It doesn't mention in the recipe, how long it takes for the fudge to set. From my experience, it takes at least 24 hours and, even after this length of time, its still really soft and a little difficult to pick up. Although it is the best fudge I've ever tried, really creamy and sweet. You can only eat one small square at a time, but that is all you need.

 

Stupidly, I ignored the warning saying to wear oven gloves. We don't really have a decent pair and I thought I'd be OK without... this is not the case at all! Please, please, please wear oven gloves when you make this. The pan, spoon and thermometer get extremely hot. If you can, take it in turns with someone else.

Tried & Tested #2

Recipe: Bullseye's best-ever browniesTaken from: Disney Cakes and Sweets (issue 1)Results: 5/5Recommend: YES DO IT NOW!

OK, these were the best things I have ever eaten. No lies. We left out the nuts and berries and had a pure chocolate version and they were just to die for. I melted the chocolate and butter in the microwave, rather than in a pan as suggested, and it literally took minutes to make up. If you want something quick and delicious, bake these. They taste best when they've cooled (the gooey middle sets a little bit better once cooled).

Hello everyone :)

So, here is my most recent creation - Disney themed cupcakes! They were for a gorgeous little boys Christening and his favourite Disney films were monsters inc, toy story and mickey mouse..

Tried & Tested #1

Recipe: Giant Mickey Mouse Cookies

So, this is our first 'Tried & Tested' post. I decided that it may be a useful addition to my blog because most of my inspiration comes from recipes in books/magazines. I will give you all my advice which may not be available in the books.

This recipe tastes amazing. They are great biscuits but are ridiculously addictive.. which is why we don't have a picture (sorry!). I would recommend adding chocolate chips 'cos everything tastes better with chocolate.

I did have a challenge with the cutter.. my mickey kept loosing his ears so after a few attempts, I gave up and grabbed my pooh bear cutter instead. If you have more time/patience than me then it will work but I, at this moment in time, had neither.
