I've done two panda bears using this pan. I think at least one of them is in my photos here on CC. Hope this helps icon_smile.gif

Thanks Evoir I found it. It is amazing as are all your cakes! Just one question Cherry ripe cake? I live in the UK but my friend grew up in Austraila and she's mentioned Cherry ripe- I thought it was a kind of sweet. Do you have a recipe for this as it might be cool to make her a cake for her next Birthday to remind her of Aus

Not sure until i go to the post office. I will let you know once i've been tomorrow or monday. Its only charged on items purchased outside UK  for goods valued at over £9 I only paid £16 approx $25 so d't think it will be much. I hope not as the postage was £30 approx $46

Customs charge was nearly £18 !! OMG more than i actually paid for the pans let alone the postage! I will be contacting customs as its ridiculous!! Be careful all you UK bakers buying stuff online from outside the EU, factor in the customs charges.

Check what was listed as the value on the customs forms, it may be wrong. My sister has successfully appealed the charge before on something where they listed a much higher price on there.

Thats the worst thing the price was listed correctly as $24.99 which is just under £17 and it cost me £18 customs charges! I intend to appeal though.

A friend of mine here got a hamper from Fortnum & Mason sent over as a gift, she had to pay $80 in taxes to pick up a gift! She actually got the bill after they had delivered it, so she's contesting it saying she wouldn't have picked it up if she'd known.

Yes, cherry ripes are a dark chocolate bar, filled with glace cherries and coconut. I don't use a specific recipe, but if you use a general dark chocolate mud cake recipe and substitute coconut milk/cream for the milk in the recipe and then add in chopped Cherry Ripe bars (around 160 grams for a 8" round for example), you'll have essentially the same thing!

I hate cherries!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Third time's a charm! 

I would rather make 1 cake for $150, than 3 for $50 each.

The person who works for nothing will always have plenty to do!

My sarcasm is good-humored. People generally really like me, in person ;-)

 I dont think we can get those bars in the UK which is weird cos they're now made by Cadburys( been doing my research which was until recently a UK firm(not without  paying a fortune from specialist site) and it sounds like you need quite a few bars. Could i just use chopped cherries, coconut and chocolate?
