Mr Nooks can make a mean carrot cake! I don't know his recipe though. And he has to omit the walnuts cos I'm allergic to them. I like to make anything with condensed milk in so I can eat the condensed milk while I'm baking! I am such a sweet tooth @outlander and I'm really bad at making dinners but I cook anyway and Mr Nooks eats what ever I give him and pretends it's nice ha ha.

Ooh have you made chocolate balls @Former-Member? If not i can give you the recipie its super simple.
Haha im.sure your cooking not that bad

[Former-Member]

No I've not made choc balls but they sound good! I made a pasta sauce to go with some store bought ravioli the other night and Mr nooks thought I'd bought the sauce out of a jar and he told me not to buy it again because it's not very nice 😂 Lucky I don't take offence!! What's your specialty thing you can make @outlander?

[outlander]

Haha lol @Former-Member

Ill post the recipie to the chocolate balls later they are super easy to make.

Im making a carrot cake now then trying my hand at a red velvet cake.

My specialities are more desert style things but i seem to be good at cakes cookies and brownies the best

Me too! Although my banana cake was a bit of a fail... crunchy on top and sloppy on the inside... Mr Nooks ate it with a spoon and some ice cream, bless him! Red velvet cake is so good. A lady at my work made red velvet cake pops - she said you make the cake and then blend it with some icing to make it a bit doughy, then roll into balls and poke a skewer in and dip in white chocolate. Honestly; so bloody delicious! @outlander looking forward to the choc balls recipe!

[outlander]

Oh god bless mr nooks what a sweetie @Former-Member
Ive made banana cake before but it turned out a bit dry
Ooh Yum! I want some of those cake pops!

[outlander]

@eth @Former-Member @Former-Member @Queenie yay!!! Carrot cake is a SUCCESS!!!
Its super moist and cooked perfectly and the icing is spot on!!

[Former-Member]

Wow you are making the whole lot tonight?! Haha you are on a roll. You gonna eat it all? I want some! Did you make cream cheese icing? I looooove that. I am making some roast potatos and carrot and chicken Kiev (from the freezer) for Mr Nooks when he gets home @outlander
