Neither a Baker Nor a Photographer by grammyn

Neither a Baker Nor a Photographer

And yet today found me taking a photograph of the Welsh cakes I was making. Full disclosure they are fried, not baked but we will be celebrating St. David's Day tomorrow when we play Pass the Pigs so I needed to make some today in preparation! Truth be told,Mary @mcsiegle made some for me and mailed them to me just in case I didn't get mine made. Hers are much better than mine. Taking a picture while my hands were covered with flour and dough affirms I am not a photographer either. Several of my friends do amazing food shots and I am not deluding myself into believing this is in anyway competitive with theirs. Check out @darylo to see what I am talking about. So I thank you for taking the time to look at my pitiful offering for the day and l am grateful for any comments you make!♥
i love welsh cake. why is mary not sending me any? 🤣 that looks good though, my lady. maybe i will play piglet tomorrow with you. aces!

You may not be a food photographer, but this still makes me want a cookie!
March 4th, 2021  
HAHA, your title makes me laugh!
March 4th, 2021  
They look good. How were they? That’s what really matters.
March 4th, 2021  
Whoa that looks so cool! And I like your glasses chain too! ;) I love your cookie/cake cutter! You are too kind to mention me. This photo is great!

They look very delicious to me, wish I could taste them as I have never heard of them. Have fun passing the pig and enjoying the cakes.
March 4th, 2021  
I imagine that these will be delicious. I would love to take a bite of the dough right now....and the finished product. Fun shot!

@summerfield do you have pigs???
Katy this is a fabulous foody shot! Tells a story as does the flour on your camera.
March 4th, 2021  
Oh, man! I’m with Terri @madamelucy — I’d be snitching some of that dough right now. I love your cookie cutter. Fancy-edged Welsh cakes!
March 4th, 2021  
You are too hard on yourself. This is a great food shot and I love your narrative and title. What fun you have with your piggies.
March 4th, 2021  
@summerfield Send me your address via Katy and I’ll use that as an excuse to make another batch! And I second Jackie’s question. Do you have pigs?!
March 4th, 2021  
You don't have to be one to make good stuff! ( photos and cookies ;-)

A fun cooking/baking capture! And just FYI, yesterday my mom told me my sister had ordered this game she'd heard of - Pass the Pigs! I couldn't believe it - I'd never mentioned it to either of them. So hopefully the weather will be nice enough to be outside soon and I can visit and play. I'll be sure to take a photo ♥

I'm sure your cake will taste great. And good for you for even attempting it! More than I would do!!
March 4th, 2021  
Katy, I think this looks great. You have enough of the utensils to show you are making it. I'm quite sure I got flour and maybe dough on my camera this morning. It has the golden tones signifying it has butter in it. Had a blast eating Welsh cakes and sharing stories this morning.
@summerfield We took a vote this morning and decided you needed to "take a meeting", a coffee break or an early lunch break on Thursdays and join us as we meet, even if you don't have pigs.
March 4th, 2021  
This looks delicious already!
March 4th, 2021  
They look very successful. Bet they tasted great.
March 4th, 2021  
Lol! At least you had fun and they don't look bad to me. I would love to taste one
March 4th, 2021  
@summerfield we talked about you playing with us! Maybe next time?
@olivetreeann LoL! that is very kind of you to say!
@lynnz I am so glad you liked it Thanks Lynn
@shutterbug49 They tasted good but not as good as Mary's! First time making them so I am OK with that
@darylo Thank you Daryl the glasses chain was a gift when I visited my friend in Lebanon. The cookie cutter was my mother's or grandmother's and I was glad to have a reason to use it! I almost never make cut out cookies
@ludwigsdiana Thank you Diana we had a great time passing the pigs and eating out Welsh cakes. I had never heard ot them before either and would gladly send you some but feel they wouldn't make the trip and still be edible!
@madamelucy Thank you so much Terri! they turned out better than I expected
@30pics4jackiesdiamond LOL! you are too kind Jackie and I appreciate that generosity!
@mcsiegle I used to be a dough eater until I heard so often how raw eggs are dangerous. Thank you Mary, the cookie cutter was my mother's or grandmother's
@louannwarren That is really so very nice of you Lou Ann. Your kindness means a lot to me!
@dutchothotmailcom That was such a nice thing for you to say Esther! I really appreciate it!
@linnypinny Thank you Lin and how exciting for you! I can't wait to see your photo of it! It is great fun!
@kwiksilver peer group pressure always seems to work on me! Thank you Gillian and they did taste OK Even the grand chap liked them!
@randystreat Thank you so much Kathy. Good to know I am not the only one. It was too much fun and next week will be too! Can't wait.
@jacqbb They were OK and if I make them again I know how to improve them just like our artstygang lessons! Thank you Jacqueline
@serendypyty They did turn out better than I expected and I now know how to make them even better! Thanks Cazzi
@geertje Thanks Geertje. Thye weren't bad at all and we did have lots of fun. I would love to send you some but feel they wouldn't make the trip and still taste good!
