It's the water out of a tin of beans or chickpeas and although it was named by someone with no respect for Latin declension, it works a treat. This week I used it to make royal iced cookies - the recipe is below:<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi18tJzL8J5gE_E6CjxWZPhbOF-cNwcyTCavf5aHS__lDnB7UafDZKj4Iii4G9luLSyErA24XPRTuYPv7kSlkWb0duXporoutg0jZif5SR45o14MroBMCnzXhICpgoPs1Urvzt0_ZbTP6FB/s1600/AF+royal+icing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi18tJzL8J5gE_E6CjxWZPhbOF-cNwcyTCavf5aHS__lDnB7UafDZKj4Iii4G9luLSyErA24XPRTuYPv7kSlkWb0duXporoutg0jZif5SR45o14MroBMCnzXhICpgoPs1Urvzt0_ZbTP6FB/s320/AF+royal+icing.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Ingredients:</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
aqua faba 120ml - the water (unsalted) from one tin of chickpeas </div>
<div>
icing (confectioners) sugar, 600g</div>
<div>
1 teaspoon cream of tartar</div>
<div>
1 teaspoon vanilla essence</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The ratio of aqua faba to sugar should be 1:5, so if your tin only yields 100ml, use 500g icing sugar</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Method:</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whisk the aqua faba until it's white and frothy, then add the cream of tartar. Whisk some more then add the vanilla essence and add the icing sugar gradually. Continue whisking until you have a stiff glossy royal icing. This takes MUCH longer than it does with egg whites so either use a stand mixer or have strong arms.</div>

This can be used now as stiff royal icing to outline cookies (this helps to create a barrier when you flood the cookies); to add a border; or to pipe brief note of encouragement to your Valentine. </div>

It can also be flooded - simply add some water and when a thin ribbon disappears back into the morass after 8 seconds, it's ready. It can of course be coloured too.</div>

To make royal icing without egg white:<br />
<br />
Mix <span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">600g icing sugar, 4 teaspoons glycerine and the juice of 2 lemons. Beat slowly for 2 minutes until smooth.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">You can colour the icing - I find these gels are great and a little goes a long way. </span></span></span><br />

You can use the icing to pipe or use with a stencil - it is not as white as normal royal icing and is slightly more translucent, so if you're not adding colour you could add whitener<br />
<br />

You can also mix in a little water to use this icing for flooding. It is already wetter than stiff royal icing so only use a few drops of water. A good test is when a thin ribbon of the icing has disappeared back into the rest after about 8 seconds<br />

To ice a cookie, fill a small piping bag with icing ready for flooding and either snip a small hole at the end or use a nozzle - I used a PME plain nozzle size 3. Outline the cookie, fill in the line again on the inside and then "colour in" the centre.<br />

You can use a cocktail stick to fill in any little patches you've missed - this works better than adding more and more icing, as it will at some point burst the banks of your outline and spill off the cookie. You can also use a cocktail stick to finesse sharp angles and points.</div>

While the icing is still wet you can "drop in" detail in a contrasting colour of flooded icing. As the two icings are of the same consistency they will settle to become flush with each other. I used a PME plain nozzle size 1. You could also add on sprinkles while the icing is wet.</div>

Alternatively you can wait for the cookie to dry and add details on top, but I found the egg-free icing was more prone to flaking off than normal royal icing, so I stuck to a completely flat surface.<br />
<br />
Leave the cookies to dry overnight, or put them in the oven for an hour on a very low setting of less than 50 degrees C.</div>

I don't think the results are quite as neat as with normal royal icing and the surface is slightly dimpled and uneven, but for an egg free royal icing this is the best recipe I've found. Except of course for the aqua faba recipe for royal icing <a href="http://cakepoppins.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/aqua-faba-royal-icing-on-cookies.html" target="_blank">here</a> that gives neater results.</div>

Lastly, here is a good recipe for vegan gingerbread. I've found it stays harder and crunchier than gingerbread made with butter, so it's perfect for gingerbread houses and Christmas tree decorations where you don't want the biscuit to soften. Enjoy!</div>

I've played around with the recipe to make a vegan version:<br />

<br />
<i>Ingredients:</i><br />
<br />
100g dairy free margarine<br />
80g soft light brown sugar<br />
20g agave nectar or golden syrup<br />
3 teaspoons baking powder<br />
2 teaspoons speculoos spices <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">(to make 100g Speculoos spices, mix 8g ground white pepper, 8g powdered ginger, 16g ground cloves, 16g ground nutmeg, 48g ground cinnamon and 4g ground cardamon - keep the rest in a jar for next time)</span><br />
2 tablespoons soya milk<br />
200g wholemeal flour<br />
35g oatbran (you'll find it hiding in the cereal section of a supermarket)<br />
<br />
<i>Method:</i><br />
<br />
Cream the margarine, sugar and spices together until they are light and fluffy, then add in the milk and agave nectar or golden syrup.<br />
<br />
Mix in the flour and oatbran, then wrap the dough in clingfilm and leave in the fridge for a few hours.<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C and line two baking trays.<br />
<br />
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 4mm and cut out shapes. This isn't an easy dough to work with - use a generous dusting of white flour on your work surface, rolling pin and dough as it will stick and try to fall apart. Just tell it who's boss and crack on.<br />
<br />
Place the biscuits on the baking trays and bake for 12 minutes. Leave to cool on the tray, the biscuits will harden as they cool. Sprinkle with icing sugar to decorate.<br />

