Dear Home Industry MemberPublic holidays and long weekends mean families and friends getting together and enjoying good food and relaxing times. This gives Home Industries and morning markets a great opportunity to maximise sales. With so many pubic holidays coming up, what better time to get creative with baking, handy crafts with fun themes.

In this issue we’ve got some great ideas for all the special celebrations ahead, whether it is treats for the Easter holidays or exciting suggestions for Mother’s Day in May and Father’s Day in June.

We’re always looking for attractive and eye-catching ways to present homemade goods. One of the latest on-trend ideas is using jars to serve up anything from soups to salads and desserts. It could be a new way to highlight your goods that are suitable for picnics, braais on the beach, or even padkos! Customers are always on the lookout for something different at morning markets and this would certainly have the wow factor. We hope our puddings in a jar on p. 42 will get you thinking about lots more ideas.

For a more elegant tea time treat our cupcakes with lime zest and roasted coconut shards on p. 40 are sure to be a popular offering.

Chocolate cake is a timeless classic and always a winner however you serve it. Our guest baker, Herman Lensing, is a well known food editor and is the author of ‘Voorskoot’. We asked him to share some of his cake decorating secrets with us and I am sure you will all love the four beautiful cakes on p.10-13, which he did specially for you, dear readers. And talking of cakes, the jazzy, three layer, checkerboard cake on p. 14 is much easier to make than it looks, so why not give it a try?

Birthdays are always a reason to celebrate. The Innibos festival, held every year in Nelspruit, recently celebrated its 10th birthday. Huletts helped to make this an extra special event, with Helmi du Plessis from Nelspruit creating magical boxed cakes, using Huletts’ handy boxes.

Tuismark Home Industry shop in Northcliff is not quite a teenager any more. They have just celebrated their 33rd birthday! What an achievement. Their shop is always a delight to visit and their goodies are always irresistible.

Inspired by the beautiful shapes and colours of the autumn leaves covering our gardens and roads, don’t miss our lovely, dainty spicy biscuits on p. 44. If your shop also offers coffee and tea to customers make sure that you include a leaf biscuit to make them feel special.

MeThODCandied orange sliCes:Slice the oranges into thin rounds, discarding the ends of the orange.Place the castor sugar and the water in a heavy-based pan over medium heat while stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and add the orange slices, simmer for 15-20, turning halfway. The

slices must be soft but must still be firm and retain their shape. Remove from syrup and place in a single layer on a wire rack. Discard the syrup.

orange syrup:Place the sugar, orange juice and water in a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until the syrup has slightly thickened. Set aside to cool.

Cake:Preheat the oven to 180ºC.Line the base and sides of a 23cm round cake pan with non-stick baking paper. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl, add the almonds and mix in. In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar, orange juice, zest, yoghurt, eggs and vanilla together. Gradually add the dry ingredients and whisk to form a smooth batter. Lastly fold in the oil. Pour into the pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the cake is golden and firm and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Pierce the top of the cake with a skewer and pour over 6 tbsp of the orange syrup, reserving the rest. Arrange the orange slices on the top of the cake, just before serving, pour the remaining syrup over.

Using a 1 cm sharp edged nozzle, ice the bottom half of the cake with vanilla icing. Ice the top half of the cake with chocolate icing. Use a palate knife to smooth the icings. To make the spreading of the icing easier, the palate knife can be dipped in hot water and wiped before using. The two icings will flow into each other and create an ombre look.

Ombre cakeUse a 1cm sharp edged nozzle and icing alternately vanilla and chocolate drops on the cake. Use the back of a teaspoon to carefully flatten the point of the drop so that it resembles teardrops.

TEARDROPS

Use a 2 cm diameter rose nozzle (this is a flattish nozzle) and pipe chocolate and vanilla icing alternately on the cake. To create a ruffle effect place the nozzle on its side against the cake. Whilst you are piping move the nozzle from left to right so that the icings fall on to each other and thus forming the pattern. Cover the sides of the cake with this icing.

Best-ever bAnOffee PieingreDienTsIngredientsBiscuit base75g butter300g chocolate oat biscuitsToffee filling115g butter115g (160ml) Huletts Treacle Sugar1 x 397g can sweetened condensed milk

topping: 50mI fresh cream5 ripe but firm medium bananas5ml lemon juice25g plain dark chocolate, coarsely grated, or chocolate curls

MeThODTo make the crust: Melt the butter in a small pan. Break the biscuits into chunky pieces and blitz them to crumbs in a food processor. Tip the crumbs into a bowl and stir in the melted butter. Tip the mixture into the centre of a 23cm round x 4cm deep loose based tart pan and press it firmly into the base and up the sides. Make sure the mix is evenly distributed, especially where the base meets the sides. Chill for 30 minutes until set.

to make the FiLLing: Melt the butter in a pan and stir in the

sugar. Cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved. Add the condensed milk and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until the mixture turns a deep, creamy caramel brown. Pour the toffee gently onto the biscuit base and quickly smooth over the surface. Leave to chill for at least 1 hour (up to 8 hours) before topping.Remove from the pan (this is easier if left at room temperature briefly). Just before serving, lightly whip the cream. It should stand in very soft peaks (any thicker and it will look over-whipped when mixed with the bananas). Diagonally slice 4 bananas and scatter half over the toffee. Fold the rest lightly into the cream and spoon gently on top. Slice the remaining banana and put it in a bowl with the lemon juice. Toss very gently - this will stop the banana turning brown. Decorate the top with the lemony banana slices, poking them into the cream randomly and then sprinkle on the grated chocolate.
