Les Brown's Comments

Hi Les.  Just thought I'd let you know that the Christmas Cake with your wonderful recipe turned out really great.  I had to trim the top off to flatten it a bit and so of course the trimmings had to be tasted.  Deeelicious!  Hubby says it's the best fruit cake I've ever made.

No worries Les. I know your very busy. Hairdressing & caking.... that  will tie you up!!! 

Can you get a powdered lemonade mix of some sort??  If not Les, just use extra lemon juice and colour the batter pink. :o)

A man as good as his word!  Thanks so much Les.  I am indeed wanting this for Christmas cake as well as general 'consumption'.  My husband's favourite cakes are Victoria Sponge and Fruit cake.  I can do Victoria Sponge standing on my head with my eyes shut, but the perfect fruit cake still eludes me.  So I will do as you suggest and make it in the first week of October (I remember my Mum always made it around that time, sometimes earlier).  Thanks again and have a great weekend.  btw I notice I missed your birthday in August, so happy belated's.  A Leo eh - I'm sure the recipient of this wouldn't mind sharing with you -

Hi Les - I need you to re-upload your Autumn Cake contest cake since it already has 31 favorites from the last contest you entered it into.   Wouldn't be fair to stack the deck. ;)  Don't forget to add the tag.  I've removed the tag from the current photo.

I like your new profile pic..... :o)

Les, I have been enjoying the stroll through your slide show and your flowers and the arrangements of them are no less than breath taking. I love how you have incorporated in each arrangement your trademark little ladybug. What fun you must have creating each one of these masterpieces!

Hi, Les

I think this is my third year from cake number one so still learning at every cake yet. Nice to hear from you,

Tracy Conod

Thanks Les I figured it out last night...CWB is SO addicting! LOVE IT!!

Les, thank you for accepting my friend request and your kind comments on my work.  I have only been decorating cakes for about a year and a half.  I previously worked at a cookie store as a cookie decorator, which mostly entailed outlining and filling. I wanted to learn how to make roses so I took a Wilton class and that was it!  I was hooked.  Now I make cakes and hand decorated cookies from my home.  I wish I would have stumbled upon this earlier in my life, but I guess you're never too old to discover your passion.!

it is so nice to meet you. im also so glad i found a group of people that are self taught like me and can share and learn together. this is great.
