Fabric Of The Week Competition

We were running a "guess the fabric of the week" competition on facebook but we were unaware that facebook wont allow this type of thing without their prior written approval...

So...we're running it here instead. ;o)

We are giving away a $15 voucher!! All you need to do is guess the fabric of the week and if you guess it you win the voucher. That sounds easy, but there are sooo many fabrics to choose from and only one is the "fabric of the week" and only we know which one it is...yes, it is a bit of a guessing game but it's all in good fun so guess away...

Just comment your answer down the bottom... ;o)

Super Easy Pavlova

I'm not exactly a pro in the kitchen, I have very little patience for these things. My cakes generally taste good but look like a bomb has hit them...oops.

But a friend gave me below recipe and I tried it and it turned out stunningly. It's soo easy, I always thought pavs were tricky...but not this one and I'm allowed to share it with you..

The other thing I figured is that it's super cheap. I mean think about it...the below ingredients would barely add up to $1.50. Cream works out to be about $1.60 per bottle (PaknSave) so I think for $3 or so you'd have yourself a cheap dessert. Of course chocolate, fruit etc will add a few extra cents but still...cheap!! A normal cake would work out much dearer, especially the ones with lots of butter.

2 egg whites
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp cornflour
1 tsp vinegar
4 tablespoons hot water
1/2 tsp vanilla


Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix on high speed for 15 minutes (keep an eye on your mixer so it doesn't overheat).
Prepare baking paper on tray and spread mixture on a 20cm circle.
Bake at 180C for 10 minutes
Reduce heat to 150C for 50 minutes

Remember to NOT open the door once it's in there and once it's finished leave the over door closed til it's stone cold. The take it out and decorate with cream, fruit, chocolate...be creative!!

Below is my attempt.

New Fabrics!

Yay, another shipment arrived and most of them are already in the shop, all ready for someone to chop them lovingly into pieces and make something delicious out of. In a nice way of course.
