Decorating By hailinguk Updated 25 Aug 2017 , 10:29am by Magic Mouthfuls
AYes I have the a few times when they wont cut it, which worries me then as it isn't fresh, how long would you say like a fondant cake will last lizzy?
AOh a while nanny. I've had my choc on the worktop with no issues for 10 days, and sugar syruped vanilla for a week. I don't advocate that for customers, but a few days won't be a problem.
Edit - they hadn't gone off at this point, but the kids refused to leave it any more :-)
AEvening all, well that was an eventful evening. Took kids out this arvo and got back at 5 they wanted to all go up stairs and watch a film, result, I can make gelatine bubbles. Hour or so later (havent started the bubbles thought is watch an amazing wedding cake first) and my smallest small crys out and the biggest small says he's cut his foot, go check him and he pouring blood out his foot and has obviously got something in it. I can't get it out so off to A&E we go. Had to take all 3 kids as hubby away tonight, local anaesthetic to the foot and lots of screaming later a shard of glass comes out of his foot :(. My poor boy, he's only 2 and now doesn't like doctors. No gelatine bubbles tonight now.
I haven't really had a chance to catch up so sorry for not mentioning anyone but it's been emotional here tonight's :(
Evening all
Hope hes ok Siany, bless him nothing like a bog ouchy to make them scared of hospitals. Marvel i use them a lot for boxes and boards :)
Well no cakey stuff today for me, just too tired but will have to go non stop tomorrow now
I have been editing all my photos and just finished doing a website update, taken lots off and put some new things on and had a general jiggle about. Can I ask your opinions please? Have i missed anything or anything you think should be there? I probably wont be doing anything with it for a while now apart from the odd picture so want to make sure its ok iykwim
Oh well, heads all over the place and the neck is starting to stiffen so I shall take up my position with the O2 cylinder
Thanks in advance and thank you for all the health vibes being sent x
Andrea
AOh Andrea, I do feel so sorry for you!
Hurry up and get better we need ninja tiddy back.xx
AOh no I hope he's okay jo! Lovely cake Maisie! Not missed anyone have I?
If I know them nanny I'll say "let me know how it is!" :) I'm off over that little shop in ystrad with my mum tomorrow should be fun!
AHi kuuushi, I always do, and it was the last thing we said before I got in the car.
Hide your purse kuuushi, have you ever been there before? I warn you you'll spend loads, say hi to them or me. Not got any cakes on the horizon so no excuse to go, sadly.
Oh no!! Poor boy. Hope he's ok. Hope you're ok, too! Why do these things happen when other half isn't around?
AOh tidds you posted as I was typing!
I'll have a look at the website and PM you if I think anything, but I doubt it!
Shall I take it that our mini meet up is off? :( I really hope you get better soon!

Im holding my breathe at the moment kuushi I did venture out today with my daughter but had a mini panic attack as soon as i realised i didnt have my injections in my bag! They very rarely get me during the day but today they have.
If I have a pain free night on Wednesday I may be ok
AAw Siany, poor little thing! Big cwtches for him and for you. X
Nanny I think in this case of they're a friend of yours, yes they should let you know what they thought if the cake, they should thank you without being prompted too. A paying customer is a bit different I think. No news is good news, you'll soon hear about it if there's a problem. My sons cake is still ok (choc sponge) it was out for about 5 days and been in the fridge since. It's not fresh enough to be served at a party but it's still fine to eat. I made a plain sponge (uniced) for my auntie last Wednesday, it's been kept in a tin, I tasted it today and it's still really fresh. Probably wouldn't be unless it's been in a tin tho. It annoys me when people don't cut it for days too. By the time they do then it's past it's best and whoever's eating it thinks that's what your cake tastes like.
Night jo. :-)
AAwh tidds that's not great! Is there not something that can be done when you have the attacks? There has to be something they can do for you. It's cruel!
Well either way let me know what us happening. Would be nice to see you there and you never know a different atmosphere may take your mind of it. I doubt it will but it's worth a try if your feeling okay! :) xx
AI did charge him Maisie, he's a friend but I'm not a charity either, however he did go silent when I told him the price when he first asked me to make it ha ha, obviously when I delivered it,he made a point of saying, its just cake, don't you just love it when people say that?

