    Hi all,

    My sister and I fancy doing some baking today but are a bit stumped for ideas. We want to make something sweet, not too bad for the waistline, any suggestions please??

    In our stores we have the following:
    - flour plain and SR
    - sugar: brown, icing and caster
    - stork
    - raisins & walnuts
    - plenty of colourings and flavours
    - cocoa powder.

    I don't want to buy anything as today is to be a NSD.
    we have no eggs thought, think thats where we are stuck!!
    Thank you!!

    I didn't put a link in? Have you got the orange underlined links? They are a real PIA and have only come on to the site in the last day or two.

    Vinegar cake! :T

    I read that on here recently. You can have you cake even if you have no eggs!

    We have tons of eggs as our chooks have started laying after a rain induced mardy spell. Are you in Wakefield..? You would be welcome to some!
