Would you eat one?

Last night I greeted my weary and hard worked husband home by singing from the kitchen, "I'm sticking with you" from the Juno soundtrack, wearing a polka dot apron and handed him a cold beer. His spirits were momentarily lifted as he walked into the kitchen and saw the baking tray steaming on top of the oven. Imagine his dismay when on closer inspection he found this.

It was the first time I had ever used this recipe and to be honest I made it up as I went along really.

The others turned out splendid! although next time we will use more broken bits! I was too afraid to fill the cake cases too far incase they spilled and flooded my oven with molten wax!

Finally I have made crayons! Thankyou to littlecottonrabbits for the shove towards the oven. The kids thought they were a cool experiment! Perfect rainy afternoon action.

And it seemed a shame not to use the warm oven for some rainy day comfort food....baked sweet potatoes. "Yum in tummy" as says the 2yr old! Couldn't agree more.

Please read my blog and see the grey, grey raining days! You are lucky to have lovely sunny days. We've all got the rainy day blues over here! I am going to try the lovely crayon ideas. I have a box overflowing. What a great idea! My blog is typepad - let's go fly a kite.

Wishing you a rainy day?!?!?!?

Best wishes Emma

What a good idea to bake them in paper muffin cups. When I made mine they were very difficult to get out of the tin.

the top photo is too funny - I can just imagine your husband's face! The crayons came out great though - good idea to use the paper cases - gives them a lovely crinkly edge!
