"So quick & easy, I also stuck frozen rasps in & it turned out great. This has become my quick no fuss dessert whenever I have visitors"

"This is one of my husbands favourite dishes. It's surprisingly easy to make and tastes fantastic. One pot so little washing up! "

"I made this for my wedding cake. The small cake turned out great but I had to make 2 of the large cakes as the first one needed more time in the oven. The chocolate moddeling paste was difficult to work with, not sure what I did wrong but it was fairly solid with a lot of liquid lying in the bowl. poured out the liquid, microwaved it for 30 seconds and it was a lot easier to use. I had a cake board on both tiers then used dowling rods to stop the top cake sinking into the bottom one. The cake itself tasted fantastic but be careful not to over mix it or a lot of the air is lost and it wont rise very well. The flavour got better each day as the flavours merged together. Red currents weren't in season so we used raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and some brambles. All in all it was a stunning centre piece and was admired and enjoyed by everyone :)"

"Very easy to make, this is the first time I've tried the lentils and they went so well in this salad, lots of texture & flavour."

"This is one of the best cakes I've made with fresh soft fruit. The raspberries gave a really nice tartness to the sweet almond flavour. The combination really works and was enjoyed by everyone who tried it. :)"
