We’re off to a friend's, I know there will be quite a few of us so made cake to share. Mr HNBC said wow, it’s a bit OTT!
Is it too much?

Wow, you (& cake) would be welcome at my house!

Tell him from all of us that he is a misery. He does not have to eat it!

It looks great.

Thank you everyone, I had a bit of a confidence wobble with it but hosts were happy to share it around so all well in the end.

It looks scrumptious! If you go to the trouble to make a cake why shouldn't it be extra special?

He's just jealous because there won't be any left for him.

Ooh, save me a slice! Not OTT at all.

I don't think it's OTT at all. I think your friends will be delighted and touched that you've gone to so much trouble for them.

WelshPoppy Tue 09-Dec-25 14:27:36

Totally! I'll send my address to take it off your hands 😋.
No, it's a lovely gesture.

It looks so tempting!

As long as none of your friends are slimming, it looks simply mouth-wateringly delicious.

Are you sure your DH is not just trying to get you to leave it at home, so he can gobble it down tomorrow?

Daisycuddles Tue 09-Dec-25 14:10:18

Not at all. My stomach is rumbling looking at it !

Gwyllt Tue 09-Dec-25 14:08:11

Some people are always negative. Bet it tastes as good as it looks

keepcalmandcavachon Tue 09-Dec-25 14:03:25

Does anyone else see his little smile smile saying I'm truly scrumptious!

Helen657 Tue 09-Dec-25 13:56:17

It looks fabulous!!! I’d be very happy if you were bringing this to a get together I was at!!

Lallylou Tue 09-Dec-25 13:43:16

I think it looks amazing! I'm hopeless at making cakes 🙂
