Calling Remoska users!
Today discovered that Aldi had silicone 8" cake 'tins' in their special buys middle aisles I always use these for cooking cakes in the Remoska but more importantly for protecting the rather flimsy Teflon coating inside the base tin when cooking even a roast. I have tried to replace them over the last few years but none…

Any Bakers Online?
I have to admit I have a sweet tooth, as my dentist will confirm. Now when I walk into a bakery quite a lot of the goods seem to be made with what I will describe as artificial cream. A quick search of the internet throws up several formulas: your basic buttercream (revolting!), a German and Swish based recipe,I haven't…
