i know its not gardening but i also know some goyers like baking and with the weather lol might be useful! :o)
tom (…and me) got the late night sweet craving but nowt in and no money for tescos so had a quick google at what i could rustle up and found a great banana muffin recipe so its kind of a plant blog :o) i cut small chuncks instead of mashing the banana and sprinkled glitter on them, theyre gorgeous! sat stuffing my face as i write this lol! crunchy on top but soft and squidgy inside.
if anyone wants the recipe just shout-its really easy. i might try adding oats or bran for the kids.
heres my first attempt at a trifle with real strawberries and toblerone shavings but nobody told me tinned custard doesnt set!! still yummi tho!
and here toms 23rd bday cake i made as you can see he support doncaster rovers fc lol :o)
this is the one i did for my sis in-laws 16th took me all day and night, glitter, feathers and lots of icing! i heard her party was wild lol
:o)
thanks for reading…muffin anyone?! :o)

Oops must have posted at the same time pixi. ive been good for last 2week not eating late and healthy! but when i think ive not eaten much in the day i like to think its ok to eat half a dozen muffins lol :o)

Is that a similar question to whats heavier, a tonne of lead or a tonne of feathers?? :-P

You are very talented when it comes to providing decorated cakes. They look too good to eat. Yes Please to the muffin recipe.

These look great,Leigh..It must have taken you ages...what time do you get to bed at night? you always seem to be busy doing something..especially with two little boys to look after as well..It's nice to make your own though,much nicer than bought stuff..:o)

I`m playing catchup Leigh, only just saw this one, your cakes look really yummy, I have to say I think you`ve made a grand job with the birthday cakes, I have never been any good at decorating them, I had a smile at your custard comment....

Thanks lincs, lol I know, it looked gross in the bowl but tasted delish! :-)

For Scotsgran- finally found the website I got the recipe from, i added edible glitter for decor and probably wise to use actually muffin cases rather than cupcake ones lol, thats all I had...enjoy!

Just had a look at the link,Leigh..and bookmarked it..might have a go sometime...looks good..I converted the page into metric though..as not very good at measuring in cups ,the American way ..all I need is ripe bananas..they never seem to last long enough to get to that stage ! :o)

Lol-naana's dont last very long in our house either, ive always called alf a cheeky monkey and he lives up to it! I find it easier actually, using 'cups' though I dont really know what size lol. :-) theyre really easy, instead of mashing the naanas l cut them in chunks about a centhmeter and the crunchy top followed by the gooeyness was just yummeee!!! :-)

Thanks for the tip ,Leigh.. Might try that :o)
