A huge amount. This recipe sounds perfect for helping me use up this cake. Your battenberg looked great but I had trouble with my homemade marzipan too. If I can get a decent photo I may blog it but in the meantime I shall be thinking which liqueur is best to make these truffles!Hazel - Chicken in a Cherry Saucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657763318493624788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-2928778973667074242013-03-16T11:23:16.330+00:002013-03-16T11:23:16.330+00:00My Daughter introduced me to cake pops.

Does the freezing help. If I coated the truffle in cocoa would it give something for the choc to stick too ? Advice would be appreciated xx Mark Whittakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393630864920853593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-67212880800737405882011-05-07T18:50:35.076+01:002011-05-07T18:50:35.076+01:00I am so stealing your rhubarb idea!

Basically bunged some chopped rhubarb in a large jar with a sealable lid, put in a bit of sugar and topped up with vodka. Then left for a year.<br /><br />Dom - so glad you said what you did about the cake pops - I have wondered why? See above for rhubarb liqueur.<br /><br />Kath - thank you, so glad you've got faith in me - confidence usually needs a boost.<br /><br />James - thank you. Good to hear you say that. I prefer the home made look, but there are so many amazingly profesional looking creations out there, I do feel sometimes undermined.
