In the meantime, I enjoyed this story. In particular the first attempt at her cake - a brick-like thing - made me chuckle :). Paul's polite yet horrified reaction to the second attempt was also charming. But good on Maisie for pushing back and getting him to try his hand at it!Ceebiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480362932552752240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642588922402729816.post-67363819375954752412011-05-02T09:48:32.647-07:002011-05-02T09:48:32.647-07:00I see from the comments that Maisie’s a welcome fi...I see from the comments that Maisie’s a welcome fixture on your blog, but I am new and all I know is I think it’s great how Paul went about introducing a supreme recipe that sounds <em>so</em> yummy!

After not thinking about it for 40 years, I was talking to my wife yesterday about a piece of boiled cake I was given by a workmate - the only piece I have ever eaten.
