I made a banana cake and used the recipe posted here for Caramel Fudge Icing. Man, I was licking the pot out after I'd poured the icing over the cake. It was so yummy.

If you want it... Caramel Fudge icing:
3/4 cup brown sugar (firmly packed), 1/2 cup milk, 4 Tbsp butter. Bring to the boil and simmer like you do with fudge until it thickens (about 15 mins). Then beat with a wooden spoon until it thickens to the icing consistency and pour over the cake. It sets more as it is put over the cold cake. SOO YUMMY! I can't remember who's recipe it was here, but thanks.

Wanaka Gingernuts These are great and make around 2 dozen yummy biscuits. 100g butter, 225g sugar, 1 egg, 1T Golden Syrup, 250 g flour, 1 t baking soda, 3 t ground ginger.
Preheat oven to 170 C. Cream butter and sugar, add egg and syrup. Beat again then add sifted dry ingredients. Roll into balls and place on baking paper. Do not flatten! Bake for 20-30 mins until golden. Cool on a rack. Hope you enjoy them!

Cheese and Olive Bites These are so morish..& EASY!!
Into whiz:
1 cup flour
100 grams cold cubed butter
*Process until fine breadcrumbs

Add:
150 grams grated Tasty cheese
60 grams grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon dried Chilli flakes
*Pulse briefly

Add:
¼ cup black olives, stoned and chopped
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
Pulse until mix forms large clumps which sticks together when pressed with fingers. Add a little more water if necessary. Roll out onto a floured surface into 2 logs. Wrap logs in glad wrap – place in fridge for 1 hour, as it is easier to slice. Cut into slices when required and bake at 180*C, approx 10 minutes until golden (can freeze logs).

Forgot cake question. I have got an old baby photo copied to put on the cake. Will I have to put tin foil or glad wrap under the photo??? I'm using the brandy christmas cake icing from the edmonds book.

What an absolutely AWESOME thread!!!! Well done to those who have contributed...have copied a few recipes to try as baking and I aren't very often a happening thing..but when I do its look out!! lol Like many here..it seems home made baking never lasts long in any household!!

Keep up the good work...will post a pikelet recipe later for you all...it makes heaps!!! Nice for a weekend morning tea or similar. :)

pauls66 if you have had it done professionally on rice paper you wont have to put anything under nieth but if its just normal printer paper i suggest you laminate it ,that might keep it together longer other wise it may go soggy.....hope this is some help

kob - 2005-03-23 18:26:00

Hi kob Its a proper photo. I got a copy done in a kodak image machine.

pauls66 - 2005-03-23 21:43:00

Pikelet recipe. 2.5 cups flour, 2 tblsp baking powder, 2 cups of milk, 2 eggs, 4 tblsp sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla essence and a tblsp of golden syrup. Mix all together and cook as normal. Makes HEAPS!! :)

weeonex2 - 2005-03-23 21:55:00

Pauls how long have you got before you need to use it cause if you can take it into New World and get them to put it onto rice paper i think it costs about$6-8 but will look better and last longer all they do is scan the picture and print it out on rice paper....otherwise try the laminating this will at least keep the photo nice hopefully for the day you need it and you can cut around the shape of the photo then and place how ever you need

kob - 2005-03-24 06:20:00
587

pauls you will need to contact the bakery depsrtment of your local new world or similar store and ask about cake transfers and whether they do the photo transfers

kob - 2005-03-24 06:27:00

Thanks kob I think I have left it too late. Only decided to get photo yesterday. Party this Sat.

My mum's Banana Cake 250gr Butter 350gr sugar 4 eggs 3 or 4 mashed bananas 2 tsp Baking Soda 4 tbsp Boiling Milk 2 tsp Baking powder 450gr Flour
Cream butter & sugar, add eggs, mashed bananas, then soda dissolved in milk. Add flour and baking powder. Bake in greased roasting dish (mines about 350mm x 300mm x 80mm deep) at 180c for 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool right down.

My mum's mock cream Mum uses mock cream in the middle of it and dusts the top of the cake with icing sugar.
Mock cream - 200gr butter 200gr sugar 2/3 cup boiling water
In a small deep bowl (or if you're using a Sunbeam mixer use that bowl) add the boiling water to the sugar and stir until it’s a syrup. Add warm butter and beat until it resembles thick cream. Using an ordinary electric beater this takes 10-15 minutes or more but it only takes about ten minutes using a sunbeam beater. If mixture curdles just keep on beating - another minute or so and it'll turn to cream. Slice the banana cake into two halves and place the mock cream in the middle. Allow to set overnight. This makes the best banana cake I've ever tried.

Thanks Wimwom I made the Belgian Biscuits last night and absolutely love them. Took some to work(Cookie Time)and they disappeared in no time. Makes a change from our standard cookies.

Have something in common with all the home bakers in this thread.I,too enjoy doing my own baking.I have a family of nine, so all my recipes are tripled or quadrupled. My cakes are all roasting dish size, unfortunately they don't last any longer than a conventional sized cake. I make a choc-chippie recipe that makes 120+. These freeze really well and can be eaten almost straight from the freezer. I quite often bake muffins before the kids get up, so they can take freshly made muffins in their school lunches. Their favourites are banana choc-chip muffins amd apple muffins.
I am going to try some of the great recipes found on this thread,and may put in some of my own if interested. bams1, I have your bloody good choc cake recipe, have made it for years, mine is slightly different though.
I have had orders to make this cake for different events, it is soooo popular. I also make another
rich choc cake, made in a LARGE ring tin, really scrumptious, and soooooeasy to make. Anyone interested in recipes, let me know. Bon appetit.
