When I saw a tweet asking if anyone would like to try out some products from
sugar and crumbs, I leaped at the chance, they are a lovely company offering 100% natural fruit flavoured icing sugar and cocoa powder.
Very quickly I received my lovely tester bag, containing black cherry, coconut and chilli and lime icing sugar and some chocolate coconut cocoa powder alongside some recipe ideas, which are also featured on their very cool
website.
The bag arrived just in time for our pre Christmas bake off!
So we set about making our
coconut mice and also a birthday cake for my best friends birthday. We used black cherry for the mice and coconut for the cake topping but instead of using butter icing I made my favourite whipped cream and icing sugar topping. Which is as simple as folding some icing sugar into double cream and then whipping until it forms peaks. We followed this
recipe for the cake using our Chocolate Coconut cocoa powder and we made a snowball cake, I will point out that the kids were heavily involved in this so the term 'ball' is used loosely, and then smothered it in gorgeous tasting cream topping and sprinkled with coconut.
The coconut mice were so tasty I may (totally did) eat too many of them! The snowball cake, well it may not have looked picture perfect but the coconut flavour really came through and it was delicious, it went down really well!!
The good points
- All natural flavours
- Lots of choice
- A good taste to those we've tried, they actually taste like they are supposed to
- Reasonably priced
Bad Points
- There are so many flavours I want to try them all!!
