WHAT A DAY!

Started at the crack of dawn when the order for Radcliffes came through.Not, as you might imagine, that this was a last minute order. It was actually Andrew getting a bit ahead of himself. However, because HE was up and organised, it meant that I needed to be too. So I've had a pretty full on day in the kitchen, broken up only by a trip to Amble to pick up the Rav from the garage where, somehow it got through it's MOT with only the brakes really needing to be seen to. I went from Amble through to Morpeth to shop for ingredients to replace everything that I had made earlier for Kevin. I spent all afternoon in the kitchen. Charles started painting the back fence - hooray!! (And I didn't even ask!) Once I'd finished that I started work on a submarine for the Octonauts cake. For the first time I had a go at making the structure out of Rice Krispies before covering it with sugarpaste. I THINK it is working!! I've got the main structure built and covered and am looking forward to doing the fun, decorative bit tomorrow. By this time it was almost teatime and I was tired and I just know that there would be anorder from Applebys lurking in my emails. AND THERE WAS!! Fortunately, most of their order was already in the freezer, so it didn't take long to sort them out. Right I am going to relax for a while - but before I do that I must ring my Mum!!
