Mini Butterfly Cakes
Butterfly cakes are a big favourite in my house. We like to make them
together as a family and put different colour icing in to make the
butterflies more pretty.
4oz/100g caster sugar
4oz/110g soft margarine
2 eggs
4oz/100g self raisning flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
For the icing
6oz/175g butter
12oz/350g icing sugar
food colouring of your choice.
Pre-heat oven to 200°c/400°f/gas 6
Place your paper cases into a bun tin.
Measure all the ingredients into mixing bowl and mix for 2/3 minutes until
the mixture is smooth.
Half fill the paper cases with the mixture.
Bake in the oven for 15/20 minutes until well risen and golden.
Lift your cakes out onto a wire rack to cool.
To make the icing put butter and icing sugar into mixer and mix until well
blended.
Add food colouring of your choice and mix well in.
Cut a slice from the top of each cake and cut this slice in half to make the
wings.
Place some butter cream into the centre of each cake and place the half
slices into the butter cream at an angle to look like the wings.
Sprinkle with icing sugar or if like us you are chocoholics drizzle melted
choc onto the wings.

 Joy of Cooking recipes are still some of the most popular throughout the whole of America. The book "Joy of Cooking" was first released way back in 1931 by Irma Rombauer and since then it has been updated many times. It is one of the most talked about cookbooks because its recipes are easy to make and simple to follow. It has many sections which other cookbooks just don't deal with.

 While I do not currently work outside of the home, I remember well the days not so long ago when I juggled the responsibilities of job and family. The worst of course was the years that I managed as a single mum; having to do it all...alone. There were some tricks I learned then. And the value of lasagne was one of those lessons.

 Pasta salad is one of the few foods that can be eaten as a side dish or as a main course. Countless recipes call for any number of ingredients to produce a variety of flavorful salads, each with its own special taste. Some recipes call for vinaigrette dressings, while others call for creamy mayonnaise or milkbased sauces. Most any type of pasta can be used in a salad, and nearly every vegetable can complement the other ingredients in the dish. Its diverse nature and allaround appeal makes pasta salad a great addition to any gathering or family meal at home.
