School cake stall - your chance to make me look good!

sooz

We've recently moved, & have just been told that my son's new scout group is having a bazaar on Sunday, & I really should bring some cakes or sweet things for his group to sell. I offered to buy some cakes, but no, it must be home made

I have a very violent fan oven, an electric hob that hates me & can actually burn water, & a tiny kitchen. I am normally ok with muffins, but I burnt them all yesterday, after about 5 minutes in the oven. :eek:

What can I make that needs little or no cooking, can be made quickly with a couple of small 'helpers' in a kitchen you could not swing a kitten in, and is dead easy. Other than rice crispie cakes.

Rocky Road, google the recipe for nigellas rocky road, and use basics chocolate and rich tea biscuitr for it, which will make it much cheaper too. I use Mr T's and a mixture of plain and milk.

I was going to recommend double layer crispy squares until I read that

Plenty more in this thread; I'll merge this later, to keep ideas together

ooh, do share the recipe. That sounds much nicer than crispies & chocolate inexpertly shoved into a fairy cake case (by my helpers, even I can manage that!)

BTW. The oven really hates me. I just had a pizza (I'm alone, they are in bed, he's out, & I couldn't be bothered). It said 12 minutes at 180 for a fan oven. Was burnt at 160 after 6 minutes.

It and I will have to have words.

No oven needed for the above recipe :T

Fab. :T

I might even try the sweetie & marshmallow kebabs. Utterly genius, & by the sound of it totally foolproof.

I may come back on monday & say we all got injured on the kebab sticks, but hope not.

fifteens, tiffin , very easy to make no cooking involved or mini trifles

or peppermint creams but try other flavourings like vanilla

Thank you so much.
I spent last night infront of the tv making sweetie kebabs. They look fantastic, I found some pretzel cellophane bags in the local cake shop, and tied them with christmas ribbon. :T
My children were hugely impressed, & the eldest said if he would happily pay £1 for one. (he's not been on here has he..he'll happily spend all his money on sweets)

Now I just need to attempt to melt the chocolate without burning it, & try the other recipes.

Ladies I am hoping you will be able to help?

School Christmas fair is on Friday and they will be having a cake sale? I have instructed hubby to make some bakewells but i feel like i should do something?

Pref not cupcakes and the last time i made Twinks - they went wrong they were soggy?

Any ideas would like them to look nice too? x
