Today

Well today I popped out for a coffee before the heat set in as I have a little touch of sun stroke being bold and not wearing a hat well it's asking for trouble.😂 So decided today I would make a chocolate cake and this is what I ended up doing 😂😂😂

[sassy59]

One for you, one for me and the other two? Well that’s up to you. They look good Dave. Xxx😂😂😎

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

Love making cakes pies and virtually any other meals 😂 I've got to take one to the minimarket the owners two little ones love my chocolate cake with buttercream and cherry jam inside.

[sassy59 in reply to Hidden]

Good for you, they look amazing. The children will be very happy. Xxx

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

I used to make them for my stepfather and neighbors as I very rarely eat sweet things. But maybe will have one for myself 👍🏼😀

[sassy59 in reply to Hidden]

👍🥰💜❤️

[Thepainterswife in reply to Hidden]

Omg Chocolate, buttercream and cherries that’s my perfect desert 😋

[Hidden in reply to Thepainterswife]

I have a list of people here that ask me for this cake so when I'm up to it I make them and let the peasants fight over them 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼

[madonbrew in reply to sassy59]

[Damon1864 Volunteer]

[Hidden in reply to Damon1864]

I'm on a roll might make a fruit pie next or a minced beef and vegetable pie

[Aingeful in reply to Hidden]

Mince beef and onion pie is my top favourite!

[Hidden in reply to Aingeful]

If I make a minced beef and onion I use leak I'm funny that way 😂😂😋

[SORRELHIPPO]

I hate you as they say. I am doing up the shopping list fro my carer, trying to avoid too much chocolate, and you put chocolate cake in front of me, what have I ever done to you🤣🤣🤣

[Hidden in reply to SORRELHIPPO]

😂😂😂😂 I'm showing that I care and you must eat more chocolate cake 😀😀😀👍🏼

[Wonderboy6]

Oh my god, gimee 1,I want one of these what ever they are. Mazin work of art 🎨 ✨️ 👌

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Chocolate fudge cake with buttercream and cherry jam filling . Been making cakes and pies since I was ten my gran taught me. Got to make my friend at the local taverna a carrot cake with frosting but will do that at the weekend. 😂😂😂 Gives me something to do when I'm in home 😂😂😂

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

Well done, I love cooking but I don't cake make,

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

I cook a wicked curry Tai and Chinese Indian you name it I cook it . Usually my Dutch friend who takes me to hospital appointments gets me making him all sorts of things pies especially cherry pie and Apple and blackberry pies .

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

Wow, I sure wish 🤞 I had actually met you would have finished up like a stuffed pig 🐖

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Most definitely buddy , I make a wicked fish pie, among many other things. My Dutch friend likes my cooking. Well I enjoy passing time away and cooking is something I always loved

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

My brilliant mum tought me to cook, in those times there was 6 of us, she taught basic but filling stuff, 👌 4 kids who grew up on her cooking 🍳 miracles.neverdid us any harm.give it to kid's today, you would get screams off total disgust.

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

I know what you are saying my gran taught me to cook plus I got the equivalent to an o level in cooking at college wanted to go catering college but my parents couldn't afford it

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

Win some, lose some, mate.

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Totally agree but it hasn't stopped me cooking 😅😅

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

Drugs are slowly but surely taking me to another planet, cannot see the words on my phone, good night daveyboy, have a restful one when you turn off 😘

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Will do take it easy buddy 👍🏼👍🏼

[Aingeful in reply to Hidden]

Blackberry pie....yum yum!

[Hidden in reply to Aingeful]

Bramley apple and blackberry mmmmm

[helenlw7]

They look amazing. Chocolate is absolute favourite cake.

[Hidden in reply to helenlw7]

Here you go I've made them bigger 😂😂

[Maggie_Mae]

I’m sure chocolate jumps into my wardrobe and sews my clothes tighter!!!Ah well what’s another inch

Gimme a slice with double cream and raspberry on top!! Yummy! 👍

[Hidden in reply to Maggie_Mae]

All out of raspberries sorry but got plenty of cream .

From four I made two large 😂😂

[Greenthorn in reply to Hidden]

And I thought they were sofas!

