I'm using a packet mix for Mum's (cooking on Thursday)
Ssssssssh!

But I'm making choc-fudge, and Mum is so proud of her own chocolate cake...
I never really got it, but everyone in memory asked for the recipe. So I thought I'd best give myself every possible advantage - especially as our scales are so woeful. She's getting digital scales from me as a present. Esp as it is a present for both of us (they are accurate enough to use for working out postage too - hurray!)

One thing I forgot - we all felt gypped if someone brought in homemade cakes for their birthday when I worked in an office. But when I made my own for school this year I was universally admired. If I'm still there next July they'd better hold onto their seats, because I'll be going all out with American style cupcakes. Still SO much cheaper than buying them and my goodness the fun I can have now I've discovered edible glitter...
