My view this faces to unusual, is a beautiful jade.The future is certainly extremely extraordinary." Say the pandora beads true, how doesn't the women believe fortune-telling this kind of thing.Deng Ai is still small, the future is to become good is still a common man just, how can know again.However, is what a mothers will like to listen to the person crying up he or she's son.No matter is true or false, the womens all feel that the words that Liu seals listen to very comfortable heart.
Not from smiled to say with smile:"Thank childe Ji speech." Liu Feng certainly sees out this women not to believe his words and say really concerning the fortune-telling, he doesn't believe as well by himself.However don't relate to, this was just a bridge."Madam husband's family Xing Deng BE?"Liu Feng smiles to ask a way."Man in the house is indeed Deng Xing."Women answer way."Can this kid have a word?"Liu Feng continues to ask a way.
pandora jewelry"Have not called, only childhood name, call a child."Deng Shi continues answer way."Can know a word?"Liu Feng continues to ask question a way."Man in the house the time in a life time, once teach, the big bodies all recognized."Deng Shi's answer, let Liu Feng Xin in more satisfied.Is indeed as expected a Hui early, pandora bracelets canada year however is 56 years old, but knew most of words, this aspect can call a child prodigy.
Although Liu Feng is satisfied,Liu Feng is more and more interrogative under Deng Shi Xin.Because Liu Feng was more and more like a put on an act person, and Liu Feng just claimed to be will several cent fortune-telling.Let Deng Shi more and more feel that Liu Feng is a liar.More and more deep vigilance in Deng Shi Yan, Liu Feng all sees in the eye.Liu Feng's certainly hasing way to let Deng Shi doesn't doubt that he or she is a liar.

Hello...question about quantities (no replies)

annabakescakes — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:57:29 +0100

Hiya,

I'm new to this forum so I'll quickly introduce myself. I'm Anna and I'm 33 with 2 yound children.nnim currently on maternity leave but usually I work as a Operating Department Practitioner in a large hospital.
I bakes cakes as a bit of a sideline, usually for friends and family but the word is getti g round and I'm making more and more :)
I usually bake birthday cakes/novelty cakes but I've had a few requests or wedding cakes.

Now I usually make a Victoria sponge but I know for a heavy wedding cake it will have to be a Madiera.
I've been looking up quantities for the next cake which I will be making (10" square Madeira, 8" square Madeira and a 6"square chocolate cake)

For the 10" cake the quantities I've been given are 700g self raising flour, butter and caster sugar. 350g plain flour and 12 eggs
For the 8" cake 450g flour, sugar and butter and 8 eggs
And for the 6" choc 225g choc, 175g butter 115g caster sugar, 6 eggs and 17g self raising flour

All these ingredients will (I presume) be X 2 as each cake is not going to be very deep I assume.

Anyway my question is...do these quantities sound correct as for a cake which isn't really that big, it seems an awful lot of ingredients.

Ive added it up for a pricing but I've totalled everything up as

3,310g butter
2650g self raising flour
1150 plain flour
2530g caster sugar
52 eggs
450g plain choc

This includes butter for buttercream too

Thanks I. Advance and I'm sorry if this message is a bit sketchy I'm just in the process of feeding my little one

hotchocolates — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 15:29:11 +0000

If you do nothing else this weekend you must make this shortbread. Calling this chocolate chip shortbread does not do it justice. It has the most light, even consistency and the rich toffeeness of the organic milk chocolate makes it irresistible.

• 225g softened salted butter
• 115g sifted icing sugar
• 225g plain flour
• 115g cornflour
• 125g hot chocolates organic milk chocolate buttons [www.hotchocolates.biz] chopped
• caster sugar to dredge

Preheat the oven to 150ºC/300ºF/gas mark 3.
Grease a 13 x 9 in swiss roll tin.

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until creamy. Sieve the flour and cornflour into the bowl and beat into a solid mass, add the chopped chocolate and beat again. Turn the stiff mixture out on the tin and flatten evenly with the back of a spatula. Prick all over with a fork and place in the oven. The shortbread should take between 40 – 50 mins, test with a skewer. Only dry crumbs should stick to the skewer, no soft mixture. Dust with caster sugar and cut into squares. Leave in the tin to cool for ten mins before turning out on to a cooling tray.

hotchocolates — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 07:43:36 +0100

This cake is very quick and easy to make which I love. I am not very good at complicated recipes with too many stages, the fewer the better is my philosophy. As the cake cooks it will fill your kitchen with the most beautiful aroma of chocolate, spice and orange, the perfect natural room fragrance!

