Rally Chat Easter Chester Meet & Greet / Cakes & Bonnets (1 Viewer)

[Carol]

Well a visit to Hobby Craft then the fancy dress shop in Chester Market and a plan is forming, bought a cake tin as well now what to put in it that's the question.

 

[Allan & Loren]

Been out and bought 2 hats today and lots of easter bits for our bonnet creation ready for Chester. Time to think about the cake now.

 

[Ockerron]

Well I've bought my hat, some tissue paper and little fluffy chicks to decorate my hat. All from Poundland!

I'm determined to get the Funster equivalent of a blue peter badge.

Think my hat may have a design fault though....it's very floppy!

How's everyone else getting on?

I have a cunning plan.....one that involves eating a LARGE number of Cadbury's Creme Eggs! And papier mache! What can possibly go wrong?

Are we talking sensible low fat zero calories cake ?

Or instant clogged arteries no-one in their right minds would eat this and hope to survive the week cake with too much bandy and enough cream sink a ship ?

The latter, most definitely! I've tried to find fat free, zero calorie butter, cream, chocolate and alcohol but to no avail! So Funsters dieters look away!

lol. my Hat is under control have to admit I've had a laugh with it.

 

[Ockerron]

Well, my hat has a certain 'theme' involving Cadburys Creme Eggs! I sent an all staff email last week asking teachers to ask their classes to save any wrappers for me if they had a creme egg. Well, the head saw my email and decided to 'help'! So he bought every pupil in school a Creme egg! That's 1,460 eggs. I have a lot of wrappers.....
(What's even better is that he bought every member of staff a big Easter egg! And all out of his own pocket too!)

 

[Carol]

OMG what a nice gesture

at on the way to be finished but only bringing my bread pudding

 

[toledo]

Sorry meant to say HAT

 

[Ockerron]

I'm having a proper nightmare with my hat! Have all the ideas in my head, but not so easy in practice. Who said papier mâché was child's play? Mine won't dry or go hard!

(Might have to sneak off to the charity shop and buy the one they had in the window.....hehehehehe....)

 

[Mousy]

Well I've managed to burn my finger with the glue gun, hat looking good....til I went to put it on and realised it was stuck to the dining room table!

I'm laughing but I've got hot glue everywhere, in my hair, all over the table but not a lot on the tissue paper or the hat!

AAAAAAGGGGHHHRRRR

 

[Ockerron]

Sounds like fun! To be fair, mine is hilarious...Doesn't fit, but hey! Pass the gin!
