Hi Rachael-Honestly it doesn’t require much dexterity, just the right tools. I’m frightfully clumsy myself and shy away from delicate tasks

Hi Maria-I’ve become an event addict I think!

I wonder if my tahini is off? I’ll ask my tahini loving family in law to try some this weekend. My husband hates it so his try of it was so miniscule that I wondered if he got a good taste. I usually love sesame flavoured anything so it’s odd. Hmmm interesting that you’ve used it successfully as a substitute for sesame oil!

So far I’ve entered 4 challenges and no wins yet The competition is rather stiff though and believe me, I’d be rather happy if I won and would definitely post about it!

You’re a genius Lorraine.. and so industrious entering all of these baking challenges!!

I’m not as put-off by tahini.. I need it for a Hommus recipe from Dr Sandra Cabot’s Body Shaping Diet (the hommus recipe in her Liver Cleansing diet book isn’t as good).

I’ve sometimes used half a teaspoon of tahini in salad dressings and it adds the sesame flavour without bitterness. And I think I’ve added it to fish cake or fish/noodle ball recipes too.. as an alternative to sesame oil and it’s been good.

I hope you win your challenges.. you would tell us wouldn’t you? Have you won before and what are the prizes that you’ve won.. assuming you’ve won?

Well done, again, brilliant cupcakes

Those are so cute! I wish I had those kind of non-clumsy baking skillz. I would just muck it all up. I would be good at eating them though…

Hi airy fairy-Thankyou! I was all baked out after this as I spent all of Saturday doing this so I figured I should get two events out of this
