DD's birthday is the day after Valentine's Day so it has always been a tradition that I make her a heart shaped cake coloured pink all through - cake and icing. I have just made a mixture using best free range eggs. Added pink colouring (like wot I always do) and it has gone a muddy beige colour! Looks totally gross.

Looked on the bottle of colouring and, in tiny letters it says, "not bake stable". Looked on Internet and apparently you can only use artificial colourings for the actual cake. And guess what? You can't buy artificial colourings any more. hmm

So, shall I just have a nice little trip to the shops and buy a cake? Baking is over-rated, isn't it.

I stand in awe of anyone who can produce things like that! It puts my minion cake to shame! (But GS loved it!). I'll have to step up my game considerably!

Thanks.

It was on the vegetables galore thread. (If you click on the blue "I'm on' button near the top of the page, it shows a list of threads you have posted on - useful for finding lost posts))
