Jolly Green Thing

Success!! Look out your window RIGHT NOW! You might just see celebratory fireworks in the sky sprouting from my room!!!

Well not exactly...but its the most decent looking chiffon cake I've turned out in 4 attempts. Not sure why but chiffon cakes are the hardest for me to make - so I absolutely hate them. I think they might have come up in my nightmares once or twice...deflating dramatically when taken out of the oven (if for some reason I 'm having a nightmare and I'm making cakes in it?!)

But my sister loves these little slices of air (its so light and airy, it feels like eating a mouthful of COTTON WOOL.) so I think it wouldn't be a waste to try and get it right.

Getting presents for birthdays are never easy for me - I just don't know what to buy! It's going to be my sister's birthday in a few days time and I'm still racking my brains.

Boy wouldn't it be GREAT if I could read minds??

Then again...maybe not.
