On Thursday, I left school with a few ideas. My ideas are not always good, but still…
The first was to get my nails done. I opted for some chrome talons, to brighten my day…
Fingers and tootsies done, I headed off to pick the children up from my in-laws. We had the Macmillan Coffee Morning the next day, and a cake sale, for charity, so I thought why not bake a batch or two of cupcakes for school!
Off we trotted to the supermarket to get the right ingredients, me tapping my new, shiny nails everywhere! (Love them!)
And the baking started in earnest. Lil Princess was eager to help so she took hold of the electric whisk and we got beating…
The rise was amazing… during the first 5 minutes, then they started to dip…
I ended up with two trays of sweet Yorkshire puddings!
In all my time baking, never have I had that happen to me! I was devastated! And i had even got the buttercream icing ready to pipe too!
So frustrated was I that I anger-iced the cakes… and after that, there was no way I could take them anywhere to sell!
Though Hubby Dearest and the kids assured me they were beautifully edible, if a tad crisp around the edges!
What was the point of rushing around the supermarket, for them!?
Sigh! Possible overbeating, I was informed by a friend who is a baker!
Still, at least my nails look good….
But I Smile Anyway...
