Feeling chuffed is feeling happy, although it's usually used in a context where someone is pleased with themselves/ justifiably proud.
Chuff as a verb can mean fart, depending on where you come from! So the question "Who chuffed?" is very different than "Who is chuffed?" What a ridiculous language. |

A chough, on the other hand, is a type of garden bird. Pronounced "chuff".

Yes, but does anyone like that style? Haha
Just consider me an attention whore as far as this thread goes. I trust the feedback i get from you guys, so although i love the nice comments, i really love feedback about new things i try.

Well, I like blue, so of course I like the color. I love that shade of blue and the "ombre" look is in style right now. The only criticism would be that thee piping is not totally even. But you did explain that the cream was too hard. If you want more criticism, we'd needd to taste it!
 what flavor cake is it? Is it chocolate? I'm craving for some chocolate cake.

chuff means to fart, so be careful to add the 'm if you are expressing pride/pleasure And a chuff could also be one of two bodily orifices. rarely related to being chuffed, although you never know..... We always used to use the expression "tighter than a gnat's chuff," but I'd forgotten until now. I need to re-employ that

I did this cake today for my brothers 40th. He's a wine collector, so it made sense. Just wish I could have found a copy of a label from a '51. Apparently that was the best vintage ever and goes for around $30k/bottle!

There are a few issues, one of two of them glaring, but I'm pretty happy with it as it was the first time I've done this cake, and there were a lot of tricky bits about it. It's all edible except the box btw.

I am impressed! I really thought you got your brother a bottle of wine, hehe. Well, I hope you do have a nice bottle to go with that cake.

I'm chuffed. = I'm pleased with myself.
I chuffed. = I farted. So you need to put the 'm after "I", at least in polite company. Last edited by sexobon; 07-07-2014 at 11:30 PM. Reason: added qualifier |

We did Lola.
Me too limey. It was very well received, and greatly photographed.
