Dear Nixietrix,

This might sound a little corny however I just read your column and I think you are simply aMAIZEing. Now that’s why I wrote in for a little snifter of advice myself. You see I’ve got a bit of a hot date lined up with a rather dashing, dishy, delight of a hottie sharlottie. Trouble is this gorgeous hunk of a radishing spunk from the dark side of cyber-town is playing hard to get. Now I’m hoping to win the full measure of his broken heart with the worlds best cake. I’m thinking I need just a little more than 50 shades of Earl Grey on the menu this time so Ms. Nixistar I would be most grateful for your help. Please do-nut say no. I just simply couldn’t bare it this time if he turniped his nose at my food for udon know how much he means to me.

Look I know I’m no Breeonyce and I don’t want to come across too strong for fear of giving him the crepes, but I do secretly long for the words olive you. I just want him to Knead me….

Thanks a skinny latte,

Yours,

Miss E. Wok

Dear Miss Wok,

Honeydew you love my column? Oh how very sweet to have passed on your admiration….

Salami- get this straight, you want the worlds best cake to impress the one who has single handedly stolen another little pizza your heart again?

I’ve got just the recipe my dear little lady wok and if this doesn’t hit his spot then it’s simply nacho your problem anymore.

So…let me suggest to you my dear.

LeCroquembouchetowerofburning,yearningLovelecarameldelighttakeabite

Ingredients:

I cup of water (sincerity and loving intention need only be included)

A good knob of butter (best -very firm)

Eggs (well whipped)

Flour (softly sifted)

Milk  (two jugs)

Vanilla (spiced, buttery, sweet….)

Sugar (a generous offering)

Method:

Begin, slow and steady where water meets butter gently. Bring ingredients to a gradual boiling point and you butter make sure to gently spoon in the soft folds of carefully prepared flour power. Eggs, whipped good and that’s not all yolks for next we continue to stir the pot of desire in a circular motion to form a ready dough, thick and glossy. On a warmed, well greased pan position rounded dough. Balls should be firm.  Sprinkle water to create a vigorous expulsion of steam….oh and now to bake in a hot oven, heat rising…next the crème patissiere should begin to brew..warm milk, sweet sugar, spiced vanilla, more flour, more and more and and oh dear,,,,,whisk with increased speed.. uhuh…. Where was I, er YES ..NOW… release mixture into opened profiteroles,,, ahhhh so delicious and now to stack layer upon layer upon layer, rising, rising to the top, to the highest peak and finally YES ,yes, OH MY goodness cascading chocolate sauce with a mind blowing finale of caramel delight……..

If he doesn’t like it or better still he doesn’t love you for that matter, simply chalk it up as a disappointing impasta of love... And if all else fails keep calm and curry on…

Anyway I hope it all goes according to flan….

Yours with a fanta-stick cup of sunshine,

Nixietrixstar
