Shortbread Base Banoffee Pie
Recipe by:
Samantha
I prefer to make a shortbread base rather than use digestive biscuits - it tastes a little richer. But the choice is yours. Either way, this is a great dessert for a crowd.
Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Icing
Recipe by:
Anne Brothers & Rick Smetzer
This is an alternative to the classic cream cheese frosting recipe, using brown sugar and honey instead of icing sugar. My Husband and I use it on Banana or Carrot Cake.
Fizzing ice cubes
This is delicious for a party because all you need is apple juice and lemonade or sparkling water, and of course, an ice cube tray :P
Baby BLTs

CATMANIACS
These little nibbles feature cherry tomatoes stuffed with a cool mixture of mayo, bacon and spring onion. They look great arranged on a platter of rocket.

Berry Punch used at all my family occasions along with many other punches but this one is my personal favourite. If you like it sweeter you can add sugar or maple syrup, but the sherbet adds the sweetness kick for me, there is never a drop left in our house!

For adults only! These are really quite refreshing to end a meal. Use any sparkling wine or champagne to suit your budget, they will still be fun to make.

White Christmas

Copha is the brand name of a form of solid vegetable fat made from hydrogenated coconut oil. You can find it in specialty shops and online.
Seafood Sauce

Litter Box Cake
Recipe by:
Dee
A fantastic cake to serve at Halloween. You will need a new cat litter box, liner and scoop for the full gruesome effect. The cake is delicious, that is, if you can get over the initial thought of eating from a dirty litter box.
