have leftovers, just pop them into the mail and send them to Canada. I'll even cover the postage!
