Me Thin?

Yeah right. And here is one of the reasons why I'm not.


Emily made cupcakes on the weekend. Her piping skills far exceed mine. Seriously impressed with her chocolate roses.

If a bunch of luscious chocolate cupcakes wasn't enough to tempt me, then this appeared in our kitchen last night. This time Helen was the culprit.


The perspective doesn't truly give you a true impression of how big this ombre cake is. It's about six inches high for one. And there are four layers under that icing, with lemon curd and raspberry jam too. Once again, the piping skills put mine to shame.

So I can't lose weight because my girls are damn good bakers...

... and I have no willpower at all. That may factor into the equation.

  1. You can't blame yourself Susan. Everyone knows you're a brilliant mother and a brilliant mother doesn't refuse to eat the cakes her daughters have slaved over, does she? Now to teach my step daughter to bake so i can be an excellent mother too!
