I bought those carrot toppings. They were on sale

I might try to translate your recipe for the Napoleons.
It looks spectacular and if you say it's easy I kinda believe you.
'Cepting I've seen some of your amazing creations already.

Yes I intend to flatter you, but I mean what I say. Your precision and fine motor skills are out of the ordinary. I can make cakes. But I know they are ordinary. No self-flagellation, it's the truth.

I wowed the staffroom with my cheese scones today.
No pics, I've kinda given up documenting my baking.
But I was happy - I thought they were chocoholics. Turns out enough of them like the old savoury snacks after all. I had as many compliments as I did for the carrot cake (the big one).

Mrs B has also suggested paying me to make her some comestibles.
She is currently without a kitchen due to an extension (building work, in case that doesn't translate). Maybe this time I will accept the offer of £. The makey-cakey offer was never in doubt, because I just enjoy it.

You've given the teachers enough. It's about time someone shows some appreciation.

I see a career opening up...
I'll be right over to help you Sundae.

Sorry, I meant instant pudding mix. I did a search, and I think it's available in England too. I found the following brands, such as in Jell-O or Moir's. I grabbed the pictures from twengo.co.uk when I did a search for british instant pudding mix. Hope that helps.

Made cookies for my nephew's birthday this Sunday. My mom saw the Hello Kitty cookies and asked, "Are they pigs?" When I replied no, she said, "Cows?" I almost laughed out loud. I told her they're cats. She later asked if they're cats, how come they don't have whiskers?

I thought of Wolf but I don't have enough to send her any. Next time.

Oh yeah, so I ordered a rocket cookie cutter for the space shuttle theme birthday. We don't have time to decorate them and the person who requested the cookies don't even like icing. Luckily someone pointed out that undecorated rockets will look like little penises. I had to order the star cookie cutter quickly. So, if there's ever a bachlorette party, I can offer to make cookies.

Sorry, I could not resist the pun.
