  • Today's video is a little bit different, I thought it might be nice to do a monthly 'practical slot'....
    It's quite difficult filming some of these so please bear with me, I'm sure I'll get better in time. Hope you like it.
    It is a bit long... you can always fast forward! The first half is baking cakes and the second half is a couple of projects on my Cricut machine. #cricut

    Thank you Helen. Thanks to you I am getting braver baking cakes not thinking that everything has to be perfect! And they soon get eaten whatever they look like! Whipped cream is in the freezer. You are a handy tips goddess and you are so good to let us benefit from all your experience. Your family are so lucky to have you

    Love "At Home With Helen" fabulous idea. Can't wait for "Christmas At Home With Helen" 🤣🤣
    The blue dress you are wearing just looks so lovely on you, blue is definitely your colour. Hattie's cake is amazing, you really can put your hand to anything. Hope she has a fabulous time. I just look your laid-back attitude to housework etc. My Mum always use to say to me, "it will still be there tomorrow", to which I would reply, "that's just it, I don't want it there tomorrow". Now after 40 years of marriage this year I am realising she was right. So don't give a toss quite so much. xx

    Oh my mum had her Kenwood mixer and never had another one. She made wedding cakes and birthday cakes (she was a cook) and she only ever used that mixer. I’m 50 and she had it all the time I can remember. It was a cream and blue colour, or discolour ha ha. It never failed her until the motor actually conked out. A proper bit of kit. Lovely video 😊

    @wendyware9738 Год назад

    Like you had my Kenwood when I was first married at 21 used it at multiple times per week so when it died a few years ago wanted another Kenwood chef and to my dismay had to return a few months after purchase but it came back fine didn’t give me much faith on its longevity after 40 years before! I was intrigued to see you put your big cake in a cold oven or did I imagine that, how did it turn out as have always heated my oven beforehand unless using the Aga switched off in summer, too expensive to run and too hot!?? I love your craft videos thanks so much for sharing. Lucky Wendy loved what you did. My daughter and I thought about getting a Cricut machine look fun.😊

    • @Helenmaryjo
      @Helenmaryjo  Год назад

      I didn't preheat the oven, not really necessary is a fan oven.
      The Cricut machines are fun. I'll use the 'Joy' next time as that is smaller and cheaper and covers most options xx

    Helen: You have such patience to do that craft. I am impressed, really. Your cakes look delicious. My grandmother from Scotland, that moved to Canada, would have made that Jam Cake. Baking is not my best chef skill. I can cook anything else, but when it comes to baking, I need your skills. The cakes either fall, do not come out of the pan well, or I eat all of it even if it does not look great. Ha Ha. Your backyard looks beautiful. The best to you, always. Cathy xoxo
