I'm not quite sure what you mean Nikki

marbling as in marble cake?? cos that's easy, you just have two colours/flavours of cake batter, pour them carefully into your tin and swirl them together with a skewer

Bindii, you can do <i>Italics</i> the same way as bold, except use an I instead *studies HTML*, Hmm I wonder if the color coding would work on the bored! EXPERIMENTING TIME!

Prefered styles/types of cooking/food: For Meat, we prefer Beef and Chicken, We don't really do fish... We also don't like a ton of veggies, enough to cover portions we need to be healthy, but we don't indulge in them....I love cooking/backing/anything in the kitchen really XD. I like dishes that require a little bit of Creativity Happy

Nikki, yup! that's marbling, you pour your two mixtures in in blobs and swirl slightly with a skewer.
Shapes on coffee are super easy - you use a sugar sifter or salt shaker with fine holes to sprinkle over a stencil. You can buy them, but you can make your own by cutting/punching shapes in card (or packaging plastic if you want to be able to wash & re-use them)

Us?? Crazy?? Look who's talking!!
That's cute P. I've made a couple like that for gifts (my own recipe collection is , of course, scribbled on bits of paper and crammed in a polybag Tongue

Cassie, no one likes a smartypants, ya know! ;P

Oh wow! I swear I looked all over the first post for the dates and couldn't see them. Time to have my eyes checked again, huh? Now everything is clearer though, thank you so much Bindii! ^______^

Thank you to Mary, my glamorous assistant. How very efficient of you - I'd have just said "it's when you hold your paper up & down the way instead of across the way (landscape) " Happy

Believe it or not, I had never heard such terms. So I did what I usually do when I find something I don't know - I googled them! Happy

TBH, at first I thought it meant I had to include a picture of the finished recipe ^____^°°°

It makes your post look ridiculously long when posting but when you look at it after you've posted it it's not long Happy

I have a conversion table which I have used since school:
Oven Temperatures
Gas 1 - 140C - 275F
Gas 2 - 150C - 300F
Gas 3 - 160C - 325F
Gas 4 - 180C - 350F
Gas 5 - 190C - 375F
Gas 6 - 200C - 400F
Gas 7 - 220C - 425F
Gas 8 - 230C - 450F
Gas 9 - 245C - 475F
Alternative Gas 9 - 260C - 500F
For fan assisted ovens the temperature is usually lower, but not always.

Handy Measures
teaspoon = 5g
tablespoon = 15g
1 litre = 1000 millilitres
half a litre = 500ml
quarter litre = 250ml
kilogram = 1000g
1ounce (oz) = 25g

I don't have a conversion for pints. But that's the basics.
