Oh unexpected, and very nice of you, thanks Nicko . Had I not found this site, I doubt very much that my birthday presents would include Larousse Gastronomique and McGEE on Food and Cooking.

It's also only since I've been here, that I've had the confidence to go on and do things like bake my own birthday cake - and be fairly confident it would be fine.

Thanks to all who have taken the time to help along the way.

Hope your cake turned out well - just the fact that you made the attempt is great. The rush of trying a recipe for the first time and having it come out right for us home cooks can be so good for the ego.


Enjoy the day,

Willie

Thanks Willie24 - it's my second venture into cake making and it turned out well thanks. I'm fairly confident I can reproduce this recipe to order now - and yes, it's very pleasing to move on another step.

Cheers Ed and thanks for the ongoing support fella, very much appreciated.
