What are you been cooking today

[johnro]

Yes, Snappy I have looked at the amazing creations on her website.  Believe me, the presentations created by moi are all very amateurish by comparison, but guests last year certainly enjoyed the range of treats

Hi johnro . . I remember you mentioning that past one but I can't seem to find the thread now.  What did you make for them . . and how in the world did you figure out the quantities?

[obbie]

So far 3 lemon coconut cakes, and a savory pull apart loaf.

Lemons, lemons, lemons, are you sick of the sight of lemons yet Obbie

[obbie]

Yes Mandi.

They are all juiced now, and in the freezer. At least they won't be wasted.

[dede]

Very true, you have done a great job by the sounds of it. No buying lemon juice for awhile for you.
How did you freeze it all? I'm assuming in small lots to thaw as needed.

Amanda, Sunday is daddy day for DS. I get most of the day to myself. Raining here so no washing.
Was about to start apple tea cake but I have run out of butter. Just enough to ice coconut cake.
Thanks to Quirky Jo I am using oil instead if butter in my apple tea cake.

[obbie]

Mandi, lots of ice cream containers, and tupperware.

Lemon juice freezes well for 12 months.

Goldfish, here's a copy of what Robyn made for the wedding reception and posted on the forum back on April 10th 2011.

Thanks to thermie JD I was able to complete 6 different desserts (x 2 slice trays of each) while DD dipped the cherry bites on Friday night - and yes the dessert/sweet bar was a roaring success.  DD brought in her bowl so I was able to set up a production line - 1 bowl for the crumb crusts and slice bases and the other for the fillings (sour cream and apple slice, NY cheesecake, white choc, macadamia and raspberry blondies, choc mint cheesecake and double choc mousse cheesecake)- wedding planner and caterers asked would we like to begin a venture.  The response was a resounding "no thanks" - it was the wedding gift. Cheers for thermie as I had made 8 batches cookies and cream fudge in TMX through the week as well as 8 batches choc fudge and 3 batches rocky road (though not using thermie) - then rara's cherry delights.
