I once made three in one evening for various cake stalls - two for Nick to take to his work and one for me to take to mine for "Children in need". One of Nick's disappeared for the princely sum of £25 as soon as the lid came off the box - one of the cleaning ladies bought it for her and her mates !!<br /><br />Mind you, I did see a recipe for gingerbread Guinness cupcakes in the book "Tea with Bea" which I am dying to try one day !!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-32356019897658721702012-08-12T19:54:51.051+01:002012-08-12T19:54:51.051+01:00This is one of my favourite recipes and a popular ...This is one of my favourite recipes and a popular request from friends and family.

Sour cream has a much lower fat content (20% fat), and often thickeners and added acids in addition to the lactic bacteria. Creme fraiche just has lactic bacteria and min 30% fat.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.com
