Can someone tell me how to post a picture of the Halloween cake I'm making right now? It's certainly not healthy, but if it comes out how I'm hoping, I'd just like to share the picture. I'm making a cake that looks like the pumpkin on the front of the Family Circle magazine that you always see while you're standing in line at the grocery store :laugh: I'll have the picture saved on my computer... then what do I do to post it here successfully? Thanks! :flowerforyou:

    or upload to MFP
    then right click the picture
    copy the address http...so forth
    paste it here
    add [i m g] at the beginning and [/ i m g] at the end...but with no spaces (cant show you because it will read it as a picture and give me a red x)

    If you quote this, you will see how I got your picture to post here.

    Thanks... I give it a shot as soon as the cake is done. Was supposed to bring it to a friend's for a party but she just called and said her BF is sick with a fever and "flu like symptoms" so it looks like my BF and I will be home alone with a HUGE cake that I can't eat because it's not gluten free :noway: Yikes!

    It's actually 2 cakes- baked them in 2 round pyrex bowls and then stuck them together and shaped them :wink:

    Two cakes in one that looks to be about the most tasty cake I've ever seen. Do you know how many calories are in their total? I would guess about 5,000 minimal maybe even triple. Sheesh that does look like it taste great.

    AreWeThereYet, lol see you need to detatch yourself from these things, not the challenges but from the racing thoughts. Like a Horse with blinders on.

    You guys can have it... it has gluten in it, so I'm out of luck :ohwell: Made it for the party we were supposed to go to, which now isn't happening anymore. So, the lonely pumpkin sits alone in the fridge. Have no idea how many calories are in it since I'm not eating any I didn't bother calculating it!
