During my Uni days, my summer job was in the factory making the battenburg cake, and my role was to place the marzipan in the grinding machine , which was then rolled out onto the conveyer belt.JR8 wrote:Ooh.... with the marzipan coating?
Yum!

It was a graded job so you got an extra £2.50 a week.

Just went back, it's called Alli Oli and is in the Marina Bay Financial Centre link mall. The place is actually a Spanish Deli but they do a few cakes too, the one I like is called a nutty bar which is mostly chocolate, nuts and marshmallows on the top and a biscuit base (so not really a brownie but looks a bit like one)nakatago wrote:Where is this wonderful place? No, seriously, where?JayCee wrote:Favourite cake is some sort of nutty brownie thing that I discovered at a shop near work the other day and which I'm now addicted to!

At the expo food exhibitions I have seen people from Holland selling Cheese, not sure if they are making it here though!sundaymorningstaple wrote:Now, pistachio I could go for, but how the devil to get cheese flavoured here in Singers to try it? Any of the small 'peens shops here carry it? I'm curious now.
There is an Italian gelato factory in the same building as us and it's 100% Italian, he fly's in the ingredients, in woodlands.I did see one 'gourmet' gelato/ice cream store
Though Ice Cream is my biggest burden in life, when it comes to weight and calories, I'm a real pig

I really have to cut out sugar again, it really screws the metabolism!
Northern UK people are generally clued up on manufacturing, especially the candy and cakes. I miss good old Yorkshire pudding and gravy with a few slices of roast beef

I wasn't involved in the mixing of the ingredients as when the marzipan goes on its at the end of the process.tinkerbell88 wrote:Barnsley,
do you have the recipe???
From looking at it , you need two different coloured sponges and some marzipan.

I imagine its quite a pain making it yourself....
