Hello Anne-friend! As above, it's basically sweet butter frosting, you just mix up 3oz butter + 3oz sugar + 1 tbsp hot water and you get a spreadable 'cream'. Perfect for the middle of cakes!

I know, what on earth?! It's basically sweet butter frosting I guess, you just mix up 3oz butter + 3oz sugar + 1 tbsp hot water and you get this spreadable 'cream' which goes in the middle of sponge cakes and shortcakes! Mmmmm, shortcake.

THAT is a FAB tip!! My sponge looked wonky, even Ivy commented. Flat top with some icing sugar, that’d be the trick. Thanks Chris!

The awesome thing about garlic is its multiplication! Even one head will yield a reasonable crop. Hope it grows well for you!

Happy birthday! Yes it is, a neighbour actually put it up in our tree one school holidays, and we left it there, we love it. xx

garlicky

How much do you love garlic? I love it in so many ways. Roasted whole. Sizzling in olive oil alongside onion. Rubbed on toasted sourdough. As the background kick in a delicious pesto. Garlic is so great. I grew it... Continue reading
