Didn't sniff out the Waitrose fairy cakes either. Or perhaps he did and was as underwhelmed as I was.

I've actually never had a cupcake from Waitrose in my life. It's a posh shop where things are vastly over priced
There's a cafe called Muffin Break in Enfield not far from where my daughter lives where you can get a great flat white and a large, freshly baked on premises cupcake in a variety of flavours for £3.50. Now that's not bad

Spot on! They are very ordinary uninspiring sponge with a great big swirl of sickly stuff on top. I don't know what it is. It looks and behaves like butter cream but just tastes sweet and synthetic without any of the buttery flavour of real butter cream. My Mum used to make better fairy cakes from a packet ( Viola or Viota or something). The decoration looks beautiful but very much a case of style over substance - like plastic fruit! Give me an M&S lemony swiss roll any day.
![]() i make a lovely one with lemon curd and whipped doubled cream CLICK HERE FOR A SLICE |

What she has failed to mention Picto is that it was made with your blood. I think that makes you a cannibal or something. Is there such a thing as autofellatio?

![]() There's many times when i've cut my finger and put it in my mouth to staunch the bleeding, so I am now immune to my own blood. Regarding your last question, according to your internet search history you know very well that autofellatio exists, allegedly.

Mine always crack, not that that is a problem. I had forgotten they use a fatless sponge recipe - bonus.

The cracking is often because they cooked for even a minute too long. They are very precise little things!! i use a recipe from a book published in 1947 and it works every time!!!

Thanks. I am not promising. I haven't made a successful cake since I moved here though. I still make cake like objects but I am not sure it is worth trying anything as sophisticated as a swiss roll.
i think the recipes i have developed are foolproof! i tweaked and tweaked until they were as good as they could get. if you have scales and a handheld whisk-y machine thing (no £400 artisan mixer for me unlike the rest of the Great British Bake Off thread!!!) and greaseproof paper it's cakelicious!!! Seriously though often it's the recipes that are crap. Mary Berry ones are useless they have no flavour...if yu use any of her recipes quadruple the flavour ingredients where it says half a lemon use two lemons etc.... |
