THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[maddy]

Just lovely CC!
I had a bundt rose tin somewhere  from memory, I had lots of trouble cleaning cake from the crevices....did you have that problem?

Yep, bought it online Robyn.....because I haven't seen this model in the stores.
Apparently they are making a huge come back  like everything I guess.  I have noticed recently prominent displays in stores.

models available:  here

DD really wanted the "penguin"



.....but it was too expensive!

it is cute but yes very overpriced just because its a penguin?? some nice models online though comapred to usually the one in the stores!

Tis very cute....I think it was more expensive because this model had more stainless (instead of plastic), fits the glass carafes, and is bigger.  Online always has more choice

Maddy, yours looks much better than the normal one I've seen in Woolies.  I like the glass carafes too.

Maddy the soda stream looks good. This is probably a stupid question but for those who use the soda stream for soda water is it just plain tap water carbonated with the soda stream?

Thanks for the lovely comments on the cake everyone,I was very pleased with the result.DH and DS are enjoying it very much.

Maddy I brushed the cake tin with this stuff and the cake popped out and I just washed the cake tin in hot soapy water.

Wow CC that looks absolutely perfect. Well done, I have a similar tin that I have only used once and everything stuck and fell apart and I haven't used it since.

Great link CC!.....question.....solid vegetable shortening....is that sold here and what is it called?  I'm a bit clueless 
I have a cake decorators spray called "sprink", great stuff, but was concerned using it on my good non stick pans, as I'm sure it would have the same damage effect like on pans.

[Yvette]

Hally hope you find one you little spender
