Half Caked Diary

I'm not going to give you another recipe yet, I thought I'd write a bit instead. Baking is a science but once you master it then you can try anything you want. The important thing is making sure you have the right equipment as in the right size tins for the mixture you have made. This is one thing I didn't do, I was asked to make a couple of cakes for my nieces, the one was fine it was perfect, the other we had problems with from the start. Me being me bought a tin which I thought was ideal but I hadn't measured it before hand and it didn't fit in the oven. I found another tin which fitted perfectly we made the cake and was ready to decorate it when I realised I didn't have enough icing so we had to improvise using a few well placed sweets. That's the joy in baking if it goes wrong, it goes wrong, don't give in just try again. I would love to be able to decorate at a professional level but you need two things, skill and money and I lack in both so I will keep doing it as a hobby with the sweets on stand by.
