GN April Fool

I went very technical , shysal , but for each step had to find out how to do it - I copied the GN choc cake photo to Photoshop, found pics online of chicks (for spring) and a floor pail (for the anagram) and fiddled about changing sizes of things and trying to make a row of chicks look as though they were marching around the side of a round cake. Stuck pics of chicks and pail onto pic of cake OK once I had worked out how to. Added text of the date and "FLOOR PAIL" in tasteful yellow and green.

Then I lost it all before it was saved. My masterpiece!

In the Mail today they announced that Olivia Coleman was to be the next James Bond.

You could have submitted the month's worth of cakes list anyway, Elegran, with very sketchy ingredients! grin

What a shame, Elegran. Wouldn't a disaster have added to the joke? What did you try?

Elegran Fri 01-Apr-16 12:35:39

It took me too long and became a disaster cake anyway, so you are spared my artistic endeavours!

Too soon, Ana. Needs time for cogitation, and a spot of computer work. I am about to go for a shower, that might clear the brain.

Shall we all meet here in an hour (longer?) to compare attempts at an answer?

Wouldn't want to stand against the country's favourite Granny

I've seen it. Wonder whether there have been any takers yet? grin

Could be genuine but I don't think so grin

Elegran Fri 01-Apr-16 09:52:47

I saw it. I am trying to think up a suitable response. It'll take a bit of planning.

I had to search but now I see it grin

I think it's probably genuine grin.

No, am now on a mission grin
Question is can it be seen on desktop and mobile?
