Hooked on cooking – having a party?

We're now three weeks in to “hooked on cooking” and I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that you've had a surprise or two and you now having budding “cheflets” eager and raring to attack the next challenge.

Will you be having a summer get together/party/BBQ – any or all of the above?

I know that lots of people bring desserts on such occasions, but I have an idea that your cheflets might like.

This might take a little organisation ahead of the game but nothing that will be difficult to get hold of, nor cost a lot of dosh!

Do you have a table going spare – it can be as big as you like – you'll see what I mean shortly.

First up, here's your shopping list :

Next time you're in the supermarket/cheap shop pick up a paper table cloth – the stronger the better, you don't want the sort you can see through, it'll just fall apart and won't be suitable for the purpose I have in mind.

Pick up three or four squeezy bottles – like the ones illustrated below.



As illustrated these are really handy for a drizzle of whatever takes your fancy.

To continue with your shopping list :

Cake boards - £1 each – square or circular, depending on the shape of your table. If you have four cheflets creating, then one each.

Marzipan – one 500g block should be sufficient, preferably the golden kind – to be divided between 4.

Desiccated coconut, green food colouring and 4 ziplok bags.

Pack of 4 large chocolate muffins and 4 food bags.

1 bag of white mini marshmallows.

1 can of Carnation cook with caramel.

4 small (cheap and cheerful) paintbrushes suitable for children.

Whilst not compulsory you might want to make sure you've the ingredients to make Rocky Road and Malteser Cake.

Okey dokey, lets get on with the masterpiece!
