Simple sandwiches are always good. Just ham and tomato, chicken, mayo and corn....cut into little tringles with the crusts off of course! Cobb loaf dips are always yummo and pretty simple. Mini pizzas for something a bit more 'meal-ish'. Homemade mini sausage rolls or quiches. Mmmm, yum! I'm making myself hungry!
For the topping:
Dark chocolate
Red fondant icing
Green fondant icing
cream the butter and sugar
sift the dry ingredients together
in a separate bowl whisk the eggs and combine with vanilla
Blend the egg into the butter/sugar then fold in the dry ingredients, with some milk if it is too dry
divide into cupcake wrappers and Bake for 12-15mins at 180°c.
When the cakes are cool use the fondant icing to make mini red chillis to go on top of the cakes. Stick them to the cakes with melted dark chocolate.
Leek & Brie Tarts. Make tart bases in patty cases out of puff pastry circles (about 6cm cutter) then blind bake (stab with fork) at 200 for about 10 mins (or until puffed but not golden). Top with cooked leek mix (fry leek, garlic, salt & pepper) and then a slice of brie, put back in the oven (reduced to 180) and bake till golden and bubbly. Everyone loves these
Ahh, my head is exploding with all these awesome ideas!! Thanks so much, ladies, I knew you'd save me
Traveller... well, what can I say?! I'm LOVING this recipe, I'm off to get ingredients for it tomorrow! How perfect!
And then to sort through the rest of these ideas and pick the ones that will suit me best... they are all wonderful, thanks again
At a friend's recently, she made dip by mixing the dry french onion soup mix with some cream cheese (philly, maybe a tub?), and it was soo yummy! I couldn't stop eating it!
great ideas already
my fave is goergeous mini sandwiches.
- ham mustard and cheese
- cucumber and mayo
- tuna and mayo
- turkey, brie and cranberry sauce
- lettuce, tomato and cheese
experiment with bread too and cut of the crusts
also i love nothing more than a plate of fresh berries with some toothpicks to stab so strawberry, blue berries, raspberries etccc
meat balls supperrr easy go to your butcher buy some hamburgers rip them up roll into balls and pan fry to they are crispy and yummy as! also if your butcher has some thai chicken patties to the same thing
Cob loaf dip ... very yummy. If you need/want a good recipe, I have a great one that is always a hit.
Bruschetta - really simple:
Dice a red onion, 2 ripe tomatoes, stir through a teaspoon of crushed garlic, a tablespoon of good olive oil and a handful of chopped basil. Toast a french breadstick cut into 1cm thick slices and sprayed with olive oil. I am really lazy with this next bit ... I put it on the table seperately and people can come past and put their own tomato mix on the bread (so the bread doesn't go soggy) and I have a bottle of balsamic vinegar that people can drizzle over the top as well. I do this for picnics too ... really easy stuff.
I am loving some of these ideas! Hope you enjoy the cupcakes, they look amazing and have a gorgeous flavour that is different to usual cakes and great for those without a full on sweet tooth
