lunch in Australia Private and public schools most people bring their own lunch. In Jnr Primary, only water is allowed. Flavoured milk and fruit juice is offered as a fund-raiser on Fridays (or a cup of frozen juice + disposable spoon in summer) At mid morning, kids have fruit break and the...

ohh fabulous lefse-lover we don't really do Halloween in a big way here, nobody decorates their houses at all! (Although, last year we made a jack-o-lantern out of an empty watermelon)

hi cooks. I don't post often. But here's a cute little spook who visited us tonight!

Thanks! so...I hope to see you at our school's next cake stand, with a pocket full of coins! :wink:

royal icing cement 1 1kg pack of icing sugar egg whites or meringue powder food colouring ziplock bags. pegs, bulldog clips or similar Damp clean cloths, such as teatowels. its just a strong royal icing mix, like you would use for a gingerbread house. if you don't mind raw egg, then start with...

hey, great idea. I would need to use runnier icing..this was a super hard setting royal icing, made to set fast and rock hard... I will try it this weekend!

pavlova pavlova always gets my vote. I buy the shell from the supermarket and then top with whipped cream and sliced fruit..super easy. otherwise, you could do fresh fruit skewers, or just bananas on sskewers, frozen, dipped in cocolate, and arranged like a bouquet or a gelati frozen cake...

only had a tiny bit of time to make something for DS school cake stall today! I cheated and simply decorated a packet of rice cookies hideous but I think they will sell.. IMO, these rice cookies are one of the better gluten free packaged bickies available. I think Arnotts make them. however...

eyeball report. well, they were a great success, the 6 year olds almost rioted when they saw them One boy grabbed two, others had to be held back, tears and tantrums from those who didn't get one. note to self, next time, make 30 eyeballs.

sounds yucky! but my son wanted eyeballs around his pirate themed birthday cake. its just balls of fondant, I painted cheap food coloring on. I did green first, and then added detail with blue. I cannot believe how real they look!

Well worth a try! if it was chicken I would include celery.

hey thanks everyone Thank you so much for posting on my thread! mini, of course you can use the recipe..

Quantities do not matter here, The size of the dice is "pea sized". finely dice the followng: left over roast lamb a potato a carrot a parsnip some peas an onion salt and ground pepper mix it all up in a bowl, add an egg to bind it a little. wrap in puff pastry ( I use a pie maker but you can...

if it has a bone in it, do 45 minutes per kilo of weight.

eating a lamb chop, grilled, nothing more.

its "meringue", spiritwolf! and....gotta say that sounds great alternative for my gluten free DH. Thanks for the idea.

thank you My little boy took them to pre-school for their Easter fund raiser. He was so proud. And happily, they sold very quickly and raised 50c per pair of cookies! :smile: SO I think the effort was well worth it. I only used half of the dough ball and took the rest of it on vacation to...

HI, I have used Alix's never fail recipe again with great success. here are pictures!

That's right Alix, I used the no-fail sugar cookies method, only made half the recipe and now of course I regret it, because they are good enough to give as Christmas presents . I used a royal icing recipe.. (eggwhite+ icing sugar) and put about 1/2 cup in 2 ziplock baggies. I used 2 drops of...

can I post a photo, let me see... ooh two successes in one day. now DONT LAUGH I have never cut a cookie or iced one before. My 4 YO helped me a bit so they look a bit smeary!

why not butter?? why can't we use butter Alix?? And what should we use instead?

utter utter disaster well, not entirely ...the sugar cookie dough rolls and cuts really well. the original recipe (from a cooking website) was for shortbread. And the instructions showed a lovely cut out cookie..which simply could not have been made using that recipe! It just goes to show...

Hi everyone, I am a newbie to the site and also to baking. I'm entranced by the thought of stained glass cookies, but I am havng trouble finding a good recipe for dough that's easy to roll out and cut, and holds its shape. Some of the recipes have basically been short bread cookies, which are...
