Oooooh Bloody good choc cake . . . Made this appropriately named choccie cake for my family xmas lunch, and with a little tweaking made it into a bloody awesome banana cake as well. Scoffed, fondled and worshipped by all who tasted them and coveted by those who didnt get the chance. Thank you Recipe thread!!!

cherrebs - 2004-12-27 02:17:00

Thumbs up to the bakers of the world... I have always been a baker and am trying to teach my 3 sons to be as well. I started when they were young and it was a combined ( very subtle ) maths and science lesson as well. I must have succeeded, my 11 yr old this year for Xmas prezzies made, by himself...mini xmas cakes, xmas mince pies, rocky road, choc dipped dried fruits and pandoro bakeries chocolate brownie recipe. All packaged beautifully and presented with pride. His rellies were stunned and amazed. His confidence went thru the roof. As I said " thumbs up to the bakers" !!!
PS This is THE BEST thread - only discovered it today. Am going to slowly scroll thru and copy recipes tomorrow!!! Have to learn to cut and paste - too much time spent in the kitchen, not enough on the computer - perhaps the 11yr old can teach me as a "payment". Happpy baking and munching...

elleneva - 2004-12-29 16:27:00

Rock on Bakers!!!!! I am a Mum and I bake!!, the kids love it and as lots of others say is better than the shop refined additive stuff. And much cheaper!!, there are heaps of cheap baking recipes out there and all it takes is a wee bit of time. Keep the thread going folks!!!

mumstu - 2004-12-30 10:07:00

Forgot to mention.... As others have also said teaching kids to bake is really good for them, not just the measuring stuff but teaches them to have a go at new things and when they dont work my daughter and I have good descussions about why, must work because she came away with the school prize for home Ec.

mumstu - 2004-12-30 10:10:00

bump cos this is so yummy

karen165 - 2005-01-01 20:15:00

keep it up,,rather than write all these down and i dont have a printer howdo i copy them onto disic please

chrisynz - 2005-01-03 07:35:00

Hi Chrissy you can just open a folder in my documents or in word pad and label it recipes and keep it on your desk top then all you have to do is copy and paste the recipes you want onto it and save on to a disc.
Cheers everyone for liking this thread it is the community spirit which has made this a success i wish the budgeting thread was still going to that was another good one....and could come in handy for some folks at this time of the year

kob - 2005-01-03 10:02:00

I agree bump

mumstu - 2005-01-03 10:06:00

Kob and bams1 I take my hat of to you both for bringing back the old tradition of sharing recipes. I have been so excited after finding this message board today. I cant wait to put on some of my tried and true recipes that have been handed down. do you type them and then cut and paste or just type straight in? What is the verdict on recipe storage please? I'm sure you have all done the tried but failed and wanted to know what you think works best for you? Thankyou all for restoring my faith in people being kind caring and willing to help others. A bit hard to find these days!!

I spent one whole weekend putting all my recipes onto disc Its handy for when someone asks a question and you can refer straight to you notes on the computer rather than having to look in recipe books all the time.
Only to pleased to help and im thrilled that this thread has been kept alive

kob - 2005-01-06 10:57:00

Kob Have did you catalogue things. Did you put them i folders or just save individual titles?
Thanks

arty12b - 2005-01-06 15:07:00

kob - 2005-01-06 16:14:00
