I am currently in a baking mood - seems to have lasted a good few weeks now though! - must be something to do with me 'nesting'! I have been making fairy cakes and plain sponge ones are going down very well, I've mastered the mixture and icing etc. However the chocolate chip ones are proving more complicated! It seems that the chips all sink to the bottom of the cakes or the sponge rises over them all? They still taste nice but just arent quite right! I have tried with different chips, smashed up chocolate etc but no luck as of yet. Anyone got any suggestions??!? Thanks. A.

I would be very cautious of this, I have heard similar stories before where they do this but are actually eyeing up what she had in order to come back and burgle, they check out entry routes / security etc - horrible to think the worse but... Definately let the police know and make sure she has secure windows etc. Nice to hear of good neighbourhood watch though!
