Lesley Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 I have to say that the Peanut Butter one was one I just found.....I've never made it but yes, it does say grill it! Here is a photo ofWacky Cake with the cream cheese icing - it does look like Guinness Cake... I looked at the recipe for Guinness Cake and I think if you swapped 1 cup of water for 1 cup of Guinness then it would be close enough to Guinness Cake. I hope Rosie enjoys her cake on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thanks Lesley, I have been asked to make it as cupcakes, so guess what I'll be icing tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Not a brilliant photo as I didn't have time to do them properly... not that the girls minded at all They were delicious with cream cheese icing and flaked chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 No eggs just realised. Also it said in the paper eating 2 tblespns of vinegar a day helped get rid of tummy fat. Dont think this will count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Hmmmmmmmm - No, I don't think it will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Going to make these for our caravan rally at weekend. We are hosting a fundraiser cafe. If I make them tonight & freeze them until Thursday night / Friday morning - will they be ok. Also, I'm presuming they will be ok in the freezer in their paper cases?

The Dogmother Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I froze a whole load and they were fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 The cases may come away slightly when they defrost but the cake will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Thanks - I made 18 of these last night. Aren't they easy & fail proof? I was very pleased! They are very impressive. I'm going to make some more over the weekend. What could I put in them..do you think chopped up mars bar would work? with a nice chocolate buttercream on top & malteasers?

The Dogmother Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 They are very sweet, so I found that some cream cheese icing was all that was needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Ok thanks cream cheese icing it is - with Malteasers on the top or mini eggs. Do you have a recipe for the cream cheese icing - quantities of ingredients mainly. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I just mix up some Philadelphia with icing sugar and a dab of vanilla extract, no strict quantities, just experience. Any extra keeps well in the fridge or freezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinesupernova Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 cream cheese icing is easy peasy. I normally start with cream cheese (Philly or similar) and beat it up. Add and beat in sieved icing sugar and vanilla or other flavouring until you get the consistency you want. Some recipes call for butter and cream cheese - but tbh - cream cheese on it's own with the icing sugar is just as nice if not better.

Lesley Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 I prefer the cream cheese topping as well - buttercream would be too sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I've just made a gluten free version of this by using rice flour for my sister who can't have wheat or diary. It worked! I made 18 cupcakes, then iced them with a buttercream made from soya magarine. They were lovely! Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
