The 1 present that had me speechless, dumbfounded and gobsmacked was ....
My friend asked if I had a recipe for Christmas cake.
I didn't personally but I knew there was 1 that my mum made every year.
I got my mums old recipe book and took a photo of her handwritten recipe for Christmas cake.
Then the day arrived when me and my friend swapped presents, she asked me to open mine there and then, which I did.
There sat in the box was a Christmas cake with the recipe in mums handwriting on top !!
I stared stared and stared because I couldnt take it all in.
I muttered "Thats my mums writing, how has it got on top of this cake?????"
What she had done ( my friend) was found a website that prints ANYTHING onto icing !! So she had made mums Christmas cake and the decorative icing on top was my mums handwriting ..... took me ages to get it 8n my head....
