Ditch the work and get some wine and song . Good to see you're still around, hope you're still turning.

David

Jeez! There are a few people coming aren't there. I hope more than just my cake will turn up. We just about had a cake each last time. We don't quite need that many.

26 at last count. I think we need a bigger cake TL

Hi TL,

I can save you one share I don't eat eggs or dairy, or any kind of meat for that matter. So I am assuming your cakes include at least eggs if not milk and butter, so you only need to worry about 25

Cheers
Jason

Well having desert with you wouldn't be fun. Chocolate ripple cake only contains Chocolate ripple biscuits (which have no "food" in them ) and whipped cream.