no nowt I dont think a lottery win would take my mind of it tbh kuuushi
ASorry Lizzy, missed your post. Love the punk aliens on a black cake idea, I'm gona tell my mam, she'll love it!
Nice to see you tiddy, sending more health vibes, don't think they're doing you any good tho are they?
I HATE when people say "it's just a cake" nanny! No, it's not just a cake! It's hours and hours of work, hours of planning, days of worrying. It's days thinking about the recipient and how much you want to do a good job for them. It's a big ole dose of concentrated love, decorated with an even bigger dose of dedication.
Or sometimes it's felt tip pens and a dead alien! :-D

Would be great if you were well enough to come. Don't think I can put up with that beach in my own lol! Xx
Nanny. I I've never been before, taking my purse and a list. No deviating! Haha
AGood luck kuuushi, when Ron gets to you and you ask him questions, you wont get out alive!!!
Love the dead alien Maisie.!
AWow nanny your up early! Work today?
I've been up all night. Ever since I fainted I've developed this sore throat and chest cough. Went to docs yesterday and she put me on a course of antibiotics. Slept about three hours last night! Boo I'm so tired! Just gonna wear myself out today so I am dead beat and have no choice but to sleep!
Stayed with my mammy last night because I'm bardy :( hahah!
AYep work today, now I'm partime, I dont mind going so much, ha ha.
Aw bless you, antibiotics will sort you out, you probably fainted as your fulltime and working on cakes all the time, and obviously not eating!
AYup! But it's all over! Eid today! It's like Arab Christmas lol
Kathy was it you who was gonna giver a cake for Eid? Today is Eid :)
Taking my nan with us today too. She loves stuff like that lol so were making it a family outing. Going for lunch somewhere too I expect. Hopefully my cough won't kill me too much. You'd swear I'm trying to cough up a hair ball!
Have a nice day at work nanny!! :)
Well I had my first pain free night in days only to be awoken by the beast this morning
Now the website is out the way I have to play catch up...so a shoe to begin and three cakes to bake along with 50 cupcakes! Hope the head behaves
AYou did make me chuckle kuuushi, going to your mum because you're poorly (not chuckling at you *being* poorly obviously!). My sister does that; there's nothing like your mum when you feel ill is there?
When hubby is ill be likes to be left alone, so he thinks that's what I want when I'm ill. No! Share my misery! Mums will make you feel better though :-)
I don't know how I missed that you'd fainted though? Was it the fasting? I'm probably being really gormless here, but I take it you can drink water during the fast so you're not dehydrated?
Hope you feel better soon though x

As far as I'm aware, you're not allowed to consume anything between dawn and dusk - including water. Although I could be wrong...
AMorning all, little dude seems ok this morning so day out as planned I think. Thanks for all your well wishes for him. He keeps saying 'doctor fix it' so I don't think he is going to be terrfied of doctors which was my worry yesterday.
Kuuushi and tiddy hope you feel better soon. Kuuushi I think you fainted because you were coming down with this bug, that mixed with fasting was enough to knock your body out.
Maisie, love the dead alien cake, great family contribution :)
M4rvel £60 but but but it's 'just cake' :D *ducks from thrown objects*
Lizzy, I'm just like your husband, I like to be left alone when I'm ill. Not much chance of that here though lol
Erm have I missed anyone?

Oh yes, nothing like mammys offers of cups of tea haha!
I wish Lizzy, there's nothing. Down to not even being able to clean your teeth so you have to make extra sure you clean your teeth like three times before you go to bed so you don't stink. It's brutal! I would have given anything for a glass of water! Nevermind though lol, it's all done now until next year!
