    WI say caster sugar.

    I prefer icing, though. And I add fresh fruit to the jam, too. And cream.

    I'll never win a cake show. Mainly because they get scarfed down within about twenty minutes of the last dust.

    Hi, I have never posted on here before but I was wondering if any one has a recipe which I used to love. My mom and me split on bad terms so I never had chance to get the recipe all I know is that it is in the Marks and Spencer's essential collection Cookie book.
    It is fairly near the front and called either double choc chip cookies or milk and dark choc chip cookies.
    If anyone could help I would be entirely grateful as I want to make them as a thankyou for my bf's parents for having me at their house before I go Uni. :):)

    Afraid I don't have the book, but I did find a copy on Amazon for under £2. Even if it's a different cover it's probably just a reprint with the same recipes inside. x

  • Well done Floss... !!!:beer:
  • Need to make something tomorrow for visiting a friend - I've been given the proviso of chocolate how're I'd prefer to not make a cake. What nice pudding could I make that includes chocolate and is more importantly, fool proof?!
    so far....Radox Waterproof book...10 Business cards (ideal for new pad!)...Fabric samples...Shower timer...Flush saver...Seeds ahoy...
