craftyhunnypie Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Had a go at the Coffee & Walnut Battenburg -am quite pleased with the result except I hadn't got the walnuts to go on the top! Anyone else made any thing from Great British Bake Off? I know someone made the delicious looking cream buns! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Just ignore the wave effect on the top! Have a Battenburg tin that makes life easier as it it sectioned of into 4 strips. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggasperated Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Really liking the new cookbook and I've also made the Iced Fingers, really delicious but really sticky dough that was difficult to work with. Also the Melting Moments with a cooked cream filling that I'd never made before - they were really moreish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I made paul's focaccia - but used tomato and garlic flour instead of strong white - delicious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue_F Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 WOW!!! I made the pork pie it was YUMMY!!! Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 You mean the pork pies with quail eggs? Now that's an excuse to get some quail! Hmm. Hubby fancies some of those pies! I still want to make a croque em bouche (spelling) , but for what occassion? Both our birthdays have just gone & think it's just us 2 for Xmas. Could we devour a whole profiterole stack?

Emma.x I think if you say 'practiced' a small, 2 person croquembouche, you could get the technique down, ready to enlarge it for a special occasion!

Seagazer Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Fantastic very professional looking! I might suggest the book as a Christmas present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Nah, if I'm going to make a Croque em Bouche, I'm going the whole hog. Would absolutely love to go on the Great Bake Off! I loved that program. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue_F Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I agree I'd love to make one... maybe new year? Yes it was the ones with the quails eggs but I did it in a loaf tin and with no eggs... Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 That Battenburg does look lovely and so much better than the contestants ones on the telly. Haven't made anything from the prog yet haven't had time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 It's actually really easy to make using my Silverwood Battenburg tin. I also have a silicone mat that I rolled the marzipan out on - non stick & helped me to ease it round the cake. The cake lasts incredibly well too. Had a piece this afternoon, still as good as the day I made it, must be the marzipan preserving it a bit. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
