I have made very good ones in the past - without chocolate though. Cake was termed "posh cake" at work because of the minstrels.<br /><br />Dom - what nonsense you talk, your cake looked great.<br /><br />Joanna - thank you, that was a lovely comment and made me smile. May not be quite as satisfying, but heaps better for your waistline.<br /><br />Bridgett - thank you<br /><br />Johanna - thanks, that's a very positive spin you gave to my mistake - much appreciated.<br /><br />Margaret - thank you.
