    Stork everytime unless a special occasion, then value butter. I find stork of good quality, easy to store in fridge and creams lovely.

    I use half stork and half basics/value butter - no difference in taste to me :)

    Does that mean I can use some Stork and some butter in a Victoria Sponge?

    Coz that would be handy and save me from having to go to the shops, again. :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I've got enough Stork, but I've got some butter that needs using up. Can I use some of each? :p

    Can I use other proportions? i.e. whatever butter's left and Stork to make up the weight?
