Thanks Dana! I love the ones you got, too!

Pico, what is that (are those)?

Spotlights?

I'm jealous, too, btw. I need a new pair of boots something awful.

Like MTP, I get SO excited when I buy something for someone else :)
I've been told off for it before. But that's more about me not sticking to budget as opposed to me overdosing on joy.

My lovely prize this year?
Check out the Bundt Cake thread.
Naughty SG went ahead anyway (third person in a childish attempt to absolve myself of censure) It doesn't look all that tidy because of the rum glaze giving it different colours, and the fact I finally realised I should take a photo about 5 seconds before the entire staffroom descended upon it. It came out of the mould like a dream. I wouldn't necessarily use that recipe again, but I've tried a chocolate/ kirsch one in a smaller mould that received equal approbation, so that might get another outing.

Oh and the mould is HU-UGE!
I knew this technically, but on receipt it still blew my mind. It's as big - if not bigger - than the buckets we used to make sandcastles! It would be lovely for jelly (if you had enough people to eat it!) Definitely a staff room cake mould.

Its a tripod flashlight. I saw this in Lowe's years ago and sorta wanted it then, but thought I'd end up not using it. I don't know how many times I needed it since, so I finally got it. Its perfect for those times when need a flashlight but don't have that third hand to hold it.

YUM, SG! That looks awesome.

SG: you creative girl, you.

That would be handy, Pico.

me has. Is good.

Sundae, that cake is wonderful!

Wouldn't it be more useful just to get a third hand?

Staying at the nuke plant long enough to acquire the third hand, would probably produce a glow that would preclude the need for a flashlight.;)

This is where the picture of the cake was. I wondered how the cake turn out. It looks great! Makes me want to make one for parties just cuz it's so pretty. :D How did the chocolate/kirsch cake taste?
