[Poggle]

I make mine..............

 

[xgeordie]

£15 from Bako. Can't be arsed to make my own.

 

[Russel]

Bako S/west is £8.95 and Bako Wales is £9.60 ?

 

[xgeordie]

..unfortunately I got mine from Bako NW (£15 includes the VAT)

Must be lucky down here in the south then,as they don't charge VAT on fondant or sugar,or many other foods.

So presumably it doesn't count as a food then. I thought food was zero rated.

 

[xgeordie]

Hmmm...just checked the receipt and it does indeed say zero VAT. I'm sure I was told £12 odd on the phone, but £15 when I picked up. The scoundrels!

Edit: Just checked and price confirmed £15.07. The £12 must have been a dream.

another post on another thread last month did mention an october price increase.

Price from NW went up Monday. I did know so ordered online Sunday at £12 something.

The carriage (farmed out to a courier) is extortionate at over two packs so bought two lots of two (for a LOT less). Arrived together. Best not need any more!

thanks for that - not for fondant (directly) but was discussing on skype with the missus while watching the bakeoff masterclass on BBC that we could do with some "fresh cream" eclair cases for iced buns.

[Flatters]

Thank you all for that.

Do you have a system for feeding fondant?

Do you do it as you think they need it?

Do you feed some syrup with thymol then give them a box of fondant for winter?

Some detail would be good please as I am thinking about thymol syrup and a box of fondant for their winter feed.
