    It still cracks me up when ex-muslims eat pork and talk about pork. I'm sure it still excites us; months and years into our apostasy.

    Yes, it does excite me, not because it's thrilling or adventurous but because it fucking tastes good.

    Today I had a medium-rare fillet steak from Beefeater. Probably the best steak I've ever had. Medium would've been a wiser choice though.

    I made this all by myself  cool2  I'm becoming quite the cook !

    I don't if it has a name so I'll call it "chicken a la creme fraiche". It's fried chicken, mushrooms, and peppers with creme fraiche added lastly. I added some tabasco sauce and ground pepper. 

    The rice is Iraq-style. Basically, you soak the rice in cold water for 10 mins, put some oil in the pot and wait until it heats, then pour the rice when the oil gets hot. You add salt (pepper/turmeric/cinnamon..etc), put on maximum heat and keep mixing unyil the water evaporates. At which point you put the heat to medium or low and wait for 30-40 minutes with minimum mixing.
    My Irish and Chinese flatmates were like Phwoar "this is the best rice we head" . I added turmeric (for the color) and ground pepper.

    All in all, delicious !

    I've been watching a lot of Heston recently and fallen in love with his ideas! I am so tempted to bake an edible Christmas tree for this Christmas. I haven't had a huge amount of experience baking cakes though, and the cakes I had make are usually quite crumbly. Might need some help from you guys on trying to make this idea plausible (look mostly at you Ferrero!!!)

    I think the easiest way to do this is to make little square cakes, and then assemble them (like lego) into a xmas tree shape (like a cone). The biggest problem is how I'm gunna sort out the tree trunk to make it look realistic. Obviously I cant balance the whole cake on top of the trunk, it'll topple over. Any ideas on how to creatively solve my problem? One of my ideas is to make little xmas presents to line the bottom, they can hide the trunk from view.

    I need some recipe ideas on making this:

    1) I want the cake itself to be nice and soft, but sturdy enough to stay together without crumbling.  What's the best way to achieve this?

    2) I'm probably gunna use icing to decorate my tree. I'll be using dyes to give it colour. Is there a special type of icing I can buy that can be molded into shapes? Or will the normal one do?

    3) Is there any 'glittery' decoration I can buy? I know there are these silver ball things, but no idea what they are or what they're called. I just remember them from my childhood.

    4) The presents will need colouring too. I think icing might be the best way to 'wrap' them. Unless anyone has other ideas?

    Any creative ideas will be appreciated! I have 3 weekends to practice and make it. I'm very tempted to do this, it'll be so much fun! dance

    That might be how I'm gunna end up doing it.

    Been doing some googling. Apparently fondant is used to do shaping. Found a very simple marshmallow recipe for it so might try that Afro Just need a good cake recipe now. I made a really lovely gateau once, might use a similar style recipe.

    Fuck you Tongue

    I found the name of those silver balls. They are called dragees. There's plenty on ebay, however considering the snow here I have no idea how long I'll be waiting for those. I don't know what shops sell them. If I don't find any then I'll just order off ebay. I've got 3 weeks.

    I want my tree to look magical. I'm tempted to get edible gold/silver powder and make it that colour instead of green. Not sure how it will turn out though and whether the colour will work properly... *ponders away*

    Peru-

    Silver balls are very common. Pop down to your local supermarket and they will probably have some (bar the smaller express ones, they seldom have anything I want <_<). As for piping equipment, have you got a local branch of Lakeland: http://www.lakeland.co.uk/L?content=about_us.htm ? John Lewis and House of Fraser's kitchen depts are usually quite good value for money when it comes to these.

    What sort of cake do you want to eat? A chocolate one? Traditional victoria sponge? The base of your tree is very important in terms of balancing everything else built on top. Don't forget that even if you bake a round cake you could trim it to make a square/rectangle and one big cake could have 2 smaller building blocks cut from it.  Depending on how high you want your cake to go, you could bake 2 big cakes. Cut a rectangle (with good base size) out of one of them and cover it with royal icing. Then cut out a smaller rectangle so it fits on the base but forms a diagonal slant going upwards, wrap that and go up. The branches could be triangular slices of cake (levelled off), and joined onto the base in such a way that the folds on the branch blocks are covered. Maybe just use light sponge (no filling) to minimise weight. For colouring, i recommend using a concentrated dye. You only need a few drops to get the colour you want and it does not alter taste/smell of the icing.

    There are many ways of doing the icing on that tree- it could be piped out and then sprayed 'frozen' (the name escapes me), a bigger block of coloured icing could have the spikes carved out and textured(cocktail stick Tongue ) or the spikes can be made individually and then moulded to the base with some warm water.

    This sounds like an exciting project!

    I don't think I'll bother with a tree trunk. That tree cake I posted above looks just fine without one, and it seems pretty easy to balance right. Btw, if you go on that link the person shows how they put the cake together to get that shape. Seems pretty simple so might go for that idea, and it'll keep my cake nice and round Smiley

    I haven't decided what kind of cake I want yet, it'll probably be chocolate though. I want to add some cream in between layers but not sure that will work. Probably get squashed out. Might try anyway.

    Can I use buttercream instead of royal icing as a type of cement? It's really simple to make and doesn't contain raw eggs. I'm gunna try to experiment a bit this weekend.

    There's a John Lewis in town so I'll look in there for piping equipment. I really want to try and replicate the branches on that tree I posted above, it looks really well done! Gunna have to experiment a bit this weekend and see what I can come up with.

    I'm quite tempted to buy some edible silver leaf and use it to create tinsel. I can also use it as ribbon for the presents. I'm planning on making the presents from brownies and cover them in coloured fondant to give them colour. Should look awesome.

    When it's all done I can cover it in powdered sugar to make it look like snow dance

    I really hope to god the buses are running this weekend. I really need to go into town otherwise I wont have enough time to prepare.

    Ooh, you aren't fussed about the tree trunk showing are you? In that case, you don't need the layer of royal icing. I have a different structure in mind.

    How about this design:
