hey, whilst you can get measuring cups from places like ikea and other supermarkets the american cup is a different size to our cups. You could get a lovely but expensive measure from lakeland or how about this Would be good laminated and stuck on the fridge, good addition to a baking hamper too eh?

Sian thats a great idea. I am doing a cooking hamoer for my brother so i am going to laminate one of those and maybe stick a magnet on the back:D

Thanks Sian this is brilliant! Do you know for the longest time I was just using a cup out of my cupboard and couldn't work out what I was doing wrong. It was only when someone told me it was actually a measurement :P

Hi Shez, if you use only one cone the marshmallows etc. sink or get mixed in with the choc powder and it spoils the effect. hth.