For the cake
• 100g butter • 100g hot chocolates dark chocolate buttons [www.hotchocolates.biz] • 75g dark muscovado sugar • 100ml golden syrup • ¼ pt milk • Grated zest 1 orange • 175g plain flour • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda • 2 round teasp ground ginger • 1 round teasp ground cinnamon • 1 large egg
For the topping
• 100g butter • 75g hot chocolates dark chocolate buttons [www.hotchocolates.biz] • Juice 1 orange • 50g icing sugar

Preheat the oven to 150ºC/300ºF/gas mark 3. Grease and line a 7in square baking tin with greaseproof paper. Melt the butter, chocolate, sugar, syrup, milk and zest together in a pan over a gentle heat. Sift flour, bicarb and spices into a large mixing bowl. Once melted add the chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients and beat well. Add the egg and beat again. Pour mixture into the tin. Tap the pan on the work surface to allow excess air bubbles to rise to the top. Bake in the oven for exactly 30 mins, test cake with a skewer in the centre, if it does not come out clean leave for another five mins and keeping testing until skewer is clean. Leave to cool in tin for 10 mins then empty out on to a wire tray to cool completely. Place cake on serving dish.
For the topping, melt the butter, chocolate, icing sugar and orange juice in a small pan over a gentle heat stirring all the time. Pour over the cake and eat when cold, if you can wait! Sharon

Hello all,

My name is Krista and I'm a mum to a wonderful little girl aged almost 2.5. She is my little princess and she loves helping me in the kitchen, making cookies or chocolate cakes!!

I have just recently started up my own home-based business as an independant consultant for The Pampered Chef but I need people to book and host parties for me.

To give you a quick outline this is what happens - you host a cookery show, invite your friends / family round, we make a quick receipe using the Pampered Chef kitchen tools, we all sample the delights and then make orders at the end of the night if you so wish. As a host you get many benefits such as free gifts and discounts and it's such a lovely way to spend an evening with your friends.

We can also do fundraising nights e.g for the church so instead of the host getting the benefits the church recieves the money instead.

If this is something that interests you then please drop me a message. I am based in the Greater London area of Middlesex.

Many thanks

Krista

I've checked them today and as I've slid a couple off the paper they.ve broken down the middle. Any tips pleeeeease!!
Thanx

Hello all,
All I want to be able to do is bake a decent white cob on a baking tray. I have tried a few recipes, the most well reviewed one being Paul hollywoods on the BBC website. I used the right ingredients, kneaded for the recommended 5 mins, it rose of for the first rise, put it on a baking tray and it rose again but did seem to go outwards as well. I put slits in it just before baking as advised. It sounded hollow when I took it out but I didnt seem to have a beautiful bread baking smell in the kitchen and it was heavy, cloying and rather solid. Indidnt use any extra flour for kneading. Tis keeps happening, what on earth am I doing wrong

So I’m finally back from my holidays and I know this is a little overdue, but I have finally complied a list of tips and ticks based on your requests awhile ago.

I’ve split it up into 3 parts and part 1 is all about the basics (stuff that is under the fondant) and part 2 and 3 will be all about the decorating.

Hi Everyone I'm new to the forum and just got back into baking after a 10 year absence.

Things have changed a lot and I have also forgotton a lot. I'm a mum of 3 and GrannyPat to 3 so kept busy baking for birthdays and celebrations.

I have baked a few sponge cakes and covered with jam and sugar paste and they have been great but I have done them over a 2 day period, what I want to know is how long can I keep a sponge cake once iced etc, I have been asked for a wedding cake and have made the fruit layer in advance but not sure about the sponge ideally I would like to have the cake iced and ready on the Sunday before the wedding which is on a Friday any suggestions?

Also I am a Coeliac so cannot taste the cakes I have made but get plenty of volenteers who will taste test everything so I am also hoping to pick up some tips as well to help bake more gluten free bread & cakes.
