Questions
Good old rock cakes!
**Not a question; just feedback and no reply required.**
Thanks ladies for the Rock Cakes recipe. I'm showing my age here but when I saw the recipe, it brought back lovely memories of school days. Lining up at the Tuck Shop for Rock cakes; they were such a favourite, with lashings of good old-fashioned butter. Now I'll have to make some for afternoon tea!!
Frozen bluberries in muffin cake
Hello Lindsey,
I am planning on making the blueberry cake and I have raisins which are quite old, is it alright to use them? Also can I use frozen blueberries?
Thank you.
Kind regards.

Making larger surprise cup cakes
Hello Lindsey, for the Chocolate Surprise Cup Cakes, I would like the cakes to be a little bigger, could I increase the flour and mash to 125g keeping the measurement of the rest of the ingredients the same. I did them this week end and they turned out great but would like the sponge a bit bigger if that makes sense.
Regards...........Maria

Royal icing too stiff
Hi
I’m trying to royal ice a wedding cake and I want a flat surface.
I think my icing might be a bit too stiff and I’d like your advice on how to make it softer please.
Recipe is 2 large egg whites, 1lb icing sugar, 2tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp glycerine.
What can I add, and how do I add it please?
Thank you
