Steve's mom and dad are cake makers/decorators.
his mom makes the cakes and his dad decorates them by hand - amazing to see this bloke sat making tiny beatuiful sugar flowers and such.
well, we asked them to make a cake for my nan and granddad's wedding anniversary.
The anniversary is tommorow.
We asked them 4-5 weeks ago.
Steve called up last night to ask if we can pick up the cake tonight....
They haven't made it!
I knew this was going to happen.
I mean I trust his mom and dad, but they are in the process of moving house.
I even asked them outright "are you going to be able to do this with the move and everything?"
yes, yes of course.
They forgot.
soooooooo..............
I *can* make cakes but they aren't "flat" they normally rise in the middle.
so later today (7.30am now) we're going to hobbycraft to get a cake tin set, pre-made flowers, and other bits, and *I* am now making the cake.
A 3 tier cake (mock wedding cake) in just over 24 hours

this is going to be fun and so not what I needed to happen grrrrrr.
In fact, we wanted the small tier to be fruit cake (because some like fruit cake, but most prefer sponge) and fruit cake needs time to mature so we might just go buy a small fruit cake for the top layer.
Wish me/us luck 'cuz we're going to need every last bit we can get to pull this off now.
