How did the choc fudge cake go?
😛 And a dalek’s eyestalk to hold the carafe! 😛
That’s a rollicking good old fashioned icing set, and oh, a picture is just what’s required to titillate the tastebuds for sure!

Obtained a packet of donut peaches or Ondines, being a popular store brand over here. Not quite as tasty a regular peaches, a good grower for a harsher climate, so an Angel/donut peach tree is on the list for autumn.
If trying your hand in the making of sourdough bread, apparently a SCOBY culture is required. There’s a fair bit of preparation in this Hibiscus kombucha cake with SCOBY already in the kombucha. Just ensure the flowers aren’t from either Hibiscus rosa-sinensis or Rose of Sharon. 😛
It’s awful when things leak. Up here over winter, knock up much of the chicken and fish preparations in covered casserole dishes to go in the stove. No matter what, there is leakage during the cooking which ensures a hard carbonised crust on the dish for a big clean up later. Have never found one which doesn’t. Foil and the like might reduce it some, more waste going in the skip though.
Also looking for a roasting dish for our handy little oven, the stores here mostly focus on plugin ones, some of which look quite nice. They all possess the plastic electrical contacts and whatnot that would unfortunately make a very nasty mess in the oven if we are not careful.
Haven’t scoured the Nordic range yet, will soon. 🙂
