Hi everyone, I am planning on making these as cup cakes tonight and icing them in the morning. I have some cup cake 'cake toppers' (the rice paper ones - Fremantle Dockers ones for a grand final snack!) - but I have never used them before. What kind of icing would you recommend? I understand you don't want an icing that stays moist as it will make the image run.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

I got given this as a Xmas present (it was due out a while ago but they had some delays due to printing or something). Lots of the recipes look really good, and like has been said, there doesn't seem to be a lot of things used that wouldn't already be in the fridge / pantry.

I think the first thing I will try to make is the Involtini de Melenzane - it looks like my kind of meal! Will let you know how I go.

My tupperware arrived today (also from Malaysia!) - am very happy with it :) should have a new steam mop arriving this week too....I need weeks like these to distract me from work which is very hectic right now. It seems rather sad though to be excited about cleaning out my pantry and mopping the floor!

Thanks Obbie - I have been looking at the eBay sites, I just don't know what sizes I need.

I notice a few of you guys have been buying tupperware - is there a guide somewhere for working out what sizes to get? i.e 2kg of flour needs a container of X size?

Thanks

Mine have never even lasted till the 'cooled down' stage so I'm not much help sorry.

All good advice - thanks guys. Tenina I'm always scared to halve recipes the first time, I'm not the best cook and I worry it won't turn out right. I'll leave them in the fridge and re-indulge on the weekend.

I hadn't thought about freezing - its cream and chocolate essentially so I don't see why not. Just pop them in the fridge the day I plan to eat.

Good idea - thanks. I might freeze the remaining 2.

Cheers

I made these last night. Put it into 4 ramekins....probably need to find something smaller and make 8 of them. Very rich, very decadent. Almost tasted like eating icing. Nice - but I felt guilty after eating it - rather than delighted by the taste. Who knew that was possible! Not sure I would make them again unless I could find smaller dishes and it was a dinner party.

Very simple to make, very quick and nice. Thanks Tenina

Does anyone know what the maximum amount of strawberries I can use for this recipe in the Thermomix - I read that doing 1kg in the thermochef ended up with burnt bits on the bottom and I don't want that.

But I bought a tray of strawberries yesterday for $5 at the markets and I am keen to use them!
