    I volunteered to make my granddaughters birthday cake. I’ve made bread before and bak

    Well I can’t do anything by half.
    So a CAD drawing is a good start. That told me how many cakes I needed for the construction, oh it’s a pirate ship cake, and my drawing indicated 5 cakes, so I baked 6.
    School of YouTube for the crash icing course, and eBay and Amazon for the icing tools and fondant. Before I know it I have already spent £48 and thats without accounting for the cake basics.
    It’s taken me 3 days to bake, construct and ice.
    I don’t think I’ll take it up as a profession.
    I hope my other granddaughter wants a handbag themed party. LOL.

    That looks great.

    Don't think I'd ever waste so much time doing something like this for my kids.

    But apparently Grandkids are different and worth the effort!

    That is exactly what was said at the party this afternoon. You just don’t have the time for your own, I didn’t.
    But there is this age thing when you are in your 60s were you think, I best do a bit more before there is no time. Lol.

    Nice job Dudley

    I suppose you weren't allowed to make the crew members from Captain Pugwash were you?
