    Just taken them out. Passed the fingertip and drill bit test. :j
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    You keep your fork right out of it unless you want your fingers accidentally broken. :whistle:

    Fantastic! Well done. Just let them cool slightly in the tin for a couple of minutes and then put them on a rack/ grill pan to cool completely, while you busy yourself with the frosting.
    You just gotta be real patient now, you can't rush this bit...

    Has anyone mentioned the 'bottoms together' thingy for when you sandwich 'em together with the frosting????


    Errr...no! I can see what you mean - flat surfaces together, but then it'd be wobbly? :confused:

    Hellooooo!
    I just got here in time :D
    You are doing BRILLIANTLY!!

    They look really good. I guess they are almost/ just done now? Newleaf gave good advice about the finger test. Don't worry about any slightly overdone bits on the edges - you can either leave them anyway ( I do) or cut them off when cool. Sorry I haven't been around - I've been baking too :D
    Ads far as melting chocolate goes, it's too easy to spoil it by overheating in the microwave so I would persevere with the bowl of hot water method - just keep re-boiling the kettle to heat it up. Shouldn't take too long. Keep stirring it too. And while the cake cools , I suggest a cool :beer: while you wait. :D
    You - only you- will have stars that can laugh :rotfl:
