*drools* i feel like some bikkies now. the first time i have even felt like eating something in the last 6 or so weeks.
the only type of baking i have been thinking about is my christmas baking as i am doing christmas at my house this year with my family and if dfs family want to see us then they know where we live.

anyway back on topic i hope the gremlins have a great birthday and that it all goes well!!]]> Sun, 07 Oct 2007 17:24:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11298&PID=225601&title=ive-been-so-domestic#225601 <![CDATA[I’ve been so domestic! : Wow!

Wow! That is a lot of food! Have a great party

We've started baking on the weekend too, instead of buying biccies and snacks. Today we made chocolate cake, brownies and anzac biscuits. ]]> Sun, 07 Oct 2007 17:04:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11298&PID=225595&title=ive-been-so-domestic#225595 <![CDATA[I’ve been so domestic! : lol whoa tha&#039;ts huge amounts...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11298&PID=225529&title=ive-been-so-domestic#225529 Author: mum2paris

lol whoa tha'ts huge amounts of food!!

I'm the same Nic, I have become a bit more mumsy and do baking with the girls on the weekends. Last week it was bickies, today was a 5 minute orange microwave cake. Will give me something yummy to take for the ladies on overnights tonight, hopefully a bit of sugar rush will keep us going.]]> Sun, 07 Oct 2007 14:12:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11298&PID=225529&title=ive-been-so-domestic#225529 <![CDATA[I’ve been so domestic! : Yay baking is so much fun you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11298&PID=225345&title=ive-been-so-domestic#225345 Author: nictoddie

I just made the plain butter cake recipe that's in the back of the AWW kids birthday cake book, but in the past I've used the Betty Crocker Vanilla Cake packet mix too. It works best if you freeze the cake first, that way the cake doesn't all crumb into the icing when you ice it.

I'm not much of a baker either lol, I only learnt how out of neccessity when Maya couldn't eat packaged stuff coz of her allergies.]]> Sat, 06 Oct 2007 20:54:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11298&PID=225214&title=ive-been-so-domestic#225214 <![CDATA[I’ve been so domestic! : Good on you!

Good on you! I'm one of those mums that work best under pressure, I start the baking the day before the party and end up staying up until the early hours finishing everything then geting up the next morning to remember I forgot to wrap the last present! ]]> Sat, 06 Oct 2007 20:54:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11298&PID=225213&title=ive-been-so-domestic#225213 <![CDATA[I’ve been so domestic! : What kind of cakes have you made...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11298&PID=225206&title=ive-been-so-domestic#225206 Author: Brenna

I am so not a good housewife. I am the kind of housewife that has a cleaner and makes the nanny fold the washing, and I don't think about what's for dinner till about 4pm.

But birthday's in our family are traditionally DIY which means my slack, non domesticated self needs to get a bit that way inclined.

So today, in preparation for the gremlins birthday fiesta next week (which BTW is getting ridiculously huger by the minute!) I have baked. Oh boy, have I baked!

2 dozen mini fairy cupcakes
4 dozen pineapple and carrot muffins (from a YUMMY recipe in the NZ Allergy cookbook, the kids LOVE them and they are full of veges!)
4 dozen chocolate cupcakes
2 birthday cakes all cut into shape ready to be iced
2 chocolate/white choc chip brownies

And it is now all packed in the freezer. I am so proud! Willie had better not a) die of shock or b) touch any of it! when he crawls home from his drinking binge tomorrow!]]> Sat, 06 Oct 2007 20:40:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11298&PID=225196&title=ive-been-so-domestic#225196
