  17. I went to Middle Road outlet. Do you need to grease the cases or just pour the batter straight into the cases and bake. I must go and check out again.

  18. chris there's no need to grease the casing the cake tend to pulls away from the casing after cooling.

  19. Mmmm....these cheesecakes look really really yummy!! Especially with the blueberry one top- and I love your cup cake cases =) I've never tried baking whilst being sleepy before- for me, that would be highly dangerous because I'm so clumsy I need all the concentration I have to prevent me burning and cutting myself up when I'm in the kitchen! =)

  28. Hey, I found the cases at PH last week end. You didnt use melted butter to mix the crushed biscuits, will it stick? I must try this out?

    ReplyDelete
  29. you finally got them! they will stick partially if not you can use your own method and mix the melted butter to the crushed biscuits!
