"I adapted this one with wheat-free flour & soya cream cheese & they were just to die for. They are exactly whay I need for our 20th wedding anniversary party this autumn. The method is very easy - I think it would be a good one to do when we're away camping. "

"I made 13 of these little cakes for my friend and spelt out \'Happy Birthday\' with them. They were really tasty and everyone at work really enjoyed the leftovers!"
