Worth bumping.

Don't forget to make things that are moist, but not too sweet, such as apple shortcake. and some savoury "gut-fillers" like bacon and egg pie or a sausage-meatbased pie. anything that can be eaten in the hand, with a huge cuppa in the other. Shearing is VERY thirsty work!

Vanilla Cupcake

makes about 30

415g plain flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
230g unsalted butter, softened
330g sugar
15ml vanilla essence
4 eggs
250ml milk

- Preheat oven to 170degC.
- Line two-and-a-half 12-hole muffin trays with cupcake papers.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl to aerate and combine. Set aside until required.
- In a large bowl use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to beat butter for about 2 minutes until creamy.
- Add sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl once or twice. This will take about 3 minutes.
- Beat in vanilla essence. Add eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beating after each addition.
- Add the flour mixture in 4 additions, alternately with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, and beat briefly until smooth on low speed after each addition.
- Divide batter evenly between the cupcake papers.
- Bake for about 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centres shows a few moist crumbs. (The centres should also spring back when lightly pressed.) The cupcakes might colour a bit around the edges, but they will not brown.
- Cool cupcakes in the muffin trays for 5 minutes before removing the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.

Vanilla Frosting
200g unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla essence
8 cups icing sugar, sifted

- Cream the butter for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the milk, vanilla and half the icing sugar.
- Beat for at least 3 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the remaining icing sugar and beat for a further 3 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy and of a spreadable consistency.
- If the mixture is too dry add extra milk and if the mixture is too wet add extra icing sugar.
- If you wish to colour and/or flavour the buttercream then this is the time to do it. Add a drop at a time until you reach the desired colour and/or flavour.

Other things you'll need
Flaked coconut
Marshmallows
M & Ms
Licorice
Assorted lollies such as jelly beans and mint leaves

Beat together to a smooth consistency add icing sugar approx 4 cups - beat until smooth you can add more icing sugar as you go this will increase the volume of your icing.

Just a silly question, I know you can freeze biscuits, but at which stage? when they are cooked or when they are ready to be baked? AND what is the best way to pack them for freezing?

Thanks
