    Ok, rum truffle help please!

    1. How much is ¼ cup of cream?
    2. How much is 2 tablespoons of butter?
    3. How much is ½ cup of cake crumbs, and will it matter if it's got chocolate chips in? (I bought a muffin ;))
    4. The recipe says two teaspoons of dark rum, but I like to know it's in there. Can I safely put three in?
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.
