The great bake off

Today was the baking day.

It went ok, so im not quite up to Masterchef standards, and never likely to be, but me and daughter did well, it looked alright and didnt taste too bad either.....icing was a bit runny!

But goodness me, a couple mothers there, you would think one was competing in Masterchef!  one even brought her own mixer (which she made of point of letting everyone know how expensive it is), chopping board and utensils with her, and took it very, very seriously, my comment of "you might as well have brought your oven" didnt go down well...the look..well the look she gave me was one that showed no amusement, obviously my sense of humour isnt for everyone!

I did commit a grave sin, i licked the wooden spoon!  i thought posh mum might have a fit there and then.

  2. She brought her own mixer?! *hand forehead*

    I thought licking the spoon was a mandatory part of baking. Lol.

    1. It's a mandatory thing in my family. And the mixers. Oh, the bowl too!

      Glad it went better than you anticipated. Hopefully you two had a great time.

  4. Hi Tori, good for you and your daughter! Awesome :) Had to laugh at the mum who brought her own mixer. Can't believe how competitive some get! I thought licking the spoon was mandatory too :)

  5. Maybe posh-mom is into ttwd, and has strict rules only to use her masters tools and if any licking needs to occur it is his balls and nothing else :)
