Didn't bake anything, but did watch the "Victorian Bakers" on iPlayer. It was very interesting.

Cake recipe please (for I can never hope to replicate your skill with a piping bag!).

Planning on treating myself to a bit of baking whilst I listen to Woman's Hour this afternoon, another two XL orange and mincemeat loaf cakes. I made this for Christmas but had forgotten how delicious it is...and indeed how quickly two large cakes get gobbled up!

Eta: re the Hobnobs - not sure that the finished product will be as tasty once frozen and defrosted, but if you make a large batch of biscuit dough you can freeze the unbaked biscuits between grease proof paper sheets and bake from frozen as and when you need them fresh.

Sounds delicious! Regarding the piping bag, the grass tip is pretty easy, just point and squeeze, thankfully it's supposed to look messy. Regarding the recipe I don't really have one for it in writing as it's a cake I make by eye rather than weight.

Fudge-making is a skill in itself, knowing when the set point is right. Get it wrong and either it doesn't set, or you risk losing your teeth

Hi

I watched James Martin's programme the other day and he made pizza with Semolina flour so my question is semolina flour just semolina you use for making puddings? l could only find this when l went shopping tonight and bought it but now l am not sure this is right.

l don't want a sweet pizza :eek:

Thank you.

Kit1 It,ll be fine - think of rice, it's only rice pudding when you add sugar, milk etc

Let us know how it goes - I,m sure it will be lush
