Homemade Birthdays.

So, most of my fellow pgs have had a homemade birthday cake from me at least once - I say most because there has been a new influx since we moved (and I might of accidentally missed one persons, for which I am sorry!). They have ranged from Pebble decorated madness to gluten free, I even have taken up a tradition of baking my own birthday cake. This tradition was not appreciated when I had an allergic reaction to the pineapple in my magnificant Hummingbird cake I made a few years back. Off the point, so on Thursday its Kermie's birthday. Now, I can say that I am baking Kermie a cake because Kermie knows - even had input to what flavour - well it was always going to be chocolate but it needed a kick so its going to chocolate orange. When I say it needed a kick it really does, because this year -shock horror- I am making a cake out of the box - Betty Crocker style!

I have used Betty's batter before, in my one experiment with cake pops at my Master's Graduation party at the end of last year - they ended up being cake pops without the pop - so they went on the truffle tray!! Was truly a master of no trades that day!lol I actually like they way the Crocker Cakes turn out and the no fuss, very little muss that it produces.I HAVE NO SHAME!! I even converted my Mother - who would never have made anything from a packet unless it was Jelly! It seems in both our ever increasing age and ever decreasing time in the day has allowed us to adapt and still maintain a sense of pride about using a box of cake mix!

Stay tuned for an update - I will post the picture of how it turned out on Thursday!! lol
Happy baking, Fozzie
