[craziehazie]

(SMILE)
Hi, Can anyone supply me with quick and easy traybake recipies for my church fund raising sale next Saturday morning. Am required to supply some cakes, scones and traybakes. Can do the rest but are there any recipies for a quick and easy traybake, or something different, also any foolproof method of making caramel squares??? Mine ar either too soft and runny or burnt!! Many thanks. Look forward to trying out your recipie suggestions......
Many

just do a normal bun mixture in a tray and then ice it and add sprinkles?
or a shortbread or biscuit base with a mint icing then covered in dark chocolate?
You could even do a rice crispy cake in a tray

Top hats are quick and easy - just need cooking chocolate, marshmallows, smarties and mini cake cases. Melt choclate add small ammount to each cake case add a marshmallow (bigger end down), blob of cooking choclate on top to stick a smartie down.

what about flap jacks?

I made some Dream Bars from Nigella's How to be a Domestic Goddess when I had a houseful on Monday, easy to make and were wolfed down. Basically a shortbread base with a sticky nut and coconut topping.

Or how about brownies easy to make and totally delicious.

Ooh, you need MarsLady's famous lemon drizzle cake recipe!

This is utterly fab:

1 packet digestives, crushed
1/2 lb butter
6 oz golden syrup
4 oz caster sugar
3 oz cocoa powder
black cherries (if wanted)
pistachio nuts (if wanted)
large sweet raisins
to cover: dark chocolate

Melt and mix butter, syrup, sugar and cocoa, and mix with all other ingredients. Turn into a baking tin and refrigerate. When cool, cover with melted dark chocolate and refrigerate again.

...but you know, it's too good for a church sale. Just make it and eat it yourself! Hope the day goes well.

if you don't have all the ingredients use other nuts, I tend to just use what I have in cupbard. If I don't have light muscavdo sugar I use another light brown sugar or use all caster.

Brilliant, am going down to Tescos now to try this out this evening, sounds fab, will let you know how it turns out...many thanks

how did the lemon drizzle turn out?

Absolutely brilliant!!. Will be making 4 batches of these for my sale on Saturday, thanks for the fab recipe. The Dream Bars were lovely too, and am going to include these as well. I always find that something neww sells well at the church sale. Thanks again to all who posted recipies....

Hi everyone, Had an absolutely fab cake sale on Sat morning, my cakes almost all sold ( the kids were glad to see a few back) and the entire sale achieved the amazing sum of £691.00. So sincere thanks to Marslady and Twinsetandpearls for their recipes, which went a bomb..Thanks....

Mars lady your lemon drizzle is divine, we did a variation on the theme and it was truley scrumotious!!
Omit the lemon and grate in some chocolate instead, then ice/drizzle with cocoa disolved in boilingwater and icing sugar and drizzle!! You end up with a marbled cake and it is really nice!
You could use orange rind and juice too even add the chocolate to the orange juice...mmmmmmm off to bake again!!!

Well done with the sale by the way!

Glad to be off help!

You're welcome

Will try the chocolate and chocolate orange versions as well.

What size tin do you use the lemon tray bake?

Highlight:I just use a large roasting tin. If you use a smaller one then the cake will be deeper. Just use what you have.

Hausfrau: I also think that my lemon drizzle should be your signature cake. It works every time and people love it!

mmmmm how scrummy do they sound