<i>Method: </i><br />
<br />
Heat the dried fruit, dark brown sugar and brandy until the sugar has dissolved, then leave to cool completely.<br />
<br />
Heat the coconut milk, vanilla, spices and light brown sugar until the sugar has dissolved, cool and then churn in an ice cream maker or freeze it in a tupperware box, stirring every hour. Once the coconut mixture is "slushy", stir in the dried fruit, broken biscuits and zest. Oil the inside of a bowl, line it with clingfilm and pour in the ice cream mix. Allow to freeze completely.<br />
<br />
Once the ice cream is ready to eat, leave it to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes then slide it out of the bowl and remove the cling film.<br />

These spiced biscuits are traditionally baked around Christmas time in parts of Europe, so I thought now would be a good time to share the recipe.<br />

1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4 and line and grease 3 x 8 inch tins<br />
<br />
2. Cream the margarine and sugar until soft, then add the golden syrup and mix again<br />
<br />
3. Sift the flour, spices and baking powder together and add to the mixture, beating slowly and gently<br />
<br />
4. Add the milk, taking care not to overbeat.<br />
<br />
5. Pour the mix into the tins and bake for 45 minutes until golden brown and the sponge springs back from a touch. Cover with a tea towel and leave to cool in the tins<br />
<br />
6. Once the sponges are cool, beat the margarine and icing sugar together with a splash of water, then mix in the jar of smooth Biscoff spread. Try not to eat any of the frosting - it is so tasty that you might find there's not enough left for the cake<br />

7. Pipe or spread nearly half the frosting onto the bottom sponge and sprinkle on half the crushed biscuits. Repeat this with the next layer of sponge, leaving a little of the frosting to decorate the top of the cake.</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Fill each ice cream cone about halfway up – you can either spoon in
the mix with a teaspoon or put the mix in a piping bag and pipe it into the
cones. Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown, then allow to cool on a wire
rack. The cupcake will have baked the length of the cone. The ice cream cone doesn't burn or leak or go greasy. For reasons I can't explain it just acts like a cupcake case.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 11pt;">I was welcomed at WISE with a cup
of tea and cakes when I did a double take at the pink
macarons that looked normal but were labeled VEGAN. What was this egg-free
witchcraft? The chef told me the secret ingredient is the water from tinned
chickpeas – some dude in the US called <a href="http://www.vegancookery.net/" target="_blank">Goose</a> </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 11pt;">set the world of vegan baking
aflutter recently after discovering that it whips up like egg white.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">It was only when I got back to Newcastle and cracked open the
chickpeas that I realised I hadn’t asked about the recipe. I cast about the
internet and found a couple of US recipes for French-meringue uncooked sugar
macarons <a href="http://floralfrosting.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/peaches-cream-macarons.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.morselsandmoonshine.com/blog/2015/3/19/vegan-macarons-chocolate-amaretto" target="_blank">here</a> but neither worked for me. I suspect I didn’t beat the
mix for long enough<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">For my third and final attempt (there’s only so much chickpea
stew I can eat) I used my normal Italian-meringue cooked sugar macarons recipe,
which worked much better. There were a few losses, as there usually are with
macarons, and they are slightly more chewy than eggy macarons with bigger feet but
they have a lovely gloss and taste delicious. In tribute to Machynlleth I’m
calling them Macharons. Here’s the recipe:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

My dad was born 70 years ago to the day, narrowly missing out on having the enviable birthdate of 4/4/44.<br />
<br />
I made him a two tier birthday cake of chocolate sponge and fruit cake and modelled him out walking. He goes on a long walk with his fellow gadgies every Friday (gadgie is a north east word for old fella) and writes a very informative <a href="http://gadgiewalks.blogspot.co.uk/">blog</a> on each route. If you're looking for a well-mapped walk in the north of England with interesting detail on flora & fauna, archaeological sites, place name derivations, where to get a good bacon butty, a terrible pun and invariably a photo of a carpark, I urge you to visit it. Don't expect to find short, easy walks though - the gadgies are fit as lops.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But look at the detail! This gadgie might colour co-ordinate with the cake, but not in any sartorial sense. You can almost hear my mum saying "Michael! Grey jumper? Green trousers? Brown boots? These don't match". I swear he does it to annoy her. Also I know he is colour blind<br />

