Nine for a seasonal lunch..

And more fun than I intended with the baking! I borrowed a mixer and couldn't detach the beaters which were of course covered in the cake mix, and raised out of the bowl..
'I wonder if it only works when it is switched on?' I thought....

and switched it on! I can't believe I did this! We had to change our clothes and clean the kitchen down - walls, cupboards, floor.

I'm laughing now (but I wasn't then).

The children transformed this...(spot the robin!)

..to this zany character with wild tomato eyes and leery gummy grin!
 
Two year old Scott calls it a 'Punkin' - a name which will probably stick in the family now.

Have fun tonight....

been there! done that! isn't it funny how in a mad moment we do things that make NO sense?...recently, in a hurry, and needing to lightly chop some sesame seeds, i put them through the coffee bean grinder and had sesame butter oozing thru the shoot...it was awful to clean!! and i really wondered where my head must have been....i must say, your cake looks so cute though...next time..let's have photos of the mess also..:-)

Photos of the mess!! Nothing was further from my mind Julia. I was in tears, saying why do I bother, why don't I just go to the garage and buy a cake....Barry was the calm one and began clearing up, bless him (even though he was all spattered too) Well done with the sesame seeds! I once tried to crispen up brandy snaps under the grill....

Yes, a garage cake would probably have been easier and no doubt would taste fine - last long (think preservatives etc) BUT your cake, however many hiccups it started with, was made with LOVE. You cannot buy that in any garage!!!!! Love Mx

Your cake and punkin look so good. I can imagine the scene in your kitchen with the cake mixture everywhere, it did make me laugh! Hope you had a good lunch.The robin was so well camouflaged, it took me a while to see it!

oops..As I told the family over lunch that it started with me cracking an egg and putting the egg in the compost and the shell in the bowl - my daughter said 'You should have stopped then...' One of those days!
