Any good desserts/cakes/sweets?!


Question: Any good desserts/cakes/sweets!?
I've got a couple of Twirl bars, three tubes of Starburst, four tubes of Fruit Pastilles, a bar of dark chocolate, icing sugar, light brown sugar, caster sugar, plain flour, self-raising flour, eggs, milk and various extracts (vanilla, almond and strawberry, I think)!.

So, I can make virtually anything, but that's my problem because I can't find anything that I think everyone in my family will like!. No-one likes cheesecake, very few like meringues and even fewer like mixing fruit with chocolate!.

Oh, and I don't have any more cream, so I can't make a pretty choccy cake as previously planned!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can make some amazing milkshakes

basis=obviously milk

melt in dark chocolate and sugar, and egg for extra richness if you wish and vanilla extract

blend in twix to milk for a thick shake

crumble and sprinkle smarts on top

liquidise fruit pastilles with milk-sounds crazy but also nice

with leftover ingredients, baked a victoria sponge-just use vanilla flavoring and topped with icing sugar, decorate with fruit pastils and smartiesWww@FoodAQ@Com