Next up - a stile in the middle of a dry stone wall. My dad often photographs unusual stiles and promises to publish a pamphlet entitled "Stiles and Gates of Northumberland and Cumbria". Retirement, eh? I can't wait.<br />

The sheep - there is an ongoing joke about sheep and his fellow gadgie Harry. I don't want to know. The pork pie is the symbol of the Gadgies with the Latin motto "Rarely overtaken, always drunk". The Friday walks are one of the few occasions my poor father gets to eat meat, having lived nearly all his adult life with killjoy vegetarians.<br />

The rabbit. My dad has no interest in rabbits, I just put one on the cake because it's nearly Easter and I think they're cute. One of our habits used to be counting all the rabbits outside the library on the walk into town (record was 13). However they all mysteriously disappeared one night and Newcastle City Council have not responded to my enquiries.<br />
<br />
I hope he enjoys his cake - just a few minutes left of 5 April to wish my dad a very happy birthday! xxx<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Ingredients:</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Italian meringue</u></div>
<div>
200g caster sugar</div>
<div>
75ml water</div>
<div>
80g egg whites (3-4 eggs)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Paste</u></div>
<div>
100g ground blanched almonds</div>
<div>
100g ground blanched unsalted peanuts</div>
<div>
200g icing sugar</div>
<div>
80g egg whites (3-4 eggs)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Filling</u></div>
<div>
125g double or whipping cream</div>
<div>
175g dark chocolate chips</div>
<div>
2 tablespoons peanut butter</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
These macarons use the Italian meringue or "cooked sugar" method. <b>You will need a sugar thermometer </b>or else a knack for catching sugar at the soft ball stage. Macarons usually only contain almonds but I've used half peanuts and half almonds - the peanuts add flavour and the almonds ensure the mix is sufficiently dry to form the macarons. If you're grinding the nuts yourself, be careful not to over-grind them or the nuts will become too oily to form a crisp macaron shell.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Method:</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
Start by making the Italian meringue mixture. Heat the water and sugar to 114 degrees C as quickly as possible <b>without stirring</b>. While this boils, gently beat the egg whites to soft peak. As the syrup reaches 114 degrees C, increase the speed of the mixer and pour the syrup in a thin stream down the side of the bowl into the beaten egg whites. Continue beating for 5 to 10 minutes while the mixture cools</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Working quickly, make the paste: mix the icing sugar and ground nuts together, then stir in the unbeaten egg whites. Using a spatula, fold in one third of the meringue mixture, then add in the rest, taking care not to overmix.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Line several baking trays with parchment (you can use a little of the mixture to stick the parchment to the tray). Put a number 1A plain round nozzle in a piping bag and pipe out small round mounds onto the parchment. Tap the bottom of the trays lightly on the counter and leave the macarons to rest at room temperature for about half an hour. They will form a thin crust so that when you lightly run a finger over them, no batter sticks to you.</div>

<div>
Heat the oven to 150 degrees C and bake the macarons for 14 minutes. As soon you take the cooked macarons out of the oven, slide the parchment on to a cold counter top to "shock" them and ensure they come cleanly off the parchment.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Be prepared to have a few disasters - for me the macarons at the bottom of the oven often come out a hollow sticky mess. </div>

