I want to make Millionaires Shortbread but with a wholemeal flour base and walnuts as I think it makes a nice taste.

Just started making a couple of loaves of bread. Will do a victoria sponge later too. I want to make mini ones - What's the best way to achieve them?

That sounds tasty.

Yesterday I made 4 loaves of bread, a dozen rolls and a dozen pitta breads. I'm just about to put some fruit and choc chunk flapjacks in.

I've been wondering that too, and I'm going to try making one in my 10" x 8" tin, then using pastry cutters to cut circles out. Any leftover bits of cake will be used to make a trifle I'm planning on trying it some time this week.

Thats exactly what my thinking was! Going to bake some stuff for the girls at work, and i think mini ones will make less waste than one big one. Will report back!
