Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I am having my son's b'day party this Saturday and it meant to be around 40C. I need some recipe ideas that are going to cool down the guests!

I'm already thinking fruit and ice blocks but is there anything interesting i can do??

Thanks!!! ]]> Nikkidun http://forum.birth.com.au/foods-cooking-recipes-dietary-needs/86167-party-food-hot-day.html http://forum.birth.com.au/foods-cooking-recipes-dietary-needs/86142-cake-question.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:07:58 GMT I bought edible icing letters and edible tinkerbell things to put on DD's birthday cake for daycare tomorrow.

I was going to ice and decorate the cake tonight so it is ready to go in the morning, until I realised the letters and tinkerbell things are probably going to be ruined if they are on overnight in the fridge :ohmy:

It says on both packets to put on just before serving if using buttercream icing which I am. So my question is - do you think if I put them on at roughly 8.20am in the morning and the cake doesn't get eaten until 10.30 - 11am will they still look good????

I've managed to pick at least 30 tomatoes off the tomato plants in our back yard since last Thursday! I've given some away but still have so many to use up and there are heaps of green ones on the plants too.

So does anyone have a good tomato chutney or jam recipe???? ]]> GardenOfEden http://forum.birth.com.au/foods-cooking-recipes-dietary-needs/86026-need-tomato-chutney-jam-recipes-please.html http://forum.birth.com.au/foods-cooking-recipes-dietary-needs/86010-creamy-pasta-recipe.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:52:34 GMT just wanting to know peoples recipes for a nice rich creamy pasta. i found a reciepe in a cookbook and now i cant find the book. it used a casserole based sauce which i have. other ingredients i have are: garlic cream milk butter just wanting to know peoples recipes for a nice rich creamy pasta. i found a reciepe in a cookbook and now i cant find the book.

And I've only cooked a couple and that was so long ago, so I've forgotten. I've googled too and not found what I'm looking for.
I'm after the instructions that say what temp and how long per 500g.
Does anyone know?

Also what are you're favourite marinades/rubs? I was thinking just a little olive oil, rosemary, garlic, s+p. But I have some mint too... hmmmm.... mint or rosemary.... :032:

Now what i need to know is how do you get the icing to be 'skin colour'?? The main part of the cake is just your standard butter type icing but the other part is using soft icing.

Also how exactly do I colour soft icing?? I'm just going by a picture so don't actually have a recipe.

Hello,

I am making 2 Dolly Vardon cakes next Thursday for my girls birthday.

I got the tin for them last night and it is quite deep so I am just wondering if anyone could give me some hints and/or tips on how high to fill the tin, and if it actually cooks all the way through because it is so deep!!

I am planning to use packet mix vanilla cakes for it, im thinking they will need 1.5-2 packets each, im just worried they will burn on top and not cook through by the look of the tin.

Any advice appreciated!

was looking for meusli bars, fruit bars (like the ones you get at the supermarket etc. they are usually apricot etc) and jellies.

any other ideas would be cool. L loves his fruit, but he seems to be getting tired of the same old stuff! ]]> skyblu http://forum.birth.com.au/foods-cooking-recipes-dietary-needs/85802-snack-recipes-please.html