<div>
While these cool, make the filling by bringing the double cream to boiling point. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolate and allow to sit for a couple of minutes, then beat into a smooth glossy ganache. Then add the peanut butter. Once the filling has cooled, use it to sandwich together the macarons.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And the failed macarons? Well you've got a load of egg yolks hanging about so why not make some<a href="http://cakepoppins.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/tried-and-tested-ice-cream-recipes.html"> ice cream</a> and break the macarons on top?</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">450g self raising flour</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2.5 teaspoons mixed spice</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 overripe mashed bananas</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the frosting:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">150g full fat cream cheese</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">150g smooth peanut butter</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">200g icing sugar, plus a little more for dusting</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 tablespoons of caramel sauce (optional)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">handful of chopped peanuts (optional)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This recipe makes a very substantial cake - you can reduce the height of it by making less sponge:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 overripe mashed bananas</span></span></div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use the same amount of frosting as you're covering the same surface area. Besides, it's so tasty you won't want to skimp on it</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Method:</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grease and line three x 8 inch round tins and preheat your oven to 160 degrees C/Gas Mark 3</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then a</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">dd the eggs one by one</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sift the flour and mixed spice together, then gently fold this into the mix. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lastly, add in the mashed banana</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Divide the mixture equally between the three tins and smooth with the back of a spoon</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bake for about 40 minutes (about 30 minutes if you're using the smaller amount of sponge) until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cakes comes out clean.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While the cakes are cooling, make the frosting by beating together the cream cheese and the peanut butter until light and fluffy, then add gradually add the icing sugar.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spread the top of two cakes with the frosting, the caramel sauce (if using) and a scattering of chopped peanuts (if using). Stack the cakes and dust the top and sides with icing sugar. You can decorate the top by piping on leftover frosting and adding the last of the chopped peanuts.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enjoy!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If one of your summer highlights is watching the BBC's Great British Bake Off, you'll remember James Morton from the 2012 final - that nice young medical student from the Shetlands with a penchant for Fair Isle knitwear. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following the success of a talk on baking during the Edinburgh Fringe, James was invited to do a Christmas show at The Stand comedy clubs in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Newcastle also boasts its own The Stand, but sadly he wasn't crossing the border.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Undeterred, Newcastle Cake Club ladies did a five hour round trip to see him bake a stollen. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last time I was at The Stand in Glasgow it was to see Daniel Kitson, who shares James' love of knitwear but was no help whatsoever when it came to bread.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">James talked the audience (about 98% female) through baking a Christmas stollen and shared his love of baking bread. While there is a whole science to baking, which he clearly understands, he completely demystified baking. He argued that home baking is simple and far better for you than supermarket bread, squishing a loaf of cheap white bread in his hand to prove his point that it is basically raw. As someone living on a student budget, he eschewed expensive</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> equipment ("Don't buy a baking stone, just get a loose paving slab or roof tile and give it a wash"). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We bought his book Brilliant Bread, took a little bit of his sourdough starter, had our photo taken and made him promise to come to Newcastle next time.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unsurprisingly for someone who runs a cake-making business, I bake a lot of cake. But I rarely bake bread. It was time to getting cracking with my new recipe book.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like to read magazines and books starting at the back, meaning I skip the adverts and know who dunnit straightaway. So I started near the end and the first thing I baked was Peanut Butter Brioche Twists.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But James was waiting for me on page 117: "back to the start you chancer" and I scuttled off to the beginning to make soft white rolls</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, I'd been feeding the sourdough starter we'd been given in Glasgow and, like me, it was ready for his favourite chapter: Sours. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've tried making sourdoughs in the past and given up. To be honest I was slightly scared of the starter growing in my kitchen every day, sometimes bursting out of its container and shouting FEED ME SEYMOUR. James' book has changed this: for a start, I've realised that you're meant to keep throwing away some sourdough and that you can keep it in the fridge if you're not baking every day.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Proving bread in the fridge overnight has been a revelation for me, as has baking in a cast iron pot. I admit that I can't always get a good shape on a sourdough but the pot helps to support it - baking with the lid on creates steam to help it rise, then taking the lid off during baking helps caramelise the crust.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One excuse I've used for not making my own bread is that I can't eat a whole loaf on my own but this sourdough bread keeps so well that I can easily eat a loaf without it going stale, plus it's so delicious that I want to eat it all straightaway anyway. I've also found that friends are more than happy to accept half a loaf. I bought a supermarket "artisan" sourdough loaf last week and was shocked at how bad it was - no taste, no crumb and it went dry very quickly. It also went in the bin very quickly.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One sourdough that defeated me was the real pannetone, billed as one of the hardest breads there is.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The recipes have clearly been tested and do work (the blame for the panettone lies squarely with me). It encourages bakers to try their own flavours and offers good sensible advice on the practicalities of home baking, particularly on a budget. Brilliant Bread is already a firm favourite and I recommend it to anyone who wants to start baking at home. Thanks, James, come to Newcastle next time!</span><br />

I took its photo & tweeted it, an act that as any woman can tell you, immediately nullifies all calories and is the only reason for doing it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's called an Afghan biscuit, traditional in New Zealand and popularised by the influential Noel Edmonds Cookery Book. Nobody knows why they are called Afghan biscuits or why Noel hasn't published his book in the UK. It contains no raising agent and not much sugar, giving it a soft dense texture, just on the right side of seeming slightly stale like a Tunnock's caramel wafer or a Twirl chocolate bar.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday out of nowhere I craved the same biscuit, googled the recipe & baked some. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the biscuits:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">200g softened unsalted butter (or dairy free margarine if you want a vegan version)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">75g caster sugar</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">175g plain flour</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the topping: </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">60g double cream (or coconut milk if you want a vegan version)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">120g dark chocolate</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">walnuts</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and grease an oven tray</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cream the butter and sugar, then add the flour and cocoa.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add the cornflakes & try not to crush them too much</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place spoonfuls of the mix on the oven try and bake for about 15 minutes</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leave to cool</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To make the topping, bring the cream to boiling point, them remove from heat.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add the chocolate and stir.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spoon some chocolate mix into each biscuit and place a whole walnut on top.</span><br />

