FRUIT CHIRSTMAS CAKES TO ORDER BY CELEBRATIONS MARBELLA

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:36:36 -0800

One of our regular cake makers, Daniella from Celebrations Marbella makes Christmas cakes to order that are worth a mention.

These traditional fruit Christmas cakes really are a special festive treat.

The Xmas cakes are made to order with 3 weeks notice (up until 1st December or there abouts!) so they can be regularly "fed" with brandy and left to mature. Delicious!

Daniella is also making mince pies to order as well as other festive cakes & goodies.

For decoration, the Christmas cakes come either traditionally decorated in Royal Icing or you can order one of our seasonal personalised Christmas cake toppers.

Special Dietary Requirements - Coeliac Disease

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:59:26 -0800

Latest News
SPECIAL DIETARY REQUIREMENTS - COELIAC DISEASE (September 09, 2009)We are pleased to report that a customer who found our website has checked the list of ingredients and that they are suitable for sufferers of COELIAC DISEASE.

Our products are Kosher certified and also we have clients previously tell us that they are suitable for lactose intolerant sufferers also.

We think this is great news, especially for children's birthday cakes since I am sure it must be hard to come up with cakes every year which are suitable for the dietary requirements as well as fun and appealing to kids.

HALLOWEEN CREDIT CRUNCH TIP #6 - FOOD AND DRINK

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:36:00 -0700

Today's free tip is recipes for ALCOHOLIC Halloween punches.

These look great at any Halloween party but remember, if there are kids at the party too, that they punch bowl is well out of reach of the children.

QUICK & EASY STOMACH CHURNING BLOOD RED PUNCH

1x 750 ml bottle Premium Vodka or White Rum
2x 2 litre bottles of clear Lime/Lemonade
Red food colouring
Marshmallows

Chill the Vodka (in the freezer) and lemonade (in the fridge) for at least 24 hours. Just before the party combine "spirits" and the lemonade in a large punch bowl.

Add red food colouring to make it blood red.

Then place the marshmallows on top of the mixture to create a gooey, stomach churning blood red punch.

For a truly exhaustive list of Halloween shots, cocktails and punches go to http://www.drinkoftheweek.com/special/halloween.htm

Tomorrows tip #7 will show you how to make a great ICY HAND for your punches, and tip #8 coming up is non-alcoholic Halloween punches.

These tips are brought you by the Halloween punch loving team at www.somethingcakey.com

FREE HALLOWEEN CREDIT CRUNCH TIP #5 - DECORATIONS

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:01:00 -0700

Admittedly I have yet to try this one out but I am sure it will work a treat.

To make floating ghosts you need

* Large Helium Balloon

* Some lightweight white fabric like voile or even large white bin bags will also do the trick

* Small glow sticks

* String

* Black card & glue

Very simple, tie the glow stick to the helium balloon and place the fabric over it. If using white bin bags, you will have to cut open the bin bag first and then maybe tie it around the balloon so it doesn't slip off.

Then with the black card, cut out some ghoulish eye and mouth shapes and stick to the fabric.

The floating ghosts will float around the room, especially if there is a fan to create a breeze and will have a spooky eerie glow from the glow sticks.

HALLOWEEN FREE CREDIT CRUNCH TIPS #4 - COSTUMES

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 04:14:00 -0700

Here are some recipes for you to make realistic-looking fake blood. Real blood is reddish brown so you may need to alter the amounts of ingredients for the desired affect. Keep in mind, fake blood is messy and some of these recipes may leave stains -- so use with caution.

It is recommended to apply Vaseline to skin before applying to reduce staining on the skin. Also, make sure that clothes and furniture that you do not want to be ruined are kept well away from the fake blood.

Chocolate Fake Blood

1/2 c. Warm Water

4 tbsp Corn Syrup

1 tbsp Cocoa powder

1 tsp Red Food Colouring

Blend the water and cocoa together and then add the rest of the ingredients. Leave to stand for a while. Skim any bubbles off the top.

You may wish to add a few drops of food colouring to adjust the colour.

Foolproof Fake Blood

Clear Corn Syrup

Red Food Colouring

Milk (Optional)

Pour it into a bowl and mix in some red food colouring (and blue food colouring also if you want to adjust the colour)

Adding a small amount of milk will make the blood appear darker and thicker.

Realistic Recipe

2/3 c. Corn Syrup

1/3 c. Warm Water

5 tbsp Corn Starch

4 tsp Red food colouring

1 tbsp Cocoa powder

2 drops of green or yellow food colouring

Mix the corn starch with the water in a large mixing bowl and then stir in the corn syrup. Add the food colouring drop by drop until you get the dark reddish brown colour of blood!

Credit Crunching Coffee Blood

Plain Flour
Water
Red food Colouring
1 tsp Coffee

The quantity of ingredients aren't important, it just depends on how much you want.

Boil the water then sieve in the flour, making sure you get ALL of the lumps out and you have a thick paste.

Add the red food colouring.

Dissolve the teaspoon of coffee granules into a small amount of hot water. The water must be HOT otherwise the coffee will not dissolve.

Add the coffee to the paste and the colour will change for a bright ghastly red to a reddish brown.

HALLOWEEN CREDIT CRUNCH FREE TIP #3 - FOOD

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 04:39:59 -0700

Today's free Halloween themed tip is this fantastic looking Melon Brain.

Its so simple - it's a no brainer (groan!)

Simply take a whole watermelon.

Peel off the outer green skin back to the white flesh (you may want to take a slice out of one side, so it sits easier on a plate)

With a knife, score deep grooves into the flesh until the red of the watermelon shows through.

You have just created a great Halloween themed food decoration suitable for both kids and adult parties.

This tip was brought to you by the Halloween-loving team at www.somethingcakey.com
