    Panda - trouble being quiet in the office is that I come up with big ideas and that usually involves landing myself with more work to do at home!

    KEF - just pop it over I'll do all the ironing with mine on Sunday night if you like. By the time I've zoned out doing the shirts and bed sheets I'm sure I wont notice moving on to yours!

    OL - replied! image

     My trouble is that even making small batches the cakes never last that long! At least these are individually wrapped so I can't use the excuse "they'll do dry!"

     

    I bake large amounts and freeze in individual pieces. Everything from quiche to chocolate cake! The freezer is my best friendimage

    Thanks for the toms advice Dove and others. Will do the same image

    Wintersong - I've frozen quiche before but I've never realised you can freeze cake!? Is it only certain types or will most cakes freeze? My freezer is far too small I keep getting tempted to buy a little chest freezer to put in my shed so I can make huge batches of soups and pasta sauces should I get a good harvest / deal at Tesco! My partners parents have a second freezer for when there's a big event (i.e. Christmas) or they've raided Aldi and it always seems such a great idea.

    Yep. I freeze cake, scones, bread, pastries, pizzas, quiche, pies, in pieces or small sized. Everything is already cooked and cooled down and gets defrosted in the microwave or warmed up in the oven as appropriate. image

    OL. I'll check in a minute and ping you something back if I did.

     

    Have everyone heard? Its Word Garden Naked Day tomorrow.

    So that explains why the weather forecasters are talking about frosts.
