Hi everybody, Continuing with my adventures into all things chocolate, I had a go at making filled chocolates. I used white, milk and dark chocolate then decided to try using candy melts as well so chose red for the roses and hearts.. I melts the chocolate and using a small brush coated the...

Hi, I have started to have a go at making hot chocolate bombs. first I melted some dark, white and milk chocolate in the microwave and then coated the inside of the moulds, as I have only one mould i had to do each type of chocolate at a time. i let the chocolate harden in the fridge then when...

They look delicious 😋

Hi Angie, I am incapacitated at the moment till I have the all clear to start doing things again, so to stop being bored and to partially get my baking fix, I am looking for recipes, good thing I love looking at different recipes and discovering new things to try. Thinking forward to Christmas...

Hi Joan, sorry to hear that your legs are poorly 😔 my mother in law had problems with hers and was advised to keep them raised when either sitting or lying down, this helps to drain the fluid off. not sure if your problem is similar but thought I’d mention it. hope you get better soon. Take care...

Hi Angie, thanks for all your tips. I too have spare 6” boards as there are only two of us we find that size is better. I did use a Dresden tool for the tree to add a bark affect but that may not have been easy to see. I make two cakes and sandwich together. I brought a small spirit level the...

Thanks Angie I really appreciate all your comments. i was going to add a black ribbon round the edge but to be honest I forgot 😔 I shall remember in future to use the cake smoother that wat, I use it for the top and the sides. Mind you this cake is the first one that is relatively straight so in...

Decided to make my Halloween cake yesterday, I made a 6” round chocolate cake and filled and crumb coated with orange flavoured and coloured butter icing. I then covered with purple fondant. things went a little haywire with the decorations, I was fairly happy with my bats, though the painting...

Poor you, you have been through it. You would have thought A&E would have contacted your doctor for the paperwork. Then to top it all, you were lock out. The taxi driver was kind though to take you to Kelly’s. Hope you are ok now and managed to get something to eat.

No!!! That is for Nigel and myself, doing a 6 inch cake. just been asked if they could have more of the fondant ones, so just made the dough, popped in fridge to make tomorrow……….ghosts, bats and pumpkins here we come 😂

Thank you Angie, I tried an edible marker but couldn’t find one with a long enough tip not to keep rubbing on the sides, so I used dust mixed with vodka….shhh don’t tell the husband 😉. The stamps were from Amazon and were 1066 collection, they are really good as king as you keep remembering to...

I received my last Halloween stamps so thought I would see how they worked. The patterns came out really well….wish my painting was as good 😂 my next bake will be my cake haven’t quite decided on my decoration but I have some ideas.

Thanks Angie. Yes I put painted spiders on the mummies. I used a design wheeler tool, the serrated wheel is great to make the fondant look ripped.

Just finished the cookies for work decided to add some bats and mummies. have tast tested and they are scrummy really pleased. the mummies are decorated with white fondant “dirtied” up and the bats have chocolate fondant on them.

My hubby Nigel taste tested and said they were scrummy, melted in the mouth, I had to stop him eating them as they are for the gang at work. I am waiting for some more stamps to come so will do another batch next week along with a Halloween cake for us.

I made my dough as per your recipe and they turned out great. I used the Karen Davies Halloween mould for some. pressing the dough in carefully and into all the small areas. I only used the cauldron, pumpkin and ghost mould. I also made some round cookies using a cutter and embossing with a...

Fantastic, I will have a go this weekend and we can compare pictures 😂

You must let us know how the dough turns out. What cookies are you making??

Thank you, I will definitely give them a go. I’ll share the photos when I’ve done them. Hope to do them later this week.

Hi Angie, thanks for this. Yes I looked at Karen Davies recipe as it’s her moulds I plan to use. some comments were that the cookies were a little hard and I wanted a softer cookie but I’ll see what they are like and if they are too hard will try a different recipe for the Christmas ones. thanks
