This really is the last cake before Christmas! No, I really mean it this time! I had a 'spare' Christmas Cake ready to be iced, so thought I ought to get it done. But as it was spare, I didn't know quite what to do with it. Naturally I would have sent it to you Clara, but with the post being what it is, I just didn't trust it. And then I thought of you, Monkee Maker but then saw the dreadful cruelty that seems to be going on at your house lately and thought again.Eventually after much thought I have decided to take it to school (where I work for those of you who haven't read my profile) and offer it as a raffle prize. My work colleagues haven't been very forthcoming as regards the blanket raffles, so let's see what cake will do for them. The response was pretty good when I casually mentioned my idea earlier on today (oops, yesterday - it's now half past midnight).
So we shall see shan't we.
The American Blanket is coming along very well. Kay now has over 500 squares! Good luck sewing them all up! I can't wait to see it - it will be huge. Our Blanket Number 1 had 150 squares in and seemed big enough to me, but this one will keep lots of people snuggly warm! Oh how I wish it was heading my way! For your chance to win any of the blankets, go to Emma's blog and donate on Oliver's Fund.

Oh! It is delightful!!!
And - don't faint when you read this - I don't mind at all that it is not going to be mine; Oliver and his Flip Flop Blue wheelchair are much, much more deserving.
The folks at your school are a lucky bunch indeed. Best make sure they dig deep into those pockets : )
did you receive my last email?
I need your address - :)
Gosh! Don't those squares for the American blanket look neat and colourful!!
That cake looks great. Back to the knitting. All the Best. Merry
What an amazing cake, wish i could get a ticket in the raffle but I think I live to far away for those so cute penguins to arrive in one piece!
how do you make such delightful cakes, michaela? they look so intricate - but i guess you find them dead easy - i must be something like a non-knitter looking at a cable pattern i guess!! lovely.
