    Any fruit should work just fine. I made one with some preserved raspberries I bought in Lidl recently and it was yum

    They have sets of cup measures in Poundland. Some just the cups in bright groovy colours but they also had a set which stores inside a small measuring jug with a lid.

    I have several sets I use them for measuring portions of veg and for using as scoops for flour, oats, sugar, etc.

    Hi all,

    I have a tub of white chocolate and cream cheese frosting which I've just defrosted to ice a cake. Trouble is, I can't decide what type of cake to make...

    Any suggestions?! The other half of the frosting I made was on individual carrot cakes with walnuts.

    I have some bananas so I could make some kind of banana cake but I'm not sure if that would go?

    My favourite store bought muffin in my pre-OS days was banana with cream cheese frosting (was nearly a cupcake) so I would definitely like a cake version. Would be perfect for a red velvet cake too. :drool:

    Do yuo have any tinned pineapple? Hummingbird cake comes to mind, deliciously moist !!!!! I've only made it once but it was yummy, quite a different taste :)

    Do let us know how you get on. I would probably keep the white choc for truffles for valentines day or an occasion? Or just because?! I have a fab truffles recipe ive made a few times, i can send it if you want it. It requires double cream, butter, and choc - and that's it i think?! (from memory)

    I'll merge this with baking quick qs later

    Zip :)

    Thanks ladies.

    These bananas are looking a bit sorry so I think banana cake is a good call. Anyone got a good recipe?
