Took a punt at vanilla sponge cake, just the sponge not the 2 pieces and filling stuff.

Aside from being a bit lopsided it was nice.

Also, I know you see a salt shaker but I thought id take a punt at putting the icing sugar in that and it worked out quite well, also forgive the video I am not used to taking videos on phone lol.

Was thinking that, didn't want to get ahead of myself though lol

When my dad does the drizzle cake he pretty much drowns the damn thing

Have you got any tips for cream cheese frosting?  Despite squeezing my cheese out in a muslin to try and get as much liquid out as possible, it’s always really really soft. Almost cheesecake consistency and doesn’t firm up very much...

Yes but it isn’t healthy, I add icing sugar and vanilla essence to the cheese, mix in mixer until desired consistency is achieved, it will take a fair bit of icing sugar,just add some mix if too sloppy add some more  I don’t weigh it just bung it in,like I say not the healthiest but let’s face it it’s cake!!

Decided to have a punt at doing some pancakes following this recipe, either I didn't do them right or they just straight up taste weird.

Fluffy American pancakes

This was how they turned out, seemed a bit dark on inside.
