Swimming upstream

[allana]

Making icing on a hot day is like swimming upstream.

I am hoping that it will set up in the fridge but as I am using evil soya margarine I have no idea how it will behave. The original recipe using butter would have been fine, I think. This is very nerve-wracking.

We have to go and pick up C before the party and I am dreading driving around Bristol with a chocolate cake on my lap!! I may wear a binliner until we get to the party and the cake becomes someone else's problem.

Also. Am having weirdness with my left leg. Periodically the front--from the top of the thigh to the knee--goes numb when I've been standing up for a while. It goes away within a couple of minutes of me sitting down. According to Google this is relatively normal and is either the weight of the uterus pressing on nerves or sciatica. Definitely something to mention when I'm at the consultants on Friday, although since it's driving me mad I might try and see the GP about it.

I can see you ripping a hole in the top of the bin liner and wearing it to the party...and suddenly starting a whole new fashion trend!

Hope that weird numbness isn't anything serious, Ang!

Glam Ang will look great in a bin liner :) Hence the name!

Why soya margarine? Are you avoiding dairy products?

Bin liners work great for the rain too! :P

"In a moment of madness I agreed with Dave that it would be nice to make a cake for a friend's girlfriend's birthday on Saturday. (I quite fancied doing some baking.) A few moments later sirens and flashing lights went off in my head. She's wheat intolerant. Five minutes later and I'm on the phone to her boyfriend--she's actually wheat, gluten and lactose intolerant."

Im glad you were able to accomplish what you set out to do here. Im sure it will be greatly appreciated! :)

Hopefully the numbness isnt serious. Keep us posted!

All the cake was gone in less than 15 minutes :) I'm just sad that we didn't get a decent picture of it before it was cut.

It was surprisingly tasty for something so restrictive!

I was making a cake for a girl who is wheat, gluten and lactose intolerant so my fridge is now full of weird stuff. I'm far too nice sometimes :P