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don’t let it boil or the mixture
will separate (if this happens and it starts to look like scrambled eggs, press
it through a sieve).</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the cream and
flavouring, then freeze in the ice cream maker. When the mixture starts to
solidify, transfer it to a plastic container. Now is the time to add any pieces
like chopped nuts or chocolate chips. Put it in the freezer to firm completely.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It also works well with about 4 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter and a
handful of crushed peanuts, or my new favourite confectionery, Speculoos. If you'd like chocolate ice cream, sift 2 or 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder into the sugar, or for a richer version allow 200g dark chocolate chips to melt into the custard while it is still hot. You can stir in peanut butter too and you won't be sorry (unless you hate peanuts).</span></div>

for its taste and beautiful colour. The amount needed varies according to
taste – I used 100g of the hazelnut and pistachio pastes in the quantity of custard mentioned above, but only 50g of the
almond paste. You need to mix in the paste thoroughly before churning in the ice cream machine,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pistachios, almonds or hazelnuts with some chocolate chips. Or if the fat
content is still not high enough for you, you could make some almond roca (recipe <a href="http://cakepoppins.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/chocolate-almond-roca-recipe.html">here</a>),
break it into small pieces and add that to the almond ice cream. </span>I also did the
same with hazelnuts for the hazelnut ice cream. Both were so delicious I
wondered why nobody will marry me (I know, I know, it's my personality).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For a healthier option (note that I’ve listed far fewer of these options) you can make a frozen yoghurt – this <a href="http://kitchenconfidante.com/lemon-curd-frozen-yogurt-recipe">lemon curd frozen yoghurt</a> was
like a citrusy smack in the chops. You could also make a sorbet with just about
any fruit. I made this <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/raspberry_crme_brle_08500">raspberry sorbet</a> which went down a treat; I also tried
these alcoholic sorbets and, while I’m not a big fan of alcohol in puddings,
enjoyed both the <a href="http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1415681/gin-and-tonic-sorbet">gin & tonic</a> sorbet and the <a href="http://www.humblecrumble.com/desserts-recipes/pimms-sorbet/">Pimms</a> sorbet. Remember to follow the

bottle of vodka you’ve got hidden inside a bag of peas.</span><br />

add egg white but as I wanted these to be vegan I left it out and
it worked fine. The addition of egg white (or even gelatine) helps to stop
crystals forming after a couple of days, but I find eating all the sorbet

It's winter now and the ice cream machine has more or less gone into hibernation. There are, however, two winter flavours that are worth mentioning. Firstly, treacle toffee ice cream, inspired by a trip to The Feathers Inn in Hedley On the Hill. Simply make some treacle toffee (recipe <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/bonfire_toffee_21396">here</a>), break half of it into small pieces and melt it into the milk when making a traditional custard base. You can hide the leftover pieces of toffee in the bottom, like the bubblegum in a Two Ball Screwball only even better.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 cinnamon sticks</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 tablespoon ground ginger</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 teaspoon vanilla extract</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 egg yolks</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">50g light brown sugar</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">30g black treacle</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">50g golden syrup</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Put the milk, cream, salt and all the spices in a pan. Bring to the boil, simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat to let the flavours infuse for an hour. Strain the mixture to remove the spices and stir in the vanilla extract.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, syrup and treacle, reheat the cream mixture and add little by little. Return the mixture to the pan and stir until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Cool, then churn in an ice cream maker.</span><br />

I can have a heated debate on "The Top Ten Chocolate Bars with Nuts in Them" (Topic always wins, despite its disappointing size) but the stand-out confectionery for me is violet creams. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Floral-scented confectionery can really split a room: I'm in one corner with the old ladies, gleefully pawing a box of scented chocolates, whereas recently I offered a friend some lightly-flavoured rose cupcakes and she turned them down, saying "they'd make my husband retch". </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I couldn't find a recipe for violet cream cake so I made one up. Here it is: </span><br />

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cream the butter and sugar together until it's light and fluffy and add the violet flavouring, creme de violette if you're using it and the food colouring</span></li>

