Snowy Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I noticed a lot of the stalls on the market last week were offering tasters - you could cut the crusts/ends into cubes, spread with lemon curd and offer them as your taster pieces And the last lot of jams and chutneys I bought from a farm shop were £3.50.

craftyhunnypie Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Not heard of nelson's cake, but you could also make truffles from the cake ends, bit of melted chocolate, cherries, nuts & maybe some rum. Squidge together into balls & roll in vermicelli. Put in cake / sweet cases. If the cake was extra good & big - I would pay £4.50 for it. Plus the eggs are free range - how many cakes do you know of with free range eggs in the supermarkets? They would make good birthday cakes & people could always decorate them with icing if they were madeira cake. Come Christmas, you could take orders for Christmas fruit cakes, ice the with roll out icing & use your chicken cookie cutter to cut out chickens from the icing. You could dust them with gold or silver edible powder. Just a thought! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 You could use the leftover cake ends to make mini trifles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Poet I was thinknig of you this weekend when I was at Centerparcs. In Starbucks they were selling lemon drizzle cake at £1.75 a slice & it didn't look half as tasty as home- made cake. They weren't even big slices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