[Hidden in reply to Greenthorn]

Might as well be 😂😂😂

[Maggie_Mae]

Awww that’s cruelty now!! Doubling them up !!❤️ Them

[Hidden in reply to Maggie_Mae]

Yes but gone a stage further they have molten chocolate inside top and bottom

[Mavary in reply to Hidden]

Naughty but nice. At least it would be if I liked chocolate cake. Any other cake I love but just not chocolate. When I was a little girl I went to somebody’s Birthday party. When it came to to the Birthday cake I went home in disgust and told my Mum “ They had chocolate cake. “ . I know I’m odd because everybody else loves chocolate cake.

[Maggie_Mae]

Oh man … I’m in chocolate heaven!!! 🫣🫣

[Hidden in reply to Maggie_Mae]

Well I thought of someone I know and decided today would be a day I made one but got carried away totally 😂😂😂

[Maggie_Mae in reply to Hidden]

Obviously another chocoholic 😀

[Hidden in reply to Maggie_Mae]

Oh definitely 😂😂😂😂😂

[B0xermad]

Wow that's some chocolate cake you have there davey,take care in the sun, sunstroke is awful and not as hot here but near enough

[Hidden in reply to B0xermad]

I'm ok today and already out my friend as taken me for a full English breakfast 😂😂😂 first one in two years 😂😂😂

[Wonderboy6]

Morning daveyboy, got through another night,wow. We have a local bread and cake shop near us, wed and sat they bring us a large selection of pies and cakes, for free..public relations on their part, but still very nice.

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Hey if it free don't knock it 😂😂😂

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

Haha, its free and am busy stuffing 😋 😜 my face.

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Fill your boooooots buddy 👍🏼😂😂😂

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Wonderboy6]

Feeling so weird, doc upped my intake of serotonin, seems to think I need to calm down a bit more. Could be right, it also helps with sleeping and getting rid of negative thoughts 😴 🤔

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Yes see we going same place different methods because I up my dosage of JD 😂😂

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

Do you eat fresh fish, daveyboy, l just got in some halal filleted cod steaks.love all freshly caught fish.

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Love anything that comes out of the sea I have two beautiful sawfish steaks in freezer fresh squid and some sea bream mmmmm

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Fish to buy in shops very expensive here but the fishermen have pickup trucks and drive up the streets with the catch of the morning , can't get fresher than still wriggling and cheaper aswell he will dress the fish if you ask him aswell 👍🏼👍🏼

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

Some people object to the halal way of preparing food,I sure do not. I'm 78 miles from the nearest coast, so have had to source my fish 🐟 have done so with great success 🙌 👍 👌

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Sometimes you have to find stuff to eat the best way possible. I've had to go to the other side of the island just to find English sausages 😂😂😂 since coming back I've been busy cake making again I've made a carrot cake 😂😂

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

O.k.,so you can make beautiful cakes, we get it.trouble for us, can only look and drool. Haha.

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Ok I'm sorry 😞 but better to have drooled than not drooled at all 😂😂😂😂😂

[Mavary]

That is going to last you a lo———ng time.

[Hidden in reply to Mavary]

😂😂😂😂😂

[Cloudancer]

Looks delicious

[Hidden in reply to Cloudancer]

Well from what I got told by my friends two daughters who demolished their cake this morning apparently it tasted good I personally don't know I haven't had any 😂😂😂 as yet 😂😂

[Qr83k_-Jd]

Mmmm that looks delicious. Yum yum.

[Hidden in reply to Qr83k_-Jd]

You want to see the cake I've just made 😂😂😂 a lovely carrot cake

[Qr83k_-Jd in reply to Hidden]

Well I love carrot cake. Who will eat all that there is rather a lot. It is a lovely cake. I don't bake myself because I am hopeless I really am. I remember when I was in school doing home economics (my pet hate) and everything I made either was burnt or didn't rise. I got a few stern words about that, I can tell you. Infact I was living on ready meals until i joined healthline. It has loads of interesting topics and there was one on healthy food versus ready meals as well as other things that weren't good for you. So now i very rarely buy ready meals and changed my diet ( they say it is never too late to change). So now I eat healthy food like fruit, nuts and seeds. I discovered that I like the food. I suffer with Anorexia so it is really difficult for me you see I never cook for myself and live on mostly salads and healthier cold meat. I will I promise you stop smoking because as I said before I am determined to quit. Oh I am so sorry I have rambled on and on. which isn't really like me so anyway please accept my apologies.

