@hanami , @FloatingFeather  i went to icing decorations classes where you make decorations for cakes 😍

Awwh, thanks @Shaz51 - that's really sweet of you 🙂

Oh nice one @Shaz51 . I cannot for the life of me do good cake decorating. My icing pipings just flop every time. 😐🤣

I'll give you a 'Gold' badge for that gorgeous card, @Shaz51. You've been keeping your skills hidden.

I'm also a bit of a poor cook too, @FloatingFeather. I seem to always forget something. I do alright with cakes, biscuits and desserts, but main course is a bit hit and miss. I used to do much better, but cooking for one doesn't lend itself to being very adventurous, and with my small kitchen...it's just not suitable for experimenting. Oh well...

Perhaps we just haven't been crossing paths, but I haven't seen much of @greenpea lately. I hope all goes well.

Edit: I now see she has been active on the music thread. Just like to check in on folk from time to time. All is well.

Hi @Historylover,

It's nice to hear from you. I hope you are well. You sound a bit like me with your mains - I'm a bit hit and miss too plus I just never had the passion for cooking. I really wish I did but I just see cooking as a chore. I'd love to be one of those people that could whip an amazing meal but I guess that's just not me. 

I do agree that when you are cooking for one it doesn't lend itself so much for whipping up something new and fresh very often. When I do cook just for me it's usually some toast and tinned spaghetti!

Sounds like you do well in the sweet department though. Nothing like a home made cake fresh out of the oven.

Wishing you a good week ahead - always nice to see you on the Forums.

Warm wishes,

FloatingFeather
