I can’t get onto Facebook …
.. is anyone else having a problem ?
Another birthday !! This time it’s my son, Carl, whose birthday was during the week. We celebrated yesterday with a family braai and of course … a ‘Granny/Mom Speciality’ birthday cake …
Never trust an oven repair chappie who says the oven is fixed … and ALWAYS test the oven before you need it !!! Oh boy .. did I have a problem ..
Had to sit in front of the oven door … with a torch shining onto the oven thermometre which was inside the oven (the oven light doesn’t work) and keep adjusting the temperature whilst the cake was baking …
Cake came out a little burnt on sides but passable … pud was rather crusty on top before it even cooked inside so had to leave it in for a longer period .. also watching it’s progess through the oven door …
.. then I was brave enough to try meringues because .. hey .. I was getting the hang of this 🙂 .. well .. that was a flop!! Little ballies that were like eating spoonfuls of sugar 🙁 . Second batch worked out better and were a success .. not one left! .. served with oodles of whipped cream.
Happy Birthday my boy!! How time has flown … from a tiny 1.6kg baby to a man both Dad and I couldn’t be prouder of ….

Happy Birthday Carl!!! Your cake still looks fantastic, well done xxxx
Happy Birthday to Carl. Avril, go twist the man’s arm for that thermofan oven. Really, they are not expensive and a baker’s dream. Last weekend I baked 12 caupcakes and two pans of midi cakes in one shot – 20 minutes all done.
Wow ! – maybe I should … problem is I have a built-in Defy Slimline so space is limited – thermofans are wide aren’t they?
Perhaps this year my wife will bake me a cake with a 36 made of smarties on my birthday.
No problems with FB on my side.
Happy Birthday to your handsome son….so sorry about the stove problems…looks like the family didn’t mind…
Happy Birthday to your son Avril! That cake looks fantastic!
Well, I haven’t been able to acces Facebook at all for weeks now. The only way I can go in is from a thread on my email I wonder why. Tried to find a way of actually contacting FB, but all you can do is see if there is the same query from someone else and see who might have a solution. Rediculous really.
