Christmas pudding ice cream? Never heard of that!  :blink:

HLS......I use heated up apricot jam to stick almond paste onto cakes.

Home made almond paste is far nicer than shop bought marzipan, but you have to leave it to dry out longer on the cake before you ice it or the oil from the nuts seeps through the icing..... oh and I use merri white (sp?) for making icing.
oww Janet you dont know what your missing :D...my oh bought it in the january supermarket clearouts...yummy....even better than ben and jerrys :D

Riala - if you need tins for the small round cakes I know my sister who bakes for all of us uses small baked beans tins (without the beans of course) to bake them in not sure of cooking time though. :)

I know Aldi do their baking  ingredients really cheap, I always buy my flour, sugar, sultanas etc. from there.

Wonderful idea!

We do not eat out of many tins to be honest (we try to eat fresh foods) but I am sure I can start saving :D

It is so much easier to make a large square cake and then cut it into 8 loaf tin/brick shapes. Then marzipan and ice and wrap in cellophane. I used an 8" sqare tin and the cakes were big enough for gifts to people on their own.

I made some Christmas pudding ice-cream last yr but it wasn't really worth the effort.  It would have been just as good to eat the left over pud with some vanilla ice-cream, same taste.
