Thanks and it took about one and a bit episodes of Six Feet Under (I measure time in songs and shows :rotfl:)

Brilliant! I measure my time in the kitchen in book chapters on cds from the library - I could never read that many books on paper as I spend time in the kitchen :rotfl:

I am hoping one of you lovely talented cake decorators out there could give me some pointers on how to make a 'fish and chips' cake. I am thinking of a traditional fruit cake with marzipan and icing topped with the 'fish and chips'. I can find lots of super photos of such cakes on the internet but no recipes and so am not sure how to make realistic looking fish and chips. Green marzipan peas and a splash of red icing for the tomato sauce are easy - it's the other two things that have me baffled. I would like it to look as realistic as possible. Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Do you cut all the little flowers yourself or buy them premade? I think I anticipate the answer lol

I used a blossom flower plunger cutter courtesy of Tesco Orchard (they sent me free vouchers to test out sections of a revamped store, so I used them all on baking related items ). And the shimmer pearl things were reduced to 25p in Asda, so I stocked up a little bit :whistle:

Ive got chocolate orange fudge setting in my fridge, made vanilla fudge last week for the first time and it went down very well!

Going to be making a few variations for christmas presents i think

Sorry mare, I'm rubbish at things like posting pictures.

I made birthday cupcakes for my daughters friend who stayed with us. Also made a loaf of bread, or should I say the bread machine did.

Not baked for ages but felt inspired by this site so made chocolate brownies - didnt have and chocolate or butter so found a recipe using vegetable oil and cocoa - they look ok but are too hot to eat just now - children are waiting patiently for a sample!


Update - just tried them - not very sweet but nice and gooey!