<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add the eggs one at a time until well mixed, then gently fold in the flour. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Split the mix between the two tins and bake for about 40 minutes until the sponge springs back from the touch and a skewer comes out clean.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cool the cakes on a wire rack</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Meanwhile, make the frosting:</i></span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dissolve 150g of the caster sugar in 60ml of water over a high heat until it reaches 114 degrees C. You don't want the sugar to brown so the quicker it reaches this temperature the better.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While the sugar syrup is boiling, whisk the egg whites to soft peak stage, then add the remaining 30g sugar and whisk until stiff (the eggs, not you). </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the sugar syrup has reached 114 degrees C, plunge the pan in cold water to stop it cooking and with the mixer still on, trickle the syrup down the side of the bowl slowly. You don't want to pour the hot syrup all over the mix or it will scramble the eggs. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Continue mixing until the sides of the bowl no longer feel warm and add the violet flavouring, creme de violette (if using), colouring and butter. Add the butter in pieces - it's important that you don't add the butter while the mix is still warm or it will melt.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The frosting can look as if it's gone horribly wrong - keep mixing and it will come together.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Note! The eggs in this buttercream have only been very lightly cooked. If you're pregnant or elderly or have a thing about lightly cooked eggs, perhaps just watch someone else eat the cake for you.</span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i> To make the ganache: </i></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put the cream and liquid glucose into a small pan and heat until bubbles start to form on the surface. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate pieces</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Allow the chocolate to sit in the cream for a couple of minutes, then stir it in to form a smooth glossy mixture.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let the ganache cool until it is no longer warm but still runny</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>For the decoration:</i></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Melt the chocolate pieces gently and put it in a piping bag. Spread out a piece of baking parchment and pipe flowers onto it. Stick a crystallised violet in the middle and leave them to set. Really I only did this because Paul Hollywood once gave someone a hard stare for leaving the sides of their cake unadorned in the Great British Bake Off.</span></li>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's a chance you have some leftover meringue buttercream and ganache, which is far too nice to waste. I used it up by baking some chocolate cupcakes, adding a layer of ganache on the top and piping the buttercream over it.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's also a chance that if you like violet creams, you also like rose creams. You can ring the changes on this recipe by substituting rose extract and a splash of vanilla for the violet flavouring. Sprinkle on some dried rose petals so Paul Hollywood doesn't get all grumpy. You can use leftover rose buttercream and ganache by baking some chocolate cupcakes.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's also a very real chance that you've got some leftover violet flavouring. Why not make some violet cream ice cream by simply adding it with dark chocolate chips to a custard-based ice cream recipe?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0_UV6tIHLUJUcxTwd22Ex_j6z0D7N6NAuKRBJQ0t93ut5Se5JtiUepJgc9Jhm7swR11z8yp7haIsz0_isd60qc3l4vsgDqyvu-dGaa-_YQ-kJbFhODYeJtXQ2q7VzzInX0JWvil_uJwV-/s1600/IMG_6068.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0_UV6tIHLUJUcxTwd22Ex_j6z0D7N6NAuKRBJQ0t93ut5Se5JtiUepJgc9Jhm7swR11z8yp7haIsz0_isd60qc3l4vsgDqyvu-dGaa-_YQ-kJbFhODYeJtXQ2q7VzzInX0JWvil_uJwV-/s320/IMG_6068.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh! and now you've got leftover egg whites from making ice cream. You can make chocolate macarons and use the leftover ganache and meringue buttercream to sandwich them together.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By the way, I also have a list of Top Ten Violet Creams. It's a bit vague, like "the ones from that shop in Lincoln that closed down", but top of the pops is Rococo Chocolates, phenomenally expensive but utterly delicious. My 2 year old nephew sent me some for my birthday last year, securing his position as "person most likely to inherit all my worldly goods". If you'd like a chance to disinherit him, it's July 12th and it's these ones.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the 1960s my Aunt Kate emigrated to Alberta, Canada. Every other year she would send her daughters back to the UK to teach them what an English summer was like so they would understand why she'd left. This meant that every other year I had a playmate who was just my age - cousin Sarah - and for all that we grew up thousands of miles apart, we've always been close.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My long-held dream was that my parents send me on a reciprocal visit to Alberta but they refused, citing lack of funds. Also my dad put me off a bit by telling me that in Canada you had to say everything in English and then in French because it's a bilingual country (I believed him). For all that I've visited the cousins several times in Toronto, I'd still never visited their childhood home in the prairies.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back in Edmonton, we made the trip I always insist on in Canada and went to Dairy Queen for a Blizzard. This is like a McFlurry but much much nicer - the gimmick is to show how thick the ice cream is by turning the tub upside down. I always go for a Skor (Daim) Blizzard but was impressed by Helen's mint Oreo and have one booked in for 2015.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other actors in the Penelopiad had recommended <a href="http://duchessbakeshop.com/">The Duchess Bake Shop</a> as the best bakery in Edmonton. We went twice to check if they were right and we tried nearly all the cakes as well as the cookies, shortbread, macarons and croissants. Turns out the actors were bang on - the cakes were amazing.</span><br />

sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker"</span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. So tasty you want “s’more”. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

