For florence we just use a normal icing sugar combo. Is icing sugar gluten free I havent checked yet, didnt bother icing as they were too sweet. Will try lemon. Thanks

Or even orange juice if you'd rather.

If you use oil rather than marg and give the liquid a good whisk to get a colloidal sol you should also add to the rise.

Your bath sponges probably just needed flavouring, simple sponges rely on the egg and butter to give taste.  If the texture was right keep at it and just taste - there's nothing in the recipe with any flavour

I wouldn't have binned them I'd have poked holes in them, made some lemon syrup and turned them into lemon drizzle cakes

Lardman they were flamming awful. Even with syrup and suitable spoon standing custard these would have been no good. 

[Lardman]

Surely not... but then when things are that bad I do use my 4 legged dustbin

I tried something similiar as Florence can have rice krispies but the dairy free marg stayed too soft so they wouldnt hold together when lifted up.

What recipe do you use.

I don't  just lob it all in.  I would use a couple of tblsp blobs of soya marge, a dollop of syrup and a couple of desert spoons of coca, melt together chuck in krispies.  chuck into cake cases, Bung in fridge.  If you can't wait give the kids a spoon    I've been know to add sprinkles..

Do they hold together mine just stayed broken, no effort to hold its shape at all

Found a biscuit for Harry that works whoop whoop

Star cookies
5oz dairy free margarine
4oz light brown sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
8oz flour   We used Rice flour.

Going to ice them, no sprinkles as they all contain gluten.

Just call me allergy queen. Hehe loving the fact we can roll and cut these into fun shapes. Taste nice too.  happy BQ

[snowdrops]

Look great,what about ready roll icing or make your own & cut into shapes or melt chocolate & make shaving or stamp shapes

[Beetroot Queen]

No chocolate allowed.

The ready roll we had last week had a nut warning but I may check some other brands.

Really pleased with these. May try them with jam in the middle too, like a jammy dodger. 

[snowdrops]

Why no chocolate, dark is dairy free. You used to be able to get chocolate buttons & smarties type ones. Sainsburys have some similar.

[Beetroot Queen]

We looked before, all we checked had soya in.

[snowdrops]

Ah yes of course. Have you looked into chocolats nibs, for making your own chocolate

[Beetroot Queen]

Not too much but its all on my ever growing list lol

[LotuSeed]

Those look delicious. I bet they'd be great with some jam on them !!

Sprinkles.  Everything tastes looks better with sprinkels
