    I made the fruit cake above. the flavour is lovely, but it just hasnt really risen? Is it a rather flat cake or have i dont something wrong? the texture inside is good, airy etc.

    Yes I've noticed when I've made it it doesn't rise as well as other cakes. Don't worry, you havn't done anything wrong. Thats a recipe my nan gave me years ago and it never rose much when she made it either.

    Bought 4 tins of sterilised cream. I want to make your icecream, the recipe says: "whisk together the sugar and cream" My question is to what stage? Whipped cream stage of just to combine ingredients?

    And I would love to make your fruit cobbler but can't find the recipe anywhere, please show me where I can find it. found it!

    Thanks for all you recipes and inspiration. I have a lot to learn

    Bumping this thread for two reasons.

    1) I think a lot of people will benefit especially as with food prices going up a bit of planning would make things go further.

    2) Its one of my favourite threads.

    I'm sure this was discussed in another thread (and I can't find it) but I think you are right about it being carnation cream and it was the standard sized tins which are now the smallest size sold. If anyone knows any different please post! :o
