In answer to your question about 3 days ago
they went very well, thanks. I spent a lot of today (read: about 6 hours) doing this pretty much single-handedly. The icing was well neat and festive...on the inside of the joins /facepalms

Alles schläft?

Tastes fucking good too.
I made the royal icing from scratch, too. -is smug- Just a shame it's a bit wonky. Am claiming it's inspired by Tim Burton, his houses are never straight.

It's avant garde and is a visionary piece highlighting the crooked nature of modern day family life.

Haha
I can't cook. I can bake. And apparently make a nice aubergine dip.

baking is the new 'insert cooking fad'
have you not seen that extreme cake show or whatever it is?
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Fri 24 Dec 2010, 23:06, Reply)

No, never
I bake very sweet things and I tend not to give a shit about what they look like. Though I have to admit my pizzas are pretty damn good, cheaper and nicer than this takeaway shit with only a little more of the effort.

What does your best pizza come topped with?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 24 Dec 2010, 23:28, Reply)

Passata (no bits), lots of black pepper (fresh ground), basil, oregano, herbes de provence
torn mozzarella, sometimes chopped garlic. And depending on the mood sometimes capers.
EDIT: So, yeah, cheese and tomato.

Though I have made a lovely one with no tomato, peccorino (strong sheep's cheese), spinach, egg and rock salt.

Capers?
GET THE FUCK OFF THE INTERNET.

You'll give us all AIDS.

What are you thinking?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 24 Dec 2010, 23:32, Reply)

I quite like them
Little tiny balls of savoury. Less keen on olives though.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Fri 24 Dec 2010, 23:34, Reply)

You freak.
You'll be telling me you like olives next.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 24 Dec 2010, 23:40, Reply)

No, I don't like olives.

What other freak food do you like?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 24 Dec 2010, 23:43, Reply)

Love garlic.
And Marmite. And artificial raspberry ripple ice cream.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Fri 24 Dec 2010, 23:47, Reply)

Nothing wrong with that.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 24 Dec 2010, 23:49, Reply)

Then what's wrong with capers?
I hate vinegar, raw tomatoes, the texture of onions and too much lemon juice in savoury foods.

Fucking heathens.
Send me your olives. I'll scoff 'em.

Where do you live?
I've got a big fast mile muncher although I'm in no fit state to drive it now.

In fact I'm not too sure where I left it.

At the moment, I'm a few miles south of the centre of Manchester
But I wouldn't drive if I were you, I think there's still quite a bit of snow here.

I really like using honey
I didn't have any dark muscovado sugar so I added a bit of treacle instead. And yes, it's a house. I plaited strawberry laces to make a wreath for the door.
