kob - could you elaborate further please? I was headhunted out of this thread a long time ago when I tried to say that there is something like copyright ... . However with the advent of votemenot the whole affair is getting beyond ridiculous anyway. So I am not here very often anymore. Would like to know what happened kob to make you change your mind so completely. Thanks!

Orange and Carrot Cake cont. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until well risen and firm to the touch. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, and then turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely. For the icing: 175gms cream cheese, 200gms(11/4 cups) icing sugar, sifted, orange rind, cut into julienne strips. Put the cream cheese, icing sugar and 1-teaspoon water into a bowl and beat together until smooth. Spread the icing over the top and sides of the cake.

Hey all :-)I'm still formatting Volume 3, but now with the new look messageboards, it's going to cause grief because I used the posting numbers as a guide of where I was up to. Without the numbers, I have a problem :-(I'm sure I'll work something out. Be patient, I don't have a lot of spare time and the re-formatting is a labour-intensive and incredibly boring task!

Check Uli's thread in trade me discussion on the message board.
Cheers.
