Barbara has turned 75! three quarters of a centry so we baked her cake and made some sandwitches and told her to invite some people to dinner.
The cake was chocolate cake with lots of topping as she had said she likes lots of topping! I also put chocolate chips and things on it 
It was obviously a 75 - Barbara confessed she was scared I'd made a watering can or something tacky like that :/
The cake went down well even if Barbara had phoned Mary in a panic and got her to bring a cake round as I had planned to make the cake Sunday morning so it would be nice and fresh and as there was no obvious finished cake Sunday morning Barbara was panicking she'd have nothing to feed her guests.
(we were at a Wedding the night before in London!)
Barbara's friend Hanna brought a balloon round for Jean which was an instant hit!
And then it was presant time!
The Dutera is a pretty plant but came with a warning that it has poisonous bits so to watch Jean.
It seemed to go very well.
There are cute pictures of Jean decorating Easter Egg shaped ginger biscuits over on the Salaric Cooking Blog I have only just gotten around to putting the post live - doh!
Jean hates pancakes but loves the fillings it turns out - which include bean sprouts - her culinary experiments can be seen on Salaric Cooking.
As promised the butterfly cakes construction is now on our cooking blog.
Salaric-Cooking
I'm hoping to have some of the other cakes and things on there soon!
Ok so I realised that I hadn't actually remembered to put this public so yes request one is now after request II - sigh!
As some of you know I have a cooking blog which I have been neglectful over telling people about!
I am looking for recipes for it, I would especially like all those ones that people don't really think about you know - grans chicken soup that sort of thing. Becca, @ndy and Ella have already contributed. Which is cool.
I am veiwing the cooking blog as a sort of research tool and store of recipes. Any interesting food facts are welcome too
When I say cooking I mean everything form how to make a sandwitch to making preserves to making wine, butter etc... The blog still need some work as it was sort of abandoned with all the flood stuff and the posts that are live aren't even edited yet but its getting there
Also any cool food websites you know about - let me know - if you have a food bit on your blog let me know etc...
I still have like a hundred recipes to type up from when we lived at Barbaras for it as well.
