re: just out of curiosity....

awwww Karen I feel your pain :( I am often in my cakery 9 till midnight. My brain also works overtime whilst I am asleep. I do actually solve quite a lot of cake dilemas I may be having in my sleep, or come up with ideas for cakes.
As yet I haven’t forgotten to dowel a cake but I often think it will happen one day.
I hope your cake was ok, I think it should be x
