panad
What variety of pie is that OS? I made a coffee date cake the other day - essentially a sticky toffee cake but instead of soaking the dates in hot water you soak them in espresso. I don’t like coffee cake, but this is gorgeous! |

That sounds nice panad. I’m guessing a little less sweet?

Beef and Mushroom. Lots of Mushroom the pastry has butter in it. My buns lack a bit of shape and a X but they smell great. |

They look tasty OH messed up my cake timer so it's a bit too fudgy in the middle. I haven't had any yet but LittleD liked it. You can't taste the coffee at all but I think it stops the choc being too sweet |

Little Miss Happy yes it is less sweet, though i always reduce sugar content anyway as i just don’t like things that are too sweet - unfortunately i always forget and get a shock if i have cake or puddings out! OS those look great as well :-D |

They're orangey lots of zest. Poor shape but it was a very sticky dough. My piping was rubbish but it was too thin...Next time...

Me too panad. I find you can take out up to 25% of the sugar in most recipes without detriment though it's taken a while for my husband's taste buds to adjust. Strangely enough I seem to cope well enough if I have something whilst out.  That's good Linds. It's the taste that counts OS. Trying to decide what/if to bake for my birthday. It may be a PBJ cake. Shouldn't be able to go wrong with PB.

I leave out anything up to half the sugar in most recipes. Could explain why I’m terrible at brownies though - the sugar creates the texture. In other news I made a lovely tea loaf today. Might have a slice right now.
