Those types of cookies always seem like so much effort for something that's just going to be destroyed in 3 seconds.

Destroyed? You mean they don't get sealed in plastic to hand down from mother to daughter for generations?

I feel the same about roast dinners. I can spend all afternoon cooking a one-pot meal (which is mostly just a case of watching TV and keeping an eye on the clock) but the faff of peeling veg, getting timings right, carving meat and washing up fatty pans is FAR too much effort for me.

I'd probably have a go at something as pretty as one of those cookies though, if I had a steadier hand that is...

Good Job! Did you mix that cake in a bowel?

I'm guessing you didn't forget that one because you had written it in your
Diary o' cakes.....

I'll get my coat

Do you get the lace ready-made or DIY?

....if the latter, that must be a really time-consuming part of it

Lace is really simple these days. You can still do it by hand, but I doubt that anyone does other than for competitions. These days you buy a silicone mat and pour a lace liquid (there are a number of different brands) then scree it off, let it set - either in the air or quickly in the oven at a low heat (which is usually how I end up doing it because I never get my shit together early enough to air dry it, and it takes 8 hours or so to set by itself, which means refrigerating the mix then bringing it up to room temp to use etc. If I do it in the oven it takes about 10 mins and I can just leave the bowl of lace mix on the bench while that happens so I can do the next batch. For larger cakes it's usually necessary to do several lots of lace because the molds are not long enough to go around the whole cake.
