Pics when done

I never finished it, the dough was too soft and fell apart in the oven. I will try again when I've recovered from the embarrassment...

But heres something else.


Chocolate and Banana Cupcakes, I've realised cupcakes don't seem to rise that well on the back right side of the over. I eventually iced them with chocolate icing and topped em off with walnuts...


Chocolate and Vanilla truffles. These were pretty easy but I suck as piping and dipping... How am I suppose to pipe with a bag of hot white chocolate?

Where's the black pudding?

I had griddles asparagus and poached egg for breakfast. Burgers for tea as well, all is good.

Crushed chilli in the sauce!

[Kieran76]

Get oven super hot and put the tray in the oven to get hot as well.
Make sure the sauce isn't too thin and I like oregano in the sauce as well as **** loads of garlic.
