I haven't updated in ages, which I suppose says a lot about how exciting my life is ;-)
Anyway these are a bit late, but I've only just rediscovered them on my camera and so thought I'd post the official Photo Story of when Emma and I made the amazing dalek cake!
Picture the scene, if you will - it's Saturday 31st March 2007, Emma and I anxiously awaiting the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who (even though we've already seen it in Swansea), and having decided to attempt to recreate the (quite fabulous looking) Dalek cake recently shown on Blue Peter, the height of culinary expertise. Cue lots of icing sugar-related hilarity and general misadventure until we ended up with one extremely attractive looking cake. And it tasted damn good too.
Of course when I say 'Emma and I', Emma did most of it because I'm, well, rubbish really!
And so the fun begins...
Check out the sheer concentration on Emma's face...
Now it's really shaping up..
Dalek cake gets some ears...
...and the final product! Particularly genius use of the spaghetti as an eye stalk, I feel!
Oh yes, my mother may have laughed when she first saw it, but that didn't stop her from munching on it all the way home in the car....
