You've kindly made it easier for all of us to follow you now (it looks like a great way to use up veggies?!)<BR/><BR/>Don't laugh, but I loved your giraffe cake so much, and it brought back so many lovely memories of a certain cake I'm hoping to recapture from my own childhood that I just bought the book on ebay!Lysyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415024852684873909noreply@blogger.com
