How to Make a Fondant Ben 10 I know he doesn’t resemble Ben 10 in facial features (Ben 10 has a pointy chin and a pointy nose, not a flat, fat nose and hardly any chin!), but he was a last minute decision, so I had to make do with what I had. How could […]
Sweet-covered All-in-One Rainbow Cake
This cake is not for the feint-hearted! It is psychedelic on the inside and choc-full of sweets on the outside. There are two ways to make a Rainbow Cake. The first is to layer the colours in the same pan. This gives you a mind-blowing array of colours. Unfortunately you can never tell exactly how this […]

Amarula Icing Recipe
Just a quick one today. I am back at work and don’t have a lot of time. But if I don’t post something I might descend into an even deeper despondency. The life of a just-returned-to-work-after-maternity-leave mother… …anyone want to swap for a week or two? Anyway… This recipe hails from Anmarie’s wedding reception. […]

Make your own GLUE