[Hidden in reply to Qr83k_-Jd]

Nothing to apologize for, carrot cake is healthy because you are using natural sugars from the carrots but as I don't eat sweet things the cakes usually go to friends , I make them usually when I get stressed or have things on my mind it's therapeutic

[Qr83k_-Jd in reply to Hidden]

It is therapeutic and it is great for your brain. It improves memory, cognition etc. I never have though of baking anything I don't even have any baking equipment or any tins or dishes. What am I like. I used to cook for my husband but as I divorced now it seems too much effort to look for someone else at my age. I could learn to cook something as I've got a few cookbooks. I buy them all with good intentions but hey there we are.

[Hidden in reply to Qr83k_-Jd]

Go dig out your cookbooks and pick something random you never know you might actually enjoy it 👍🏼😉

[Qr83k_-Jd in reply to Hidden]

Yeh I think I will it will be amazing to see what it turns out like. I hope it turns out ok. Ha ha ha

[Hidden in reply to Qr83k_-Jd]

Have faith in yourself 🙏 I guarantee it will work out 👍🏼👍🏼

[HollyBoyd]

Wow, you have been a busy man, they look scrumptious. Enjoy 😊

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

I tend to do this when I have things on my mind or I'm frustrated it helps 😂😂

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

Yes, it's good therapy Davey, also great to tuck into xxx 😊

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

I wouldn't know about tucking into it I tend to let others do that I'm not a lover of sweet things I'm a carnivor 😂😂😂

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

No worries about your weight then !!

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

Not really something I worry about at this stage 🤣 plus I have a very large hernia behind my navel which as made my stomach area very hard so wouldn't know if I have much fat 😂😂 can't have surgery because of anaesthesia issues and I'm waiting for my new belt to hold it in. 😂😂😂😂

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

Certainly not a pleasant thing to have Davey but good to know it's being contained, so to speak x

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

In honesty it's the least of my worries , lungs shot it kidneys on the way out hernia brain almost shot it 👍🏼😂😂😂 if I were a car I would fail the mot and be scrapped 😂😂 a horse definitely glue factory material 😂😂😂

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

Oh Davey, thank goodness for your sense of humour 😅

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

You have to have one or you just give up and I intend to keep my humour even when everything gives up . I told my oncologist that when I wake up dead I'll tell myself to make sure I'm smiling and cracking joke's 😂😂

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

I only hope that they have good big cookers in heaven so I can rattle out some fruit pies and plenty of cake's 😂😂

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

You will have plenty of good friends up there to enjoy your choc cake 🎂 🥮 🍥 🥞 🧁 xxx

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

Chocolate cake carrot cake chocolate brownies and of course a Victoria sponge cake traditional

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

And possibly a cherry cake oh the list is endless 🤣🤣🤣 xxxxxxx

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

It certainly is 👍

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

Perhaps it would be a good idea to open up a cake shop be a good income and I get the pleasure of cooking 😂😂

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

Sounds a good idea, on your good days 🤔

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

That's where the problem sits I probably only have a couple of those in a week 😂😂 I tend to put on a happy mask the rest of the time 🤣

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

You are not alone Davey. Have a good night xxx 😋

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

I know it just feels like it 2000 miles away from familiarity 😂 you enjoy your evening 👍🏼xxx

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, you too 😊

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

Ah me and JD are going to be fine 😃😃

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

🙃

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

😂😂

[horseygirl_0103]

Oh wow -normally i dont like chocolate but that looks nice

[Hidden in reply to horseygirl_0103]

Well there's two very fussy children whose parents own the local minimarket who said it's beautiful and ate the lot in one afternoon 😂😂😂

[horseygirl_0103 in reply to Hidden]

[Hidden in reply to horseygirl_0103]

Just glad they enjoyed it 😊
