My little man loves cooking and baking, to the extent for the past 2 and bit years he has said he wants to be a chef and has already made a business plan - he's the chef, hubby is serving drinks, his brothers are waiters and cleaners and I can sit around in apretty dress and drink wine. lol!
Anyway, he asked if we could make some cakes, which I agreed, he then said like J (his brother) made at school with no packet mix. Errrrrrr I can't make cakes without a packet mix, they don't rise etc. But I agreed. Hubby bought the ingredients on tuesday when he did the shopping and today is the 1st day we have had a chance to make them.
The receipe my eldest used at school was 100g SR flour, 100g caster sugar, 100g margerine and 2 eggs, and it made 12, I also found teh same receipe on pinterest. We doubled it all up so we could make 24 cakes and ended up with 30, however I forgot teh last 6 were in the oven and they are slightly burnt on top.
But i'm impressed they did work and they did rise (slightly). (see pics below). We still have to ice them, of which 12 are having thomas tank rice paper on (can't remember how we ended up with spare rice papers from a pack).
