Was going to do a dead celebrity wid ye then thought about cake instead. I’ve never made a proper cake. Made a baked cheesecake a couple of times but. It sure that actually counts as a proper cake.
The chance would be a fine thing by the way, I've got no chance of being able to make one. I bought the Mrs one of those behemoth retro stand mixers for Christmas a couple of years back and it is always in action. She bakes like ****, all the time. She made three Christmas cakes this year. My only contribution was sneaking in the kitchen and putting a massive slug of Navy dark rum in the mix. Pavlovas, drizzle, Madeira, carrot, the lot get made. I'll never buy a better Christmas present. I don't even try really, she's having a sweatshirt this year and she bought that herself.
My mrs wants a poncho. May just make one out of a bin liner and wrap it up. Her face will be priceless on Christmas morning.
The daughter in law brought me round a carrot cake the other week. I sloped downstairs at 1am for a slice with a mug of tea. Was very moist her cake.
