Mango and Coconut Muesli Bars - Gluten and Dairy Free of course!

Pretty quick and easy snack recipe today. I use these for both breakfast on the run and quick snacks on my breaks at work.
You can vary the ingredients in this recipe to follow pretty much any combination of nut, seeds, cereals and fruit.

The basic recipe is:

11 cups dry ingredients 

200g fat (I used Olivani)

2c sugar syrup 

(Honey, Golden syrup, Agave, Glucose Syrup or Homemade simple syrup all work well)

It's Been a While

BAD BLOGGER!!

I know I have been putting off posting more on this site, mostly because it adds more time to my baking process with all the taking photos etc..

I solemnly swear I will post at least once a fortnight for the next year.

Alrighty, now that's over with time to let everyone know what's to come:

• I have been asked to do the cake for a friend's wedding so how to's for different bits of that will come
• I have been experimenting with more frosting recipes and have found one that is both delicious, not too sweet and dairy free so recipe to come
• I have also been experimenting with a few different cake recipes that stand up better to being in a large cake so again, recipes to come

Talk again next week  :)

Cupcake Papers

I mostly use the plain chocolate, white or silver foil cupcake papers when I just want to whip up a quick batch, mostly because they don't have any kind of pattern that might "cook out" but sometimes I see a pack of adorable or funky cases and just can't resist. I start having decorating ideas for how I could match frosting and topping to the papers and before I know it, I own 4 entire jars. It's a disease, I am aware.
The thing about the cute designs on the cases is that they tend to kind of dissolve into the cupcake batter while it's cooking. To stop this from happening there are 3, yes 3 solutions.
