I don't have to do any baking as I got carried away making the cup cakes for the christening cupcake tower & we have loads of plain sponge cakes & only 2 of us to eat them, so tonight we're pouring over some golden syrup (ala syrup sponge) with custard & tomorrow we're crumbling some in a bowl, setting in jelly, top with custard & dream topping (yum) & calling them trifle. By then anymore leftovers should just be fit to use as doorstops!

[ilove2patch]

Both sound yummy Gina.:-)

[cat-knitter]

Mmmm .......... Syrup sponge  :-x

stands by with a huuuuuuge spoon B-)

[chickengrandma-2008]

You know sponge freezes very well don't you gina?  When my children were small I used to cook a large tray of sponge, cut it into squares and freeze it.  It was very easy when pushed for time to grab 4 squares, pop on some jam/syrup/fruit and tinned custard, zap it for a minute and voila, hot puddings all round in five minutes.:-D

[ginap.123]

Funny you should say that CG, the first thing I said was I'll have to freeze some (never frozen sponge before) & then realised that the freezer was jampacked. I'll remember that for next time though.

Has everyone gone to bed?

Not meeeeee  😄

[cat-knitter]

CG, how are all your family of "ugg" boots coming along, have you got them finished yet.

[chickengrandma-2008]

I'm on the fourth pair now (just!)  I made one of the largest size for my daughter, it was a disaster.  Took two full balls of wool, took ages to knit and sew up, and it was horrendous.:_|

I thought at the time it would have been ideal for hippy to wear over her moon boot!:^O

I'm going to use the wool I've got over to make mittens and perhaps a beany hat or two.  If I ever get round to it.:|

[cat-knitter]

Well I hope she still wears them after all the time you put into them :-x

[chickengrandma-2008]

I didn't make the second one, I dumped the first one.:^O

I don't suppose any of them will wear them actually, they all run around in their socks.:^O
