Please help me prove him wrong....hehe

[angel2211]

I'm a newbie here and have decided to start with M&P I found the recipe i've added below, and proudly explained to my husband that I would one day make it. He laughed in my face as soon as he looked at it.. And said "yeah right you can't even cook cake you expect to make that" and kept laughing.

If there is one thing you don't do to me is tell me i can't do it... any advice on how i could make this considering i am a complete newbie. I need to prove him wrong....lol

I know it's a HUGE BIG ask, and I probably am taking on more then i could handle but any help would be great:o I've attached a pic of how it's "suppose" to look.

Chocolate Heaven Gateaux

Ingredients

1.25 kg clear soap base

0.75kg white soap base

1 cup porridge oats

1.5 tbsp powdered goats milk

2 tbspoons cocoa powder

2 Cadbury Flake bars

10 ml chocolate fragrance oil

1 tbsp honey

2 drops yellow food colour (optional)

1 round plastic cake storage jar (Tupperware 3" deep)

Instructions.

Melt 500gms clear soapbase. Add the honey and the yellow food colouring.

Put the oats into the base of the storage container and pour on the soap base.Gently stir until mixed in fully. Spritz with alcohol.

Melt the white soapbase and add the goats milk and a teaspoon of

the cocoa powder. Begin to cool and add 5ml of the fo. When the

oat layer has a skin able to support the next layer - spritz again

and pour the pale chocolate layer on top - spritz

Melt the remainder (except about 2 tbsp) of the clear soap base,

add the remainder of the cocoa powder - cool slightly and add the

last 5ml of the fo. When the light chocolate layer has cooled

enough to support the next layer spritz again and pour the cooled

dark chocolate soap layer.

When totally cold, turn out of the mould. Cut the Cadbury Flake

bars into 12 small pieces and use a small amount of melted soap

to "glue" them onto the chocolate heaven gateaux - remember to

spritz lightly with alcohol first to ensure a good bond.

Slice as required into 12 delicious portions of chocolate Heaven

Gateaux (and hardly a calorie in sight)

TIP** When mixing in the powdered goats milk and the cocoa, mix

the powder into a small amount of melted soap and mix into a paste,

then add the paste to the base. This helps to stop the dreaded

lumps.

For a Vegan soap, omit the honey and goats milk and replace the flakes with carob pieces

Comment.

Remember to put a huge sign up saying SOAP! Looks good enough to eat!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, think i'm gonna need it. I keep looking at the recipe and decided i'll probably jump in head first and do this one straight away. Just worried i wont know when the bottom layer is strong enough to support the next layer...lol It just might end up looking like one of my cakes would...lol all in a heap in the middle :laugh2:

Thanks for the kind words hun, i'm searching the net now, trying to find out everything i possibly can before my supplies turn up which is hopefully day after tomorrow. Then I have to rope one of his mates into taking him fishing...hhhmm how hard will that be....

Mate: Shaun you wanna go fishing?

Shaun: Nah I want to stay here with the missus and 4 kids

Yeah right can you see that happening....lol

Then if i fail he need never know....hehe oh the devious webs we weave..

just an after thought i'd have to take pics of the whole process cos if on the off chance it did turn out he wouldn't believe me then...hhhmm
