bluekarin Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 That's what I thought too, but seems not. A ruse to get you to buy the book me thinks It doesn't take ages to do but I think I will try piping bags next time and see how I go with it then.

bluekarin Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 I made Ollys Penny cake at the weekend and have kept it until yesterday. All the kids ate it - even the hubby who 'doesn't like cake'! It is delicious! My mixed fruit was sultanas, chopped dates and mixed peel along with the cherries. I will be making this again and again, so thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'm just delighted that it's proved so popular! It really is a winner - as said above, even people who 'don't like fruit cake' will scarf it down. Perhaps I should tell Penny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggasperated Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I baked Lorraine Pascales Crouching Tiger Hidden Zebra cake yesterday. Went ok apart from having to bake it for 20 minutes longer than told - 55 instead of 35 mins, so a bit dry. I used too much flour in the chocolate part, melted stork instead or oil and possibly a too small diameter tin. Now looking online, it seems I should have made two cakes and not the one large one I made this last weekend, the recipe was in the Times weekend magazine and was made in the one large tin. I found it really easy to make but took ages to put in the tin; mine was a little wet in the middle despite testing it with a skewer but it was a really nice cake and stayed moist for several days. I found it a nice change from some of the sickly cream filled and iced Mary Berry ones I had been making and it got a thumbs up from the family .
