I started to arrange to walnuts for the photo so the skins would be down and it would look more perfect--then I realized that was silly. <br />The co-baker post is open to you if you ever get this way.<br /><br />Jini,<br />Was it more like pudding or did it have a real cake texture? I just don't get how it would work.<br />Everyone knows that Edinians are "cake-eaters," so I'm surprised you don't have luck with cakes. Of course, true Edinians hire their own chefs to bake for them, and they just have to eat. :-)Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-8790453630446822652009-06-12T20:02:45.043-07:002009-06-12T20:02:45.043-07:00well, tadahhhhhhh. i baked the cake in a mug and ...well, tadahhhhhhh. i baked the cake in a mug and it was amazingly tasty. don and i split it and had it with ice cream. yum. <br />your cakes look lovely marie, and i must add that the bundt pan was invented by an edinan. :) i have not had great success with cakes, but i guess i will need to get the book and try these. they look delicious. sarah did a great job with the daisies!jinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13274997124184312649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-68326406567558003432009-06-12T19:25:27.911-07:002009-06-12T19:25:27.911-07:00Marie

However having said that I would never ever refuse a piece of chocolate cake if it was the only dessert offered and if it was black chocolate party cake I would probably go for seconds. This cake looks wonderfully moist. Simple cakes that do not need much adornments are my favourite cakes to bake. I am glad to see that your walnuts are not completely rid of their skins after you have rubbed them with a tea cloth. I can never get all of the skins off either. From a phote I've seen Rose gets her walnuts completed skinned. I don't know how she does it.<br />By the way I would gladly volunteer as your co-worker if only I lived close by.doughadearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107772878761525846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-70699371207699102202009-06-12T14:37:24.040-07:002009-06-12T14:37:24.040-07:00Don't worry Marie!

I didn't realize that, but now we both know.<br /><br />Melinda,<br />Yes, there are several recipes that strike fear into my heart! There's one that requires spun sugar, and one that's shaped like a pine cone, and one that calls for quail eggs, for example. I think I may need a co-baker on some of them.<br /><br />Anon.,<br />Sorry to disappoint, but it looks like I've gone through the recipes that are available.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-8106396195838199292009-06-12T13:01:24.849-07:002009-06-12T13:01:24.849-07:00I'm disappointed that the last two cakes you m...I'm disappointed that the last two cakes you made were the same one that were available to all of us in Rose's BLAD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-43123983156531670602009-06-12T08:36:27.333-07:002009-06-12T08:36:27.333-07:00What is wrong with you, woman?
