Chocolate Ripple Christmas Wreath
You will need to begin this recipe the night before
Whip the cream to soft peaks.
Spread a few tablespoons of whipped cream onto the base of a 26-28cm round serving plate. This will stop your wreath from sliding around.
Dollop 1 flat tbsp of whipped cream onto a biscuit and top with another biscuit. Repeat until you have a stack of 5 biscuits, the top biscuit should not have any cream on top.
Repeat to make 8 stacks of biscuits.
On the prepared serving plate, arrange the biscuit stacks into a wreath shape. Spread the entire biscuit wreath with just enough whipped cream to ensure the biscuits are covered on top and around the sides. Refrigerate overnight, reserving remaining whipped cream.
When ready to serve, spread remaining whipped cream around the wreath. Decorate with dried fruit and nuts.
Carrot & Walnut Cake Cupcakes
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
Whisk together your plain flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon
In a separate bowl, mix your wet ingredients, milk, white vinegar, vegetable oil, eggs and brown sugar
Once your wet ingredients are well combined, stir in your carrots, shredded coconut, pineapple, walnuts and raisins.
Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
Fill your muffin tins with your patty pans and then with a spoon or a lever ice cream scoop, fill them to the top.
Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Let cool completely before decorating with meringue.
Once your muffins are cool you can start on your meringue. Mix your egg whites and caster sugar together in a bowl over a pot of water on the stove. Once the heat from the pot has dissolved the sugar in your egg whites, put your bowl on your electric mixer and whisk until stiff peaks.
Using a piping bag or a large ziplock bag with the corner cut off, pipe the top of your muffins in any shape you like. If you have a blow torch, give them some colour, or leave them natural and decorate with your favourite easter eggs.
