Second post, and we're already onto cake. I'm making Union Jack cakes for our street party tomorrow. I'm not a great cake baker, but I'm happy to eat whatever mush I produce as I have such a sweet tooth.
When I was seriously trying to lose weight, I had to concentrate hard not to eat too much sweet stuff. However, top tip - meringues. No fat - all sugar! I'm not advocating eating a ton of them...but I used to allow myself a meringue at the end of the day as a treat. It was absolute heaven with a cup of mint tea.
But I think on such a special occasion as a Royal Wedding (which I'm rapidly losing my British cynisism about and have bought bunting/flags to decorate the house and even {whispers} a red, white and blue hair clip for tomorrow's do) you should be allowed a cake or two. Even if they do look like colourful mush.
Enjoy the preparations.... :-)
