After a rather frustrating morning with BT digging up my phone cable and disconnecting us, we finally have broadband again. It always amazes me how lost I feel when I don't have internet connection - whatever did we do without it??? I remember when I started work as a lawyer, I didn't even have a computer (I am making myself feel old just typing this)! How things have changed.
Anyway to more pleasant matters than phone problems...I have never been good at writing in icing. I think it must be to do with the fact that I do not have very neat hand writing. Lovely Tom, Gill and Penny at Fitzbillies tell me that it is just a question of practise but I am not convinced, or perhaps that I never have time to practise!!! I have however solved the problem for all who do not like icing writing! Simply print the name or your message on you computer and then attaching it with felt and two small buttons on to the cake ribbon with just a few stitches. Now I never need to worry if anyone asks for a name on a cake again!

What a good idea, Hannah. I know what you mean about feeling lost without the internet. We didn't have any for about three weeks last summer and during that period I became a regular face at our local library!
ReplyDeleteLove the cake!

Great idea Hannah! Yes, I was just thinking yesterday how important my computer is for keeping in contact with everyone... talking on Skype, GoogleTalk, facebook, etc. I almost don't know how to write anymore... :)
ReplyDeleteNovel idea Hannah! Well done. I love the cake! I don't know what I would do without the internet either. It's become such a important part of my life!