club is no pies, no tarts, no cupcakes, no brownies, no anything that isn’t one
large cake, I decided to badger my Canadian cousins for a s’more cake recipe
and was directed to this amazing-looking s’more cake by <a href="http://www.fatgirltrappedinaskinnybody.com/2011/06/ultimate-smore-anniversary-cake/">Fat Girl Trapped in a Skinny Body</a> I baulked at making such a large and complex cake and opted instead for a simpler <a href="http://www.fatgirltrappedinaskinnybody.com/2010/09/smore-cake-2/">s’more cake recipe</a> she also shared.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">The problem about making s’mores in the UK is
that it’s very hard to get hold of the key ingredient: graham crackers. I was
advised to use digestive biscuits instead and as they’re crumbed in this recipe
anyway, it’s probably OK. The other problem is North America’s baffling use of cups for measuring things that aren't breasts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Europeans with the help of my Nigella Lawson cups and some kitchen scales.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<ul>
<li>Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius/gas
mark 3 and grease and line two 8 inch baking tins</li>
<li>In a large bowl, mix the vegetable oil, apple
sauce, eggs and vanilla extract</li>
<li>In a separate bowl, mix the digestive crumbs,
flour, salt and baking powder</li>
<li>Add this to the liquid mixture alternately with
the evaporated milk</li>
<li>Divide the batter between the two tins and bake
for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the tins
for 10 minutes, then allow them to cool completely a wire rack</li>
<li>Once the cakes are cool, mix the frosting by
beating the icing sugar and butter with a splash of water until smooth. Then
add the marshmallow fluff and beat until it is all combined</li>
<li>Sandwich the two cakes together with the
frosting. You might not need to use all the frosting</li>
<li>Heat the cream in a saucepan until it is
simmering, remove from the heat and add the dark chocolate. Allow the chocolate
to sit in the cream for a couple of minutes, then beat it with a spatula into a
smooth glossy ganache </li>
<li>Spread the ganache over the top of the cake.
You can decorate the top with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, or as I
did use leftover frosting</li>
</ul>

sponge has an almost savoury taste like Cornflakes while the frosting is super
sweet. I gave the s’more cake to a group of friends who said it was delicious.
Maybe they were being polite. Maybe they had the munchies. I don’t know. But
hey, look at his funny little face!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">As I wandered
about looking at the grouped canvases that together made one huge painting, I
started thinking about cake (this often happens). Specifically, whether it
would be possible to create one large image on a grid of individual cakes. I
searched for an occasion and an image to try the experiment. I didn’t have to
search far – I was two weeks away from my 40</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><sup>th</sup></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"> birthday and had commissioned a family portrait by <a href="http://www.kimhaskins.co.uk/">Kim Haskins</a>.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">Key to the
project was getting a large print of the image on sugar paper. I highly
recommend <a href="http://www.eatyourphoto.co.uk/">Eat Your Photo</a>, who print and post good quality images quickly and at
a very reasonable price. They were extremely helpful in getting the right size
for the image – I wanted it 15 inches square, which meant printing the image in
4 separate parts. They matched it perfectly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">I bought 25 three
inch square cake boards and cut two layers of vanilla sponge slightly smaller
than the board, allowing for the 8mm that the sugarpaste would add to the size.
Then I simply had to sandwich the two layers together with raspberry jam and
buttercream, crumb coat the cake (also known as “dirty icing”, which makes me
snigger every time), chill the cakes and cover them with sugarpaste. Twenty
five times. What could be more fun on your birthday?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">Once all the
cakes were iced, I cut the image into 25 three inch square pieces and attached
them to the cakes with a tiny bit of edible glue. As the image was already on
four separate sheets, some of the cakes had two or even four pieces of sugar
paper to attach – you can see the joins on Mia’s face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">If you’re
attempting this, try to keep all the pieces in order or at least have a copy of
the original to hand, or else you end up with a rapidly disintegrating jigsaw.
Sugar paper is delicate – if you have trouble detaching it from its backing,
pop it in the freezer for a couple of minutes to dry it out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial;">Newcastle city centre looks at first glance like any other
identikit British high street. Once you’ve tired of shopping at the enormous
M&S or Primark or H&M, the usual suspects are ready to offer you an
overpriced hot drink: Starbucks, Costa and Nero. God forbid that you go all
“British” and ask for tea – it will be foul.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial;">There is, however, good food and drink to be had at a fair price
elsewhere in the city centre: in our arts venues. No Swiss tax avoidance
systems here, nor a shame-faced offer to pay UK tax as if it’s some kind of
charity opt-in. These are the public venues which last month were threatened
with a 100 per cent cut in council funding. They offer some of the best
entertainment in our city and some of the best food. Here’s a quick tour heading
from north to south of the city:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

life-size T-Rex replica skeleton, a full size model of an elephant and two
mummies from Ancient Egypt that terrified me as a child. That’s all very well,
but what about the cake? So tasty that I forgot to take a photo of it before I
ate it. There’s also a large playroom for toddlers and a good gift shop, which as any
Philistine will tell you is essential for a satisfactory museum visit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

in visiting theatre. I remember seeing Little Shop of Horrors there in the
1980s when it was still called Newcastle Playhouse, and I certainly won’t
forget the Byelorussian play I saw with my dad this summer that featured a
naked, screaming and fully waxed woman being doused in black paint. Tim Key and
his bath visited the Northern Stage last month, one of the best acts I’ve seen
in a long time.

