Mothers Day 2010

This year I baked a cake! Late saturday night, while watching "Hot Fuzz" I baked an orange popyseed cake. After spending almost an hour in the oven and another half hour cooling, it finally struck me, as I was icing this delicious pile of scrumptiousness, that I did not own a plastic container large enough to store this cake in! Oppps....

After hunting high and low, I found the bamboo skewers I knew I had and cut them into toothpick lengths to attempt to hold cling wrap off the icing... alas, attempts were futile. Today I bought a "cake carrier" from Coles, crisis averted, and only a week too late! Now I need another excuse to bake a cake! :) I digress....

So on Sunday I drove with said cake on the front passenger seat of the car to Melton, before continuing on to Ballarat. We had afternoon tea with Nan and Pa who talked for hours. It was a lovely afternoon with lots of coffee, cake, cheese and crackers, not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
