Ice cream and icy treats are such a wonderful invention! Especially for a hot summer day, better than sliced bread in my book, and they keep getting better and better. There are so many inventive ways to make and have them. As the hot season is kicking in, here’s an awesome idea for you to surprise your family with.
Sometimes you feel like experimenting and everything around you just works in your favour. Like neighbours bringing you stuff to work with… This is a must try in your home by the way, most especially if you have kids!

Adding raisins is an easy way to freshen up an old cake recipe. If you have a recipe that you make often and you just want to change things up a bit, throw in a handful of raisins. I do reccomend soaking them in something ahead of time, even if it’s not alcohol, I might even steam them a little, just so they’re not so dry.
I don’t know if I’m ever going to bake that much in one go again but he sure did enjoy having a week of cake with his morning tea, and three to pick from at that!
Next time I plan something like this I’ll se sure to start much earlier in the day. It was a lot of work way into the night but well worth it. We shared some with friends and they really enjoyed it.