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial;">I often think if you want a cheap lunch, follow the silver
pound. Pensioners know a trick or two and they’re not going to be fooled into
paying over the odds for a panini when all they want is a sandwich. This is
true of the next two venues – the <a href="http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/laing-art-gallery.html">Laing Art Gallery</a> (free entry) and the <a href="https://www.tynesidecinema.co.uk/">Tyneside Cinema</a> - both serve good no-nonsense food. Today at the Laing I had a fried egg
stottie and a pot of tea for £4.40, then necked some chocolate tiffin.</span></div>

regional home to the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, Opera
North and Rambert Dance Company, celebrated its 175<sup>th</sup> birthday this
year. It was where we were taken on school trips to see ballet and where my
neighbour used to take me to see the Christmas pantomime, only marginally more exciting than
the whole box of Milk Tray she’d take for JUST ME AND HER. It was here I first met
Rowan Atkinson when as a shy 16 year old I asked for his autograph. There’s a
blue plaque commemorating the event (written in biro like all the best ones).
More recently it’s where me and my dad have seen King Lear, Othello and Julius
Caesar and where we made a merciful pact never to see a Shakespeare comedy
again. </span><br />

fascinating exhibitions – I’ve particularly enjoyed the Judith Kerr exhibition
(nearly managed not to cry in public over the death of Mog the Cat) and the
Puffin Books 70<sup>th</sup> anniversary. There’s a family friendly café and
I’ll be honest – the buggy to cake ratio is far too high for me to set foot in

the dressing up box to yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

venues face cuts to funding. Whether or not it will be the proposed 100 per
cent remains to be seen – you can have your say <a href="http://www.letstalknewcastle.co.uk/consultations/index/63">here</a>.
It is, however, certain that funding will be cut and these institutions need
visitors – to their cafes, their galleries, their exhibitions, their plays,
films and comedy. If we don’t use them we will definitely lose them. Next time you
fancy lunch in town, remember that hidden behind the bright international
coffee outlets there are some local cafes that could do with your help. They
probably make a decent cup of tea, too.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

bicarbonate of soda and ground ginger together using a sieve, then stir in the

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Take a boiled sweet and crush it, either with a rolling pin or by saying it is ugly and has no real friends. Put the crushed
sweet inside the heart shape and bake for about 12 minutes until firm. While the biscuits are still hot, trim the edges with a sharp knife to make sure they are straight - this will help hugely when you come to stick them together. Allow
the biscuits to cool completely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">You can decorate the biscuits by dusting them with icing sugar – put
a spoonful of icing sugar in a sieve and tap it very gently with your finger so
the sugar “snows” onto the biscuit. I made these patterns with a doily. Oh yeah, I'm the kind of cool kid who has paper</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"> doilies.</span></div>

and stirring, or if you have a packet of royal icing by following the
instructions on the box. You should have a thick smooth icing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

piping bag, or you can use a freezer bag with the end snipped off. Pipe a
thick line of icing along the edges to hold the four biscuits together. This royal icing pattern is called a snail trail (NO GIGGLING AT THE BACK)</span></div>

little holly leaves and berries. Roll out the green florist paste finely and
cut out a little leaf. Push the plunger to add veins on the leaf and leave this
to dry. The PME holly leaf cutter is ideal and is sold in cake decorating
shops. I got mine at <a href="http://www.stangerscookshop.co.uk/">Stangers Cookshop</a> in Jesmond. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now start making the
cake pops. Mix the cake crumbs and the buttercream until the mixture forms a
solid ball like pastry. Add the cake crumbs and buttercream together bit by bit
so you can stop the mix from being too dry or too wet. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

of the mix and roll it into a smooth ball, placing it onto the cake board.
Repeat until all the mixture is used and you have a dozen little balls.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With a lollipop stick,
make a hole <i>no more than halfway</i> into the ball. Don't push the stick
right through the ball or you have hugely increased its chances of sliding off
the stick.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Melt 20g of the milk
chocolate. Dip the sticks into this and insert into the holes. This will help
the cakepop to stay on the stick. Put the balls into the freezer for 20 minutes
until firm but not frozen.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt 36.0pt; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the 20 minutes
are nearly up, start melting the rest of the chocolate very gently in a small
deep plastic bowl in the microwave (30% power for 30 secs at a time, stirring
each time). Once the chocolate is all melted, it should be barely warm to the
touch and pour in a sheet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove the cakepops
from the freezer. Take one and dip it into the chocolate. Turn it slowly, so
that the chocolate covers a centimetre onto the stick, sealing the cake
completely. The butter in the cake will fight to get out; by trapping it in
completely, you will have it defeated. Tap the stick gently against the bowl so
excess chocolate runs off, then leave to dry.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt 36.0pt; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stand the cakepops to
dry in a polystyrene block and don't allow them to touch each other. I find it helps to shout "NO KISSING"" at them. Try not to
touch the chocolate or you'll get a big fat fingerprint on it. Instead, use a
cocktail stick to burst any bubbles or cover a missed bit.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the milk
chocolate has set, melt the white chocolate and dip the top of the cakepop into
it. While the white chocolate is still tacky, carefully place two holly leaves
and berries on it. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
