Hi all,

So I want to make a lemon drizzle loaf cake for a friend’s birthday and in order to do that I need to cream some butter and sugar.

Most guides I see suggest using butter which is around 18 degrees Celsius but where I am it is around 10-12 degrees indoors. Is it possible I could put the butter in my microwave on defrost for a few seconds? Not to melt it of course but just to soften it slightly?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

So I’m not sure if this is the correct sub but I wanted to ask anyway.

So my friend’s birthday is coming up and I am trying to think of good colour combinations for the wrapping paper and bows I’ll use. Ideally I want something that looks classy.

I used to be absolutely awful at wrapping presents but I’ve steadily been improving but my sense of what colours work well is pretty patchy. If anyone has any advice I’d be very thankful!

Thanks for reading!
